I loved Fallout 3, in fact I would say it is probably one of the best games I've played in a long time. Some of my attachment to the game comes from the fact that I loved the first Fallout game on the PC from years ago and probably wasted 200 hours of my life playing it obsessively for six months. I mention this because I spent over 180 hours on Fallout 3 and still left a lot of content unexplored and know that I could have easily spent at least another 100 hours on Fallout 3. I think the massive undertaking of making a game of this scope was why the game suffered from so many small glitches and bugs. That's really all the negativity I can come up with this game and that seems to be the case with a lot of Bethesda Studio games similar to what Skyrim is currently going through.

Aside from the polish this game needs, the story and cast of characters more that made up for the hiccups, which is what I expected from a Fallout game, and I give credit to Bethesda for reviving the Fallout universe after Black Isle closed its doors. The feel of the game, especially in first person, is incredible. Fallout 3 is a shining example of what I look for in an RPG game - great story, lots of loot, lots to explore and the freedom to play in the fashion you want i.e. goody two shoes or bane of all existence and anywhere in between.

Highly recommended.
