This game can't get here fast enough.

I had already planned on buying the game due to screenshots like the one above and articles on the game but it wasn't until after watching the gameplay demo videos that I official became stoked for its release.

Are you telling me you haven't played Fallout, Fallout 2 or Fallout Tactics? Because anyone who has would probably buy anything with the name "Fallout" on it sight unseen. If they sold Fallout-brand feminine hygiene products, I'd get a crate.

I'm trying to squeeze in some of the original Fallout. I find it less immersive than what 3 looks like it will be due to technology limitations. I'm also finding that I'm so weak at the beginning of the game that I get my ass kicked by everything save rats.

That was the worst part of the game for me -- I wanted to play a fast talking, high intelligence type of player but couldn't get past the rats at the beginning of the game. Only my dumb brute type character could kill those things.

NEEEEERRRRRRRDDDD!!

Yeah, you need a balance. But intelligence really helps in the middle part of the game. And save often.

Nope never played any of the previous Fallouts. I've only recently started to get into western RPGs.

Dude, didn't Stuart Little in New Reno teach you anything. Stick and move. Rats can only move four hexes before they can't attack.


I'm on the fence with F3. I don't like FPSs, and actually don't care for first-person perspective anyway. So I think I'll wait a while and see what the reviews are like first.
