Bethesda does not have the reputation of releasing finely polished games. Fallout 3 is likely to change that. The game, is not bug-free. There are still collision, pathfinding and lighting problems but they are not too numerous.

Thus, the fear that Fallout 3 could be a post-apocalyptic Oblivion is totally gone. A few hours with the game will be enough for Fallout veterans to get their habits back and be able to walk with confidence through the game. New players will not feel totally lost either because references to the previous games are rather scarce and discrete. If most changes brought to the series are technical, the spirit is still there, sort of. Indeed, it's a shame that this episode is so serious.

It has lost, it seems, a good deal of the humour and even irony that was part of the series. Cinematographic references or completely twisted conversations with NPCs are gone. Aside from this, Fallout 3 is an excellent RPG and a good Fallout. The score is rather different but the music stays the same.

Mal sehen, ob ich gut geschätzt habe. :>

In Fallout 3 I get most things served to me instantly. Bethesda has tried to squeeze in as much as they can into as little as possible, and the result is something of an anticlimax.

One second I'm running into a nest of radscorpions, while 30 meters away there's a peaceful small town. Around the corner a band of slavers trod around and just beyond the hills raiders have set up a camp. It is compressed, maximized and anonymized all at once.

And it is this feling of getting the world shoved in your face that is the single worst weakness of Fallout 3. And dawns on me that it is the endless horizons I miss. To wander out into the unknown and feel that stir when something happens on the world map, to see the hours, days and weeks tick away on the counter.
