Priority fixes

  1. [title_readability] Increase the size and weight of the NEW VEGAS subtitle text so it remains legible at 120x45 pixels, possibly with a stronger outline or glow against the red diamond shape.
  2. [uniqueness_polish] Enhance the overall image with a more unified color grade or painterly treatment to close the polish gap with top-tier genre benchmarks.
  3. [composition] Add a subtle vignette or directional lighting to reduce the dead zone in the lower center and draw the eye more intentionally across the full frame.
  4. [contrast_color] Boost the rim light or edge glow on the courier character to sharpen silhouette separation at tiny sizes where armor detail is lost.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness] Add a sentence early in the detailed description explaining what differentiates New Vegas from other open-world RPGs or from Fallout 3 specifically (e.g., mention the faction system's branching endings or the Mojave's distinct aesthetic) to stand alone for players unfamiliar with the series.
  2. [feature_communication] Lead the Key Features section with a summary sentence that ties mechanics to player agency (e.g., 'Build your character, choose your faction, and carve your own path in the Mojave') before listing individual systems.
  3. [audience_targeting] Add a brief signal for accessibility (e.g., 'New to Fallout?' or 'Veteran of the Wasteland?') to reassure newcomers they can enjoy the game without prior series knowledge, since the copy currently assumes Fallout 3 familiarity.
  4. [hook_strength] Expand the short description slightly to hint at player agency or faction choice (e.g., 'Welcome to Vegas. New Vegas. Become a legend, a king, or a ghost in the machine—if you survive.') to better hook players seeking choice-driven RPGs before they read further.
