Yeah, i have held out on this for a while, i liked the original fallouts, they were quirky and... lol, original. From all that i have read/seen it seems like i would align with the long/drawn out/boring crowd.. Graphics in no way make a game for me, so they aren't really ever considered into overall rating, most of the time. For the oblivion engine, i feel like there just needs to be tons and tons of stuff packed into every bit of the map, but from what i understand... it literally is a wasteland. For how Fallout is suppose to be tied in with this engine/mechanics i feel like the formula should have been a little different. I mean, this is just my opinion, i haven't actually played the game, i've just poored over articles and video, as i have been weary and i guess glad i haven't bought it.
