Fallout 3

I just started playing this game. Its best described as "massive". I'm about 20 hours into it and I still feel like I have just begun the game.

The walk-though book makes it all the more interesting. Otherwise you miss all kinds of interesting side quests and other things that make the game fun.

My casual gamer phase may be ending ...

Time to go graphics's card shopping as soon as the budget permits.

yeah it feels like an MMORPG at times with so many random things to do within the world...The Fallout series just keeps getting better. Do any post apocalypse mmo's exist?...I know about Anarchy Online but I think that is just future sci fi.

I just reached level 20 on the PS3 version, which I think is the cap until new DLC is released. This game is very addicting, it's hard to put down the controller. I highly recommend it to anyone who liked Oblivion, I haven't played the other Fallout games though. In Fallout 3, the characters you run across seem more polished and have more personality than in Oblivion, and I liked the main quest a lot better, it seemed shorter but was more involving. The quests are good, with lots of variety and not as much fetch-and-carry stuff, and there's enough locations to explore that it would take a considerable amount of time to go through them all. The only gripes I have are, just like Oblivion, the game would occasionally freeze during saving/loading, and there are many places where you can get stuck between objects if you aren't careful, both of which can be frustrating at times. But overall it's a great play-at-your-own-pace type of game.

I never experienced those problems with the PC version. No other problems either.

Thumbs up beating the game with bad Karma?

Hey all, I just played this game last night. I've actually beat it previously, but I was hoping someone would know where to look for how to beat the game with bad Karma?

Anyways, the game is superb, I like it a lot. I really like all the side missions and gameplay.

I just started playing the game and so far I like it, the only thing I find myself doing is turning evil on the good guys.
