I do recommend Arkham City, it's a lot of fun and not too long if you're just doing the main story.

In New Vegas, I've completed several major questlines, dealing with the Great Khans, the Omertas, Mr. House, and the Brotherhood, including Veronica's storyline. I also did the Dead Money DLC which was an interesting experience. I've noticed that, generally speaking, quests in this game fall into 2 categories: mainly exploration, or mainly skillchecks. That is, going out to a dungeon area to kill some things, or going around a town area talking to NPCs. I tend to prefer the latter, since it feels more like I'm actually participating in solving a problem, even though the skillchecks are a pretty simplistic way of doing it. From what I know about Bethesda's Fallout games, they have better exploration but skimp out on the NPC interaction side, which does not sound like an appealing change to me.

I don't want to spoil Dead Money too heavily, but it tried something a bit different to this pattern. It has a very small set of areas to explore, and the skillchecks you make interact with your exploration in a much more direct way. I liked it in theory, but the DLC has a few mechanics that make things really frustrating. The main reason to play it is the writing, as usual.
