In my view, Fallout 3 world building far exceeds NV world building. Not in terms of lore, but in terms of visual design and atmosphere.
Bethesda worked on FO3 for 4 years, with a very large team + good knowledge about the engine.
Obsidian created FO:NV in 1.5 - 2 years (cant remember exactly), they had to learn the engine + build a big open world with a smaller team.
I guess it's not too bad if you take that into account.. Obviously FO3 has better world building and design, but it could have been much better if you take into account the larger team and time frame + extremely good knowledge about the engine.
I'd love to see Obsidian working together with Bethesda for a, pretty much, perfect game.
