Fallout 3 Early Impressions
I was lucky enough to find a copy of Fallout 3 available at my local Blockbuster (to buy), so I obviously jumped at the opportunity. Coming from Bethesda I was expected a great free-roam RPG along the lines of Oblivion. While the games have their few similarities, it's Fallout 3's game play that wishes I was still playing it right now. I'll try not to give any of the story (which is great and has some merit to think about our current global situation). The usual tutorial: "Look over here", "move here", "shoot this", "ok your good, go save the world" aspect is replaced by learning through different points in your life while living in an underground bomb shelter. For example, learing how to walk as a toddler is where you are told the (obvious) way to walk in the game. I thought this was a nice touch.When you first go out to the post nuclear war "Wasteland" its, strange to say, great to look at. Right now I'm going around interacting with the strange world, which is as fun as anything. Just seeing a person in the distance is exciting in this game. The action controls may remind you of Oblivion, but I don't find that a bad thing. I guess I'll go keep playing.
By the way, if you can't already tell, I highly recomend this game.
:D

I am glad that talking is still a pretty good way to make it through most situations. I just completed the quests involving Arefu, the Family, and Ian without having to even fire my gun.
