Fallout 3! Show your respect!

[The Lurker]

Oh my. The PC version of Fallout 3 looks SO much better. Check out the ant corpse, or the bridge in the distance.

StarcraftManiac, it's the depth and non-linearity that got me in as well. It also has the best story of any RPG I've played since Oblivion and Fable, i.e. I'm making it up as I go.

I do have one qualm with it though. At first, I was pooh-poohing those that said the game was too easy. "Combat is hard!", I decreed, "Try a non-combat character." Well guess what! My non-combat character is now at level 13, has about 2000 in the bank (my filing cabinet), >100 of each ammo. type, ~100 stim paks, armour and replacement armour out the wazoo. The list goes on. Oh, and all of the disadvantages of choosing a non-combat character have been mitigated by level perks along the way. Suffice to say, I've gone from scrounging for ammo to lifestyles of the rich and famous. It's ridiculous. The game gets really easy, really quickly at higher levels.
