Ok, after some reflection and a lot of play, I quite like Fallout 3. The graphics are very nice, although the locations do get a little repetitive. VATS is cute, although again I got to a point where I didn't want to see every single Super Mutant's head explode in slow-motion. I like the variety of clothing and weaponry, although it would have been nice to see the "special" weapons a bit more visibly distinct from their commonplace counterparts. I very much like the way that you can play effectively even when not wearing armour, so you can choose whichever "look" suits you and not worry about being diced by the first baddie to come along. The game becomes a little easy once you hit 20, although there are still some opponents which can provide a challenge.
My main gripe is the lack of things to do; there seem to be very many fewer quests than Oblivion had. I don't much like Oblivion, and Fallout 3 is certainly a big improvement, but there seem to be much less "directed" things to do, which is a shame.
I'm systematically hunting through every single location on the map at the moment, and writing down what's in every place. I'm sad like that.

Hehe thats not sad
I did almost the same thing when I started getting bored. I highly recommend you download the GECK and give it a shot if you haven't already. I'm in the process of creating my own vault.

I recon
My vault is coming along well, but its still got a LONG way to go (more rooms, levels, lighting, navmesh, optimization etc). The possibilities of the GECK are endless! Heres an image of what I've done so far if your interested:
Gotta love thumbnails

I've watched hours of video of fallout3 it looks amazing luckily I've got a copy of fallout 2 and a character editor i like to cheat I'm a bit lazy with games of this type but I'm going to go play it until i buy fallout3 sometime after christmas
Yeah, you should be able to pick it up relatively cheap now. I cant wait till the DLC becomes available (I was hoping for it to come out for Christmas
). As for my vault that I'm building, a quick update
1. Cafeteria
2. GECK Room
3. Vault Entrance
4. Upper Levels/Atrium (still working on it)
5. Armory and Firing Range
It should be pretty straight through from now on since I've got all the hard bits done. I'm still torn as to the location of the vault. I could do something similar to Vault 101's entrance and place it in the hills to the north somewhere or I can do something like Brauns vault and have it hidden in the basement of some random abandoned house. Any other ideas are appreciated.
