its great xD, i havent finished playing it cause i dont get enough time out of the week to play everything i want
theere is NO online BUT the game play itself is at least like 60hrs im sure
theres a ton of side quests, which should be done half the time cause i remember reading that it said you should be like level 7/8 by the time you continue on with main story
kinda cause some monsters are freakin hard, OH and uh you can change the difficulty during game play,save often, and the harder you make it the more exp the monsters give out, but of course they are harder, most of the monsters are pretty smart too
but back to game play its a very nice first person shooter, theres a few things in there that i am going to descrive, like you can do good or bad deeds, and that will get you positive or negative karma. 2 characters you can have as npc allys for being evil, 2 for being good, and 2 for being neutral. only 1 side ally at a time, and they are like a nice 2nd set of carrying capacity, you can also get a pet aclled dogmeat that is like a 3rd party member almost, but if they die, they are dead for good.
um i could so go on xD but its totally worth buying, its like a godly twist of a 1st person shooter and rpg, for me
most things say that it kinda has a uh.. oblivian feel to it but that can be a good or bad thing, EVERYONE has voice overs, except your character but you make your own answers half the time when you talk to people you dont have to ask them certain things but if you want to know its kinda nice, most of the time its fairly interesting, and the whole base idea of whats happening is nicely put in the main story line so you kinda know why your doing what your doing
uh i'd read up on like stats and skills on like gamefaqs.com before you make your first char so you can make it the way you want to the first time, one persons review i read said that it kinda makes you want to use guns, instead of melee weapons -i kinda agree but disagree- because guns kill pretty well and you dont have to tank the damage... but if i make dogmeat tank damage-he auto heals after no enemies are around most of the time (i think it might be cause he is eating them?! o.o? when he attacks) but yeah so then i just beat them down with my baseball bat xD and im using a sucky weapon still with a HORRID melee skill lol.. im just trying to save ammo cause its really a pain, also money is a pain, oh and yeah xD i think healing is kinda a pain sometimes, cause if you have to heal yourself during a fight cause its so hard -like no beds around to sleep in for an hour- its like omg im wasting so many health items so xD it really kinda requires some strategy, as you play the game it also tells you helpful stuff like something i read one time when it was on its loading screen was -something like- "If you get a sneak attack on an enemie, while hidden, it will always be a critical hit" and you can like incapacitate limbs.. lol normally if they are firing a gun making one of their firing arms no longer technically useable they drop their gun, and will have to pick it up again ;o unless they have another i think it might also decrease accracy, its kinda funny when i had that happen to my head, the screen would get blury sometimes xD indicating hes kinda like guh
lol sorry this is so long but xD since you asked :o
