My BF is going to get this, and I'm willing to get a first impression from him.

I have only played a short bit (a couple of hours), but I am loving it so far. I love the VATS system (the bullet-time targeting system), definitely makes for some awesome kill-shots. I can't wait to see what's in store for the next couple of hours.

The leveling system isn't the same as Oblivions. You get experience from combat and quests and get skill points to allocate when you level up. You can allocate them to several stats as you see fit, but the levels cap at 20 before you ever come close to maxing everything. So no, you can't be all things to everyone.I was going to make a point here but I can't back it up, so instead I'll pose a question to Milfy: Is it still designed with the same skill building style as the old Fallouts or did they make it Oblivion-like where you can be everything to everyone and a total jack of all trades?
Whoa, look how time flies. I've been waiting for a continuation for the Fallout series for a long time, and it's finally here. I loved the first two Fallout games to bits, so I hope that Bethesda will at least have followed up the quality of Black Isle Studios and created an adequate successor to the series.
Too bad I'll need to save money to buy a better computer before I can even dream of trying this one out. I look forward to playing the game, though, once the time is right.
BoB: One of the appealing things about the first two Fallout games was how the world was quite big and everything you did affected pretty much everything. You could be a reviled character in one town and be a messianic hero in another (although news do spread...), and you could make the character a combat-oriented person or someone who prefers to use wits and speech to solve problems. The morality wasn't clear-cut, and often the decisions you made turned out to be gray. You could thus play a clear villain or hero or something in between, and it wasn't always easy to know who was really the bad guy. Your actions had long-term effects on the world in general, and the world itself was quite a gritty place with prostitution, child abuse, fear, paranoia etc. but also with redeeming virtues. In short, you could do almost anything but you had to be prepared to face the consequencies of your actions. Such an open-ended and complex world was something that I liked in the Fallout games, and I hope the third game will feature at least a fraction of that complexity.
How I met your mother, Donald Duck's parents style! Love at first temper tantrum!

No, but, it goes a long way further towards than that most other games do. In Fallout 1, if you did stuff the right way, you could basically talk the last boss out of it. Which is such an awesome way to win!Can you actually do whatever, whenever? There have been plenty of other games that have made this claim and then fall short on it because they don't know how to make it happen.It's a huge RP thing where you can do whatever, whenever. Instead of it being swords and stuff like a regular RPG, you have guns. Andhit the fan, so the world sucks.
About that spoilered-out food-finding mission thing... if you didn't notice, the chick is kind of a nut job. I mean, she also asks you to go out and irradiate yourself so she can ask you how you feel then give you some medecine (though you get a pretty rad mutation if you go through with it to the extreme). And to go and disarm some land mines. All different levels of bizarre. She's not exactly on the same plane of thought as 'normal' people.
In the beginning, did you take the gun from Amata when she first offers it to you? I didn't, and when I saw the result of that a little later on my mind was blown.
Yeah, Moira's nuts, but it's not well-conveyed that it's a dumb idea or anything. It just feels like you're given a regular fetch quest. The other stuff certainly feels like a crazy girl asking you to do crazy things; that one didn't successfully convey it at all.
I took the gun from Amata. Didn't even think not to. I'll have to check it out =O
My laptop cannot run this game... Makes me rather sad indeed.

I'm enjoying this game quite a lot, though it's my first Fallout game. The VATS system is really neat, nothing like waiting for a mole rate to jump at you, then slow time down and aim for it's head just to watch it's body go one way, and it's head the other.
That sounds awesome. Fallout always had to awesome deaths I had some fun with the Bloody Mess trait in Fallout 2. I shot someone in the groin with a Gauss Rifle once and they pretty much exploded.I'm enjoying this game quite a lot, though it's my first Fallout game.

Y'all know you can pick pockets right? Well, instead of stealing stuff from someone, try putting a grenade into their pocket...

The head isn't the only body part that can be shot off either. There's also a Bloody Mess perk which increases the chance of causing a body to explode at the point of death.
Best xbox achievement ever.
I have been playing this game to the point that I haven't even got on here to post about it.
Fun Fact: Fallout 3 = Win
Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?
Apox on this game, it's too good! I'm supposed to have University work done for tomorrow and I physically can't stop playing. Seriously, actually unable to stop.
