I read this post the other night and almost replied (but didn't), and then I felt like replying today (as I kept thinking about it) and I see some people share my thoughts on this too.
I've been playing this game non-stop since the day it came out and I've already logged almost 60 hours of gameplay into it and I've only done a few "dad" type missions.
I haven't even been on Xbox Live for a solid week or really watched TV, i've just been playing this game.
:-B
I haven't read any spoilers or walkthrough/guides so I'm not sure where the main quest takes the game/you.
Daddy-o has been waiting for me at Rivet City and I'm avoiding going back there to talk/meet so I can continue exploring and going on adventures.
I've been exploring and finding all of the cool people, places, and situations that you'll find throughout this wonderful (yet destroyed) world.
Games like this are few and far between and anytime a company takes the time and makes the effort to produce something this top-shelf everyone should stop and take notice. Thank you Bethesda!
It's not as epic as Oblivion, but you have to admit it's a VERY awesome game.
I think it's better than Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, and Halo 3 (single player) any day.
I feel it should get a perfect 10 (even though it's not a perfect game), but since I know how some of you have been complaining about glitches or wacky save spots (you know, you can save at anytime) it surely deserves a 9.5 or 4 1/2 stars.
Bravo!
Now bring on the expansions and DLC for this game!
