I picked up Fallout 3 yesterday (because Christmas is always about buying presents for yourself) and I've put in around 3 or so hours. I'm with Noctiluca with this one. I can appreciate the game and can see why its so highly rated but I've found myself being bored half the time while playing. Wandering the wasteland is incredibly dull. The combat is boring both as an RPG and a FPS. And its also the same enemies types over and over again.

The VATS system is also just stupid by design. Why are you given the option to target all parts of someones body if it is always most effective to shoot for the head. Although its always satisfying to watch peoples limbs fly off left and right.

Again. I've only played a couple of hours so maybe I just haven't seen what this game really has to offer but so far the only interesting thing that has happened was me doing in Butches mum. That's what she deserves for raising such a bastard child.
