One thing I'm not liking is **SHOULDN'T BE SPOILER BUT JUST IN CASE** when I kill a character that all the locals seem to despise and then they turn on me for doing what they've been hoping I'd do all along. Ingrates!! Broke down and bought it

Guess I’m done with WAR for now.

One thing I’m not liking is

**SHOULDN’T BE SPOILER BUT JUST IN CASE**

when I kill a character that all the locals seem to despise and then they turn on me for doing what they’ve been hoping I’d do all along. Ingrates!!

Just a note, but if you have no radio station on, you get ambient music. After I read this entry my debit card leapt straight out of my pocket.

Just because it's in first/third person doesn't mean you still aren't constantly trying to juggle the right inventory items for the right situation, the tactical mode is pretty much a must use to really take full advantage of the limited supplies of the wastes. The game engine feels like Oblivion, but the additions really made a huge difference. Also the voice acting that was broken in Elder Scrolls 4 is definatly fixed here. I'm not just saying this is an advance in gaming, but it's also a bit of a throwback. Good story, semi-memorable characters, challenging gameplay, play at your pace. Varying landscapes, awesome music. Don't fool yourself, at the very least you need to rent this game. If you're smart you'll make it a purchase. I went for the bobblehead.

Does anyone actually think this game has anything to do with Fallout? Its got blue jumpsuits and line drawings so it qualifies? I'm hardly an NMA-er but from what I've seen this has very little to do with Fallout or the golden age of the RPG. It may be a great game in its own right but memories have got to be short if the consensus is that bloom and vats is teh answer to making a fallout inspired game. I suddenly understand why my dad stopped listening to music when the Rolling Stones got old. Seriously? Does anyone actually think this game has anything to do with Fallout?

It's the only thing with an alarm so loud and obnoxious that I MUST go turn it off. Thus far that's the only thing keeping me from going to work unshaven and in the same clothes as the day before.

For the last couple of nights I've started playing at 8PM or so and suddenly its 3AM, I'm dehydrated and ironically my bladder is about to explode. This reminds me of the golden age of RPGs back before the interwebs made us have to interact with other people. I'm working from home today, and self discipline is failing rapidly. Maybe just an hour over lunch. This is one of those games that compresses time.

That's supposed to be the way around "bad" choices. Freakazoid, have you tried the Mentats or other ways to temporarily boost stats? That’s supposed to be the way around “bad” choices.
