Returning to the Fallout universe in New Vegas is a reminder that some elements of interface can actually complement gameplay. Specifically, I find that inventory management, despite being menu driven, becomes an essential part of the experience of the world in both Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I actually take pleasure in managing my inventory in these games. It immerses rather than violates the rules of the world.
