When you get over the initial "Wow!" factor, this game proves to be a dreary grind.
I thought Fallout 3 was ... well, not so good.
Upon starting the game I was greatly impressed with "play through your childhood" aspect and was gripped until getting to Megaton and doing some quests.
Talk about grind! In my opinion, the whole class system is lame. Why give you all the options at the start when you dont know how they all work and how often you will use them? I'm of course talking about talents and the like.
Then there's the whole scavaging for ammo, and yeah, this is post apocalyptic and not much ammo about but I don't care. When the enemies are equppied to the nines it's depressing..
People who say this is better then Oblivion really confuse me because it is quite clearly not. Oblivion was a much better balanced game and it was prettier too.
