Blogspam? The gaming subreddit is simply clamoring for quality content, that’s all, and they know it when they see it. They don’t much care how it gets to them.

Only thing I’m curious about is how the fuck this post managed to get and stay on Reddit’s front page all day yesterday. Most blogs are immediately downvoted for blog spam. D:

I fully intend to finish it and then write another review.

But what difference does that make anyway? In a game like this, most of the enjoyment is not coming from the main quest. (Which is much shorter than the play time I have already spent, let alone the total playtime I will probably spend.) Instead it is coming from the exploration and side quests.

I have seen more than enough of this game to write a review.

I use only 3rd person mode. Besides the fact that I can see more on either side, by using the camera behind the character you can look around walls, or over obstacles.

nice write up. I actually like the combat a great deal and find the game to be pretty challenging. I dont usually have too many extra stimpaks laying around. I think this game is amazing on many levels but the way it brings you into the world is unparalleled imo.

My brother is playing Fallout 3 exclusively in 3rd person mode (well, except for disarming mines). He’s 24, and he’s played and beat Fallout 1 and 2. In my opinion, first person mode is definitely more functional and better-looking than 3rd person, but it’s clearly a to-each-their-own sort of choice.

Also, the soundtrack, while good, is not excellent. The Oblivion OST still get playtime on my iPod, I’m not sure I would even listen to the Fallout ST (or radio station music) outside of the game. Although, it does lend itself in support of the general atmosphere of the game.

Ok, maybe it isn’t unusable. It is a lot less usable than the first person mode, though. Also, the quality of the player character animations is low enough that I find first person mode much more enjoyable. The only time I ever use the third person mode is to check out some sweet new armor I found.
