Yeah the scope of the game is huge and I feel taken back while I play it. I like how Bethseda just throws you in and hopes for the best.

Fallout 3 is time consuming to say the least. Great game that will make you invest time into playing it.

Pimp, blowing up Megaton was probably my all time "WOW" moment in a game. You literally don't want to do it, but then you realize its only a game, and you press the button!!!!

aawesome!!!

You blow up MegatRon and you're going to have a bunch of angry Transformer fangirls after you.

Its a good game no doubt, but after getting level 17 or so (20 hrs played) and doing the majority of the main quest and a good handful of side missions, the world doesn't feel so daunting, it feels a little limited honestly. I've got all the skills that I want up to 100, and all the ammo/guns one could ever want. I feel there's not much replay value besides seeing a few differences when being evil. There will be no new weapons or whatnot to use...and it suffers a little from the obvlivion effect where most important missions are in a cramped corridor area or cave or whatnot. There wont be new compat mechanics or new guns or anything...the difference in the ending is predictable. Great game but not much replay value. Sure at the beginning it felt huge and overwhelming, but once you start getting your bearings it's over all too fast and feels a little...not quite as large as it seems when all you have on your map is megaton and vault 101. TO me it's a rent to play the hell out of, but not much beyond that. You don't have the variety of combat and armor and so on that you do in oblivion. It's a bit more concentrated int hat aspect. Great game, deserving of high marks, but something to buy? Don't think so.

This is from a different post of mine in regards to the last quest dealio.

"With all of these endings- you actually don't want it to save after you beat the game. Think about it- how many of us are complete hard core 100% game completionists? So if you have to see what the ending is- (who isnt curious?) then go beat the game and then if you enjoy your character, you reload prior to beating the game and continue with the exploration, hidden quests, blah blah, then go and beat the game again, the ending will change. If you want reload and play more then beat it again....different ending."

Since I haven't beat the game, I think this is correct sounding.

Well sir, besides your avatar sending waves of revulsion through me....you mentioned that you scored 1000, 1 of only 50 presently to accomplish this feat, and because it took you 44 hours the concept of "a lot to do" is nonsense?

First you are obviously in the minority (1 of 50 u go guy!)

All the bobble heads! You used a guide yes? Exploring blindly would have taken too long?

With the level 20 good bad and neutral karma achievements, i take it you reloaded after adjusting your karma prior to hitting 20?

Im sorry but the speed and efficiency with which you accomplished this feat is undermined by the fact that you may have forgot to stop and smell the radiated roses.

Im sure you can race through it at that pace and do the game campaign under 4 hours and get all the achievements in 44 hrs. But why rush through it? Me being an avid rpg fan hardly ever fast travels, explores alot and builds my characters stats. I just like to enjoy the game and make it last. I spent 250+ on oblivion and still havnt done every side quest. But im really enjoying fallout 3!

I didn't think fable 2 was all that hot. It was to easy and to short.Also I'm a little bias because I love dialogue trees and fable 2 didn't have them. After I had beat it I was like "was that it"? The story was weak and I was surprised that it was lacking something that every other RPG has at the end, boss fight. I thought it was fun but nothing like what I am experiencing with Fallout 3. I mean it has been a long time I have sat for 6 hours straight playing a game and it's because of fallout. My wife was so pissed this past weekend. lol

Companies ain't your friend, bro.
