Arrow Re: Fallout 3

Gameplay wise it's not a Fallout game like the two previous ones, but that was pretty obvious.

The game so far is fun, well crafted, they put a lot of attention on the details and ambiance. Gameplay is interesting, there are full dialogues with choices and all.

The one thing that's still up in the air is content. I'm not far enough in to know if the game will be long or short, if there's lots of stuff to do, if the game has a good balance of rpg and action etc. I'm still doing the quests in and around the first city but what I've seen so far is great. Oh and I liked the tutorial/prologue in the vault.

The game is well crafted there's no doubt about it. Just don't expect to be playing the old Fallout and you should like it. I think they did an overall good job of recreating the setting but this is a different game.

They did manage to find a good balance between real time and turn based. It's nice to be able to pause the game and order your character to shoot your enemy's flamethrower, and then watching it happen.

Edit: About the bomb; if you're talking about the one in the middle of the first town, the crater is really small. It seem reasonable to me to think it could have been created from something heavy being dropped from a plane or something. It's not a missile, it's a big cartoonish thing, think of a big boulder as far as mass and shape goes.
