With mods it's even better.

TC, Fallout 3 is also amazing in its own right, as is new vegas. (I agree with others that they are superior)

There is a project that combines both of those games, and fixes bugs in both, it's called Tale of Two Wastelands (TTW for short).

TTW at this point fixes so many bugs, it runs better than EITHER game by themselves. It is balanced together, and you can take your progress from Fallout 3 and all its expansions, to New vegas and all its expansions (And fan made expansions).

It turns the two of them combined into one of the biggest RPGs ever, and easily the biggest post-apocalypse RPG ever. And like I said, it runs better than both, so even if you don't want to play both with one character, it's still better to play either of those games on TTW.

If you google that, you'll find their site. However, it would be worth it to watch that every few weeks. SOmetime probably in the next 1 or 2 months, they are going to launch a huge years in the making update. TTW 3.3, watch out for that (current is 3.2). But New Vegas modders are really excited for 3.3 cause the guys working on that have fixed so many bugs across Fallout 3 and New Vegas, those games are going to be buttery smooth with that new update.

It's one of the most impressive modding projects for any game I've seen. It brings Fallout 3 up to the standards of new vegas and even beyond (brings in all new mechanics from vegas, survival, ironsights, more). And because New Vegas the game is the base, you can still use many New Vegas mods, while Fallout 3 mods are slowly ported over by the community.

And there's plenty of nice new mods, that make the game mechanically feel very nice and more modern. Not completely modern, but better.

It's a project most people sleep on, even though it is the most premium way to enjoy those games as of right now.
