Fallout: New Vegas
Shooter inputs with VATS assist
Grand Ages: Medieval
No twitch input - menus and orders only
Grand Ages: Medieval leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Fallout: New Vegas
Scripted factions and enemies
Grand Ages: Medieval

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Fallout: New Vegas
Some loot and crit RNG
Grand Ages: Medieval
Map and events scripted-but-unknown until explored
Grand Ages: Medieval leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Fallout: New Vegas
Faction routing, perks, builds heavily rewarded
Grand Ages: Medieval
Trade routes, city placement and economy are the solvable core
