Well it's pretty nice, I mean the world they created is so expansive. I am still fucking around in Megaton City with some silly side missions. Took me like an hr. to get out of the Vault.
I also wanted to explore so I started to run around the world, and baddies get to be a real pain in the ass the further you get out.
Also, nobody told me this was more RPG v. shooter, and I never knew of nor played the old ones...so that was a surprise, but I dig it.

yeah i tried to warn a friend it was more RPG than shooter, however the action is very accessible and I think the targeting system is rewarding and gruesome enough for shooter fans

I thought it was a shooter too. I'm not sold on it just yet.
But it's pretty cool so far.

I've played for about 5hrs. total now, and feel like I've only just begun to skim the surface. I went around exploring the world, and quickly had some serious baddies coming after me. I ran away since ammo is scarce and I will prob. need it for the actual story. I know if you go bad, you get a few different perks like more ammo from thieving.
Are you guys playing it through as a peace-keeper or villain? I think the two variations will get me going to play this twice. I'm going good right now though.

I've been playing as a goodie-two-shoes and keep getting ambushed by random mercenary groups who have contracts to kill for me. It's rather amusing. I'm about 14 hrs in and have just been doing side quests, building XP and gear.

Yeah. I've done probably only 1 side quest so far. I can see myself just getting lost in them.
I have lots of different types of ammo, but no guns for them.
Also, is it possible to sell weapons back to armories? Cause I have about 10 .32's right now

there's a 7-11 near me that's selling this and the quantom of solace game. both for the 360. since when does 7-11 sell videogames?
- Well young. drunk and high people (all 3 even) spend a lot of time at 7-11. Seems a good idea.ETM

wow best game ever! i'm 20 hours or so into it, you can be as good or evil as you want... you can kill and rob pretty much anyone in the game if you wanted to. voice acting is superb, better than most movies, and the shit they have to say is actually interesting. there are tons of tough moral choices, which are not always black and white... and there is always more than one way to do a mission or get past an obstacle.
in one mission you have to choose if you want to help the hunter or the hunted, and both give you different rewards. but i was able to got both by warning the hunted about the hunter and getting one reward. then i offered him to kill the hunter, went back to the hunter and told him where the hunted was, getting the second reward and then killing him and taking his stuff too. brilliant game.
- I've done similar things to this a couple times already, brilliant game design indeed.d_rek

Did anybody else kill amata's dad (overseer) when they were still in the vault? I wonder how this will come back and kick me in the ass later on...

man. i'm COMPLETELY addicted. I'm trying to not think about it at work, but I almost typed the words "super mutant" into an e-mail.
CoD5 comes out in a few days and 007 is out ... I'm fucked.
- Yeah, me too. My friend will periodically IM me throughout the day "fallout", totally throws me off my gamed_rek

im stuck. i played all day long. got lots of quests and what the hell i should do now? no ammo, nothing... not enough experience to bomb the crator...
- calcium0
I've been doing a lot of side quests and my ammo and bottlecap collection is huge now because of it.
I despise fire ants by the way. What an awful side quest. I really contemplated going bad guy for that one and just killing that kid.
- i was going to do that side quest tonight...this should be interesting..f'n antsmeatball
