So my question is this... Will I like this game? Help me out here...

Some things to consider about my tastes:

-I hated the 2 hours i spent playing oblivion and this comes from same developer if im not mistaking

Same developer, but far more quality in Fallout 3. Although there are similar concepts in both Oblivion and Fallout 3, Fallout 3 is superior in virtually every way (and this comes from a guy that played 250hrs of Oblivion).

-I dont do turn based combat that most RPGs require, no thanks.

Fallout 3 can be played entirely turn based, entirely real time, or in the middle. I assure you that you'll LOVE their take on turn-based combat. There's nothing better than launching a missle at an enemy, and watch it detonate in slo-mo, ripping off body parts.

-Im looking for a great story and engaging gameplay

Fallout 3 has both. It's just below Mass Effect in terms of awesome storytelling and engaging gameplay. Mass Effect is the closest thing I can compare Fallout 3 to, since ME was my GOTY RPG of 2007, and Fallout 3 is just as revolutionary.

-Not looking for a game where i have to do stupid tasks to level up...i cant stand that

Very little XP comes from quest. Killing enemies is the fastest way to level up. Virtually everything gives you XP - selling specific items, beating quests, using skills (hacking, lockpicking, speech), and of course, killing baddies.

-Hoping to finish a game in 20-30 hours...anything longer and I don't think I will keep on playing

Fallout 3 can be beaten entirely dependant on what you want it to be. The main quest takes around 15hrs or so if you did it, and almost only it. Side quests are beefy and lightyears ahead of both Mass Effect and Oblivion. Side quests in Fallout 3 are just as long, and engaging as the main story.

Thanks for your help
