Only thing I like is the atmosphere. Everything else is partially awesome.

I bought it along with a Nvidia GeForce 9600 card And its awesome!

I've played it on 360, bloody awesome.
I've played it on PC, Even more bloody awesome
I've played it on PS3, Ewww.

Fanboy

Hmmm...I didn't plan on buying it but now I've read some more stuff about it I may end up buying it after all

I first thought that this was an alien shooter but it has a pretty big RPG part in it :O

Amazing game Just started it like 2hrs ago.

Well, here are 2 ideas 'bout Megaton. Turn Burke to the sheriff, he'll go arrest him and Burke will kill the sheriff. Kill Burke and take stuff from both of them. Or just blow the whole city down.

I just can't stop telling myself how this is so great that you can just do whatever the f you want

There are litterally like 1000 ways to do stuff. Amazing.

Finally picked this up on Steam

i know about the rpg elements, but I wanted to know more about the shooter elements in it. i saw a menu popping up that enabled you to pick where to hit the dude and then it automatically shoots him there, is it always like that or does it come with shooter elements a la COD and CS?

You can aim, zoom in, shoot, reload, holster, and use V.A.T.S (the system you described above) but that's about it shooting wise You're likely to be more succesful by using the automated target system (VATS)

I don't think it's much different then cs/cod, but it's not the same either. It's a totally different type of game, and aiming/shooting is not its main priority, but the shooting system IS alike... aim, zoom, kill.

You can, however, build custom weapons, and you're responsible for repairing your own weapons.

great game, i raged at the end of it though.

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_quests

i finished the game as a "good" person, now i'm gonna replay again as an "evil" character.

So is there an option to play it as FPS? cuz doing the game with the VATS seems boring =x

Yeah, but without it is much harder. And it's cool. :s

A friend plans on buying it, I'll see if he gets it and checks it there how the shooting system works :p If I like it I can always borrow it, or get it myself =p hehe

You don't buy fallout 3 to play it as a "shooter"
It's a RPG/Action/Adventure game and you play it that way

Also, the VATS system doesn't get boring

Yeah, VATS never gets old. I still squish the Radroaches just to see them explode everywhere. I was so fuckin shocked when I vaporized a ghoul with my laser pistol for the first time xD.

Headshots with the railway rifle = win

Still need to make myself that

I made some nuka-grenades earlier though, DAMN they are strong.

I never played a shooter RPG so I hoped it was a real FPS RPG, but I do believe you that it won't get old haha...I'll see if I buy it.

Don't there is a demo due to the huge size of the map, they would basically have to create a new map just for the demo.

Then again they could just use vault 101 as the demo.

I just got this game, and I, too, thought it was very dumb and stupid, but, damn....I was wrong. It's a great game!! I'm primarily an FPS, RTS, and MMORPG player, and I agree that this shouldn't be considered as a shooter, but most of the elements in-game point to it as an adventure game.

I'll try and explain for your question. Your actions, ultimately, are triggered by certain results that occur by you (the character). Your Karma (being good or a bad person) affects what quests or situations occur. Also, discovering places on the map (there's quite a bit) opens up more side quests to do. Some good things you can do are helping to kill the "evil" guys, saving hostages, giving water to the thirsty, etc. Some bad things are killing people randomly, stealing items/property from people's houses, pickpocketing, hacking unauthorized computers, kidnapping people to become slaves for a client (quest), etc. When they say you can do almost anything, believe them. There's a lot of options or choices, and there's a lot of results that occur from these. Hell, even WHAT you WEAR affects or triggers things. So replayability is pretty high.

I'm doing the "bad guy" route, and I'm enjoying it. I just finished a city called "Megaton." After taking the information I needed for the main quest, my accomplice (Jericho) and I took it down, looted it, and blew it up. Now I'm being hired as a hitman to take out some ghouls. Presently, I'm being called a scumbag within the in-game radio for slaughtering the ghouls. Anyways, great game!

EDIT: Corrected spelling.

Yeah, pretty good description

What personally rocks IMO, is the fact that the area is so HUGE, like you wouldn't believe, it takes you like half an hour at least to cross not even half of the map. You could walk endlessly somewhere and interesting stuff would come in your way. Buildings, which are huge, take some time to clear out and get all the stuff You have to hack computers which is fun, pick locks which is fun, and kill stuff. Always a chance of finding a sidequest, or you find some file in the computer that leads you to a key to some safe which you have to remember yourself. You're free in this game and that aspect is awesome. Not to mention you can even forge the good or bad you. You can, for example, in the first city, decide to disarm this bomb for the people there, but there's a evil person who is willing to hire you to blow the town up with taht bomb, you can go to the "sheriff" of the town and tell him, and trigger some nice events like this^^.

You can use people with several skills, like charisma, and get extra information out of them.
Most people have something useful to tell, I personally never skip an NPC unless I have to for some reason, I talk to them all. It's really fun to get caught up in the story.

There are HUNDREDS of places you can go and do whatever you want.

The radio station which you do come in contant with, is really fun to listen to, the DJ talks about you as you go on with your quests, talking about your good or bad deeds

There are sidequests with some of these people and these are really worth it.

You can play this game your way, include your own style and whatnot.

This is defenitely one of the best game I've played

i cant wait for the mods to pop up
