Fallout 3 Review

Been playing it and I gotta say, like everything from Bethesda, it's a really great game. The graphics are decent, the weapons are amazing, and the story, well, the story needs work. But with all the crap you can do, and all the weapons you can find, it its makes up for it, and then some.
To be honest, I know this board is still new, but I'm a little surprised no one has put anything about Fallout 3 up here, but I suppose I'll do it, and people can add their opinions afterwards.
I played through the main storyline, and I've gotta say, its pretty decent. The ability to do anything you want in games like this never ceases to amaze me. With the Karma system, you can choose whether you will be good, neutral, or evil. This will, in turn, affect a lot of the actions you can perform in the game, as well as affect the main storyline.
With the perk system, there is no limit to what type of play-style you can choose. There are perks for everything. From giving you more health, to allowing you to silently kill people in the sleep. Some perks even give you quests. With the sheriff and Contract Killer perks, you can go to locations where you can give people fingers or ears for money. (fingers and ears are bonuses you get after killing people. with the sheriff perk, you gain a finger when you kill an evil human. With the contract killer perk, you gain an ear when you kill an innocent person). Some perks will also allow you to increase your stats.
The weapons are great. You can use anything from a lead pipe to a missile launcher. On top of that, you can use lasers and plasma weaponry. (just keep your eye on your ammo and weapon condition). There are also weapons that allow you to shoot mini-nukes at you enemies. Great for taking out packs of those obnoxious super mutants.
Okay, on top of the overall game, there is also a crap-ton of DLC available. From Broken Steel to Operation: Anchorage, the possibilities are endless. The DLC not only includes newer major parts to the story, as well as additional quests, but it also includes a massive amount of new weaponry and armor. From the gauss rifle to new sets of power armor, these will allow you to go through the story with ease.
