Fallout 3 is a good game.  It's not exactly Fallout, and I would have
preferred a different license so that an actual turn-based
non-first-person Fallout 3 could have been made, but that's water
under the bridge.

Just a quick question regarding some of the buildings in the Wasteland. In my
roaming I have come across numerous interesting buildings like the large
satellite dishes and the numerous power stations and radio antenna. I have not
come across any quests related to these yet and was ...

Although many probably know I thought I would pass on that Lord of the
Rings Online: Mines of Moria is now live.
Looking forward to it when I get home but I assume there will be much
crashing or inability to logon to the server.

1. Combat is too fast for me without Vats, and stupid with Vats. I quess not
playing FPS games at all really does make it hard to play them when I am
forced to.

Disclaimers: I do not like Oblivion much, but I did finish it, which
means I must have liked it enough to play that far.  I also liked all
the previous Fallouts, and in fact put Fallout 2 as my #1 game of all

Thief, Far Cry, Bioshock, Fallout 3.. the scenario is almost always
the same: you are spotted by an enemy and then you go hide. The enemy

leaves, returning to its post or patrol while also resetting its

I think I've played long enough to say it's not Fallout.  I'd say it's
far less Fallout than the PS2 game Brotherhood of Steel was.  If you
are a 'burning gem of hatred' you won't like it.  If you are expecting
Fallout, don't buy it.  The mechanics are totally different, the

I probably only got about 1/3 of the side quests, but I was max level
playing on normal, and I had long ago gotten sick of scrounging.  I
was a bit disappointed you can't keep playing after you finish.  My
favorite part of the game so far was probably when I found Herald and

I know I can zoom out to 3rd person to look around corners, but to me,
that's just outright cheating.
I wish FO3 had a lean feature so I could lean around corners in first
