In fairness, I'll start off my comment with the following: I hated Fallout 1 & 2. Found them utterly boring, could not play them to save my life. Got nearly to the end of Fallout 1 and just gave up. Wasteland was somehow more fun for me than those, probably due to that awesome paragraph book, and I finished that sucker.With that out of the way, Fallout 3 was easily my favorite game last year. The production values were great, the graphics were solid, it's easily moddable, the voice acting was well done, it's chock full of incredible detail, the story is engaging, and for me it was fun to play. Still is fun to play, in fact. I've been playing for months and still have yet to see everything I wanted to see or even finished the main storyline because I like trying it out different ways, putting in new challenges to the gameplay.As mentioned by previous commentors you're definitely backed in your dislike of the game by Fallout 1 & 2 purists: it's not a sequel to those games, and sometimes breaks canon.But I hated those games. If it really was Fallout 3 and made by some grandchild of Black Isle, I wouldn't buy it. Not my thing.As a sidenote, the Fallout 1 & 2 fans need to learn to embrace change. Pretend it says 'Wasteland 2' on the box, and maybe you'll feel better.
