hahaha, akvod i also bought fallout 3 because of the outage.
but i have to say that you really didnt play fallout 3 to the fullest. you should really play it another time but this time ignore the main story line and go to explore more often. there are tons of things to do like,exploring the vaults(i think there are more than 8 and each is unique)collecting weapons scematics and finding all the special weapons,and also there are lots of bandit camps (did you go to evergreen mills?) also in fallout 3 the sneaking is just as good in oblivion and even better but you have to create a sneaking only character to do well. oh and dont forget about the DLC'S i am going to get broken steel and point look out once the service is online.
fallout 3 is a better oblivion with more things to do,interesting setting and GUNS.

Meh, but the thing is that so much of the game feels a bit repetitive and... useless.
For example, so many of the perks are just usless. Bloody mess is useless, I don't need the caps from selling fingers/ears, etc. The dungeons, like Oblivion, get old. They all look the same. However, whereas Oblivion had bigger and more spacious dungeons, which allowed for more unique stealthing, Fallout 3's dungeons just had the same tunnels and hallways.
The combat itself isn't really that fun. My strategy really just consists of kiting with long range weapons, then hiding behind cover, and switching to my combat shotgun to VATs the enemy in the head.
Exploring is extremely tedious with the lack of a mount. If there was a faster way of getting through miles of empty wasteland, then I would be more inclined to explore.
The game was awesome when it was fresh, but by the end of it, it doesn't have the replay value (literallly too, with the ending) Oblivion had.
