I finally gave in and gave Fallout 3 a try and I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed. Some parts still leave something to be desired when you've played 1 and 2 like the much higher dialogue quality from the originals and the painful black comedy elements but for the most part this game delivers. Many side quests to choose from like in the first two and a few nice new elements as well like the advanced npc AI and that immerse experience that only a 1st person 3d game can produce. All in all, I don't hate Bethesda as much now as I did in the pre-developing stages..
