The buggiest game I have ever come across. If this is a glimpse of the future PC Gamers are in for a very bumpy ride.

If you like open world games like Morrowind or Oblivion there is a lot to enjoy here. One thing you might want to avoid is the main quest which ends up being nothing less than a huge letdown. Not only is it short but the game also ends when it is completed. Fortunately there are mods to get around this.

A big selling point of this game might be the G.E.C.K. which allows you to mod the game. It is rather easy to use once you spend a little time with it. If you are one who finds this game boring then there is a chance that some mods could change your opinion.

The worst problem with this game is that it seems not to have been put through a QA process. This game is full of bugs and there are many experiencing CTD's. You should not have to tweak and troubleshoot your system for a week just to be able to get it to run.

Fortunately most games run just fine for most people right out of the box. If Fallout 3 is a sign of things to come then PC Gamers might be in for a bumpy ride. Games like Fallout 3 will end up hurting PC sales if customers have to worry if a game they have purchased will run or not.

Tech support at Bethesda seems to be little more than a joke and the programmers either do not know what they are doing or they simply do not care. Neither of which reflects well on PC Gaming.
