Yep than you may or may not like this. If you didn't like Oblivion than this isn't a game for you. Strange though that you liked Mass Effect so much. That is pretty much the same style of play.
Hey all, if you could, I just want to clarify a couple of game points that frustrated me about my inital game time with Fallout 3 last night, but I do forget this is a 'turn based RPG'
Fighting: I started shooting by just pointing my gun and firing - which lead to me using an entire clip to drop one dude THEN I remembered about the VAULTS way - which was much better....I would shoot, then quickly push the button to do it again - sometimes I could, sometimes not. Initially I thought it was do to running out of ammo.
As of now, I assume that when you use VAULTS, you have to allow the other character the opportunity to attack first, before you do it twice? In other words, I cannot use Vaults to fire off two shots in a row? (I am not sure on this still)
What is the easiest way to build up your skills? I am a level 2 character after 4-5 hours of game time.....and wanted to do the side mission to fix the leaking water pipes, but cannot yet.....I realize I can come back to this later, but is fighting the only way to build up those skill points?
Thanks, all.
I must admit I am not a RPG kinda guy, so I am still on a strong learning curve with Fallout 3 thus far. Its cool, but a bit frustrating as of the moment.

But it had a fairly linear story with missions and such to complete. Not to mention it was one of the best sci-fi stories and universes ever created.

Not bad at all.

From what I can tell, talking to people and taking on new missions also increased your XP and I think when I spoke to Gob at the bar in Megaton it gave me good karma and some XP.

I didn't notice the load times at all.

thanks fellas. those really bothered me in Oblivion and urked me in Mass Effect.
That's why they make different types of games.
I agree. I apologize if I was being a jerk.
Thats the only thing I'm afraid of with this game it will be so open I'll never finish. Thats what killed Oblivion for me.

You weren't being a jerk at all. As for Oblivion I think it took me a year and a half to get through and get almost all of the acheivments. I would play it hard for a month or two and then take a break. I always found myself going back to it though.

It's funny, cause i'm kinda half and half when it comes to games. Sometimes, I like one you can just run and gun through (be it a shooter, or sports game) and sometimes, I like one that I have the option of coming back to over and over again, playing for a while to complete it. Really depends on my schedule though.

Yep it depends on my mood as well. Sometimes I just want to blow ^^^^ up! Other times I want to explore.
I figure this will take me a while as Fable might as well with everything I still have to play. Thats fine though as it gives me something too when I have no new games coming.

Well I made it to the radio station - damn that Behemoth was insane. 
I think this has a pretty linear story line if you want to stick to the main quests - or you can get yourself submersed for countless hours with side quests.......however, I think if one were to stick only with the main quests they would have a pretty hard time as it is becoming necessary to have a lot of experience points to get good skills.
I liked Fable 2 A LOT - but I also thought it was too easy. Once you get a really good sword and some high powered spells - you can kill just about anything without even getting any damage. This game is quite a bit more of a challenge. I can't tell you how many times I went into a building with a room full of raiders and got my ass handed to me. You really need to have some good strategy and stealth can be your friend. I like this game because I can't just run through it like I did with Fable.

You better be prepared to share! Maybe I should have put this on my B-day list for my own copy?!? Nah, you'll be distracted by GOW2 in a week and I'll be able to steal it away! MWAHAHAHAHA!
Ok, cool thanks for the information
