Played it, beat it. Super easy game. Could have been so much better than it was... one more overhyped title released by Bethesda. I love the fallout franchise and RPG's in general, but Fallout 3 felt dead and lifeless. Not to be confused with a dead and lifeless landscape, but the interactions felt dead. Much like oblivion, the game felt manufactured and lacked the more subtle touches of life that older developers were able to instil into their titles. Perhaps its a side effect of modern 3d gaming or something more abstract but either way its a real shame. The Fallout franchise has so much potential, only to be partially tapped and released as the medicore title Fallout 3.
There are a handful of PC mods for the game that are beginning to bring it to life and add more RPG elements. Such as eating and sleeping, and more realistic wildlife behavior. Things that make you afraid to get into that next skirmish, and rationing your Stimpacks and Radaway. To really feel like you are surviving in these dreadful wastes. The vanilla game lacks that feeling, handing out ammo and health like its candy. If you really want to treat yourself, give the modding community a bit longer and play the game modded out. Any self respecting gamer will be dissapointed with the vanilla game, of what could have been and what should have been.
