Awesome. Just picked up this gamea couple nights ago, played it for the first time last night. I played it for a good 2 or 3 hours, and I've only barely sunk my teeth into Megaton.

Having never played the original 2 Fallout games, I didn't think I would be able to enjoy this installment as much as I have been. I can tell I'm going to be spending a lot of time on this game. I'm contemplating NOT exploring the entire map the first run through, so I can come back with a totally new character and see totally new things. Even if I do explore everything, though, I'll definitely be playing this again, simply to make the other decisions that I will be passing up on this first run. That's what Fallout is supposed to be all about, right? Choices.

This game is very obviously made by Bethesda. It reminds me so much of The Elder Scrolls series, I got all giddy when I first started playing. I can still remember playing Morrowind for a good 2 years (off and on of course) before actually STARTING the main quest of the game. Fallout 3 has also rekindled my interest in the series, and I very well might start up Oblivion again, since I never really got too far into it.

All in all, good stuff. Can't wait to review this game.
