Fallout 3 ,will you buy it?

[Chemical]

I am glad that I tried the game before buying it. It suffers from severe memory leak problems that I am waiting for Bethesda to fix. The game starts out running at a perfectly smooth FPS but as I keep using VATS it starts to slow down more and more until it turns into a slideshow and then crashes. I checked the memory that the game takes up and I confirmed that it rises significantly over time. (It went from 600MB to 1GB with 20-30 minutes)

I checked several forums and there seem to be plenty of people who are suffering from the same exact problem. I think it has mostly to do with Vista 64 bit and ATI cards but I cant really change anything about that. I wonder if I can force the game to run at 32 bit and see if that fixes the problem?

Anyways, I like the game so far. Gorgeous graphics, great atmosphere. Definitely not a FPS, if you try playing it like an FPS you will find yourself dead. It is similar to Mass Effect in terms of your skills affecting your accuracy. Right now I am in a process of killing random monsters to gain levels, so I can get my utility skills in order. The perks you should get for your first few levels should be the ones that enhance exp gain and number of skills gained. Skills are huge in this game. Unlike fallout 1 and 2 you MUST have a certain skill level to get through everything. In older games, you succeed eventually with the power of quick save.
