So I finally got around to playing Fallout 3 after nearly a week of Assassin's Creed 2. And let's just say, I love it! From the very first video to the moment you exit the Vault, I can feel the atmosphere and tension leaping off the screen. Such a well-crafted story line so far, and a very believable environment. Man I so badly want a capture card so I can do some videos of stuff!  WARNING, spoilers may follow, but only for the beginning of the game.
 
I've just reached Megaton (or is it Megatron?), but I'd spent about 2 hours playing the game before that; quite a fair time in the Vault, and then a bit in the wasteland exploring the area between the Vault and the city. The whole setting up your profile through child birth was quite well done, although every character face I tried to create looked butt ugly. Maybe people in the future look gross. The whole S.P.E.C.I.A.L. book thing cracked me up - and the whole question 10 on the G.O.A.T. test. Funny how a baby can reach a truck toy that only an adult could reach though...  
 
It sucks how I had to kill the overseer. Well I guess I didn't HAAVE to kill him, but he was screaming for guards and then he reached for a baton. Man, I had no choice! And now the girl I love is all pissy at me and everything just because I did a small thing like club her father to death! Geesh! So thrust out of the Vault with nowhere to go. It was night time when I left and I kid you not, I didn't want to go out there! It was so dark and scary and I knew there was probably gonna be something nasty waiting for me. 
 
So I finally got the courage to go out and I was happily creeping along. And then I hear this strange scuttling. It gets closer and closer. AND THEN SOMETHING F**KING BITES ME! This mole-rat thingymajigy totally bites me on the ass out of NOWHERE and I kid you not, it's the biggest fright I've ever gotten in a video game! The nearby school had the same effect with bloody cannibal raiders shooting me up just when I was happy to be inside! Got outta there quickly! Then a giant ant started scuttling towards me, but that wasn't as scary. I'm loving the V.A.T.S. system though! Heads being decapitated with bullets? SOLD. 
 
So yeah, in the town nice and safe now, but that's where I left it for the moment. I know I really like the game now, so I'm going to try out Red Dead Redemption in case it's actually really terrible. So yes, very interesting and cool game.

If you've never played Fallout 3 before, you're in for a treat! :)

I recommend visiting the hollow rock behind Megaton ;)

" @Tennmuerti: Erm, okaay... Looks like someone has issues with the game... 1) Every game has plot holes and how would YOU know how many holes are in a gang bang porno flick? 2) 2-3 sentences? Obviously you didn't pay attention in the game because she's there when you're a baby, a 10 year old, a 16 year old and then when you save her from her dad as a 19 year old! I myself don't love her, but you get immersed in the game and assume there are some feelings between your character and her. 3) Blow it up? Now I know what kind of gamer you are... Those people are good people and gave me a home to stay in. 
 
@sofacitysweetheart: Will do. : ) "

" @Tennmuerti: I don't feed trolls. And when trolls don't get fed, they whimper away and die in a hole before being cannibalized by other hungry trolls. :D "

It does indeed rock. You have a ton of content ahead of you if you opted for the GOTY edition of the game, and even if you didn't, there's still a lot of stuff to do in that game.

" @SpawnMan: I'm not negative about the game's realism but about it being inconsistent and illogical even within it's own fiction to the point of breaking immersion constantly tima and time again and making you go "WTF!?" especially since the previous games in the franchise managed to mostly avoid this problem. As well as the story and dialogue making you go /facepalm every time another piece of the plot is revealed or an NPC opens their mouth. "
