Well, I have now played Fallout 3 for over 100 hours. I am 20th level
and have completed all of the main quest except the final part which
ends the game. I am still wandering the wastes seeking out new
encounters and finding them. I must admit that I have been pleasantly
surprised at how good this game is. It is much better than Oblivion.
It does have the flavor of Fallout. I would have preferred a top down
turn based game, but what Bethesda has produced is a great game in its
own right. I recommend this game to anyone who loved the first two
games. But, beware Deathclaws! The designers went insane and you may
as well fight them naked for all the good power armor does. A
Deathclaw can kill a 20th level character in full power armor in about
four blows. Deathclaws also move very fast. It takes about six to
eight headshots from a Plasma Rifle to kill a Deathclaw, even when
half of those shots are critical hits! In short, they are way too
powerful. But, aside from the super Deathclaws, most creatures are
just fine. So, give Fallout 3 a shot and post your opinions.
