I installed fallout three today, and played it for a while.
Here's my verdict
While the game storyline, engine and mechanics are pretty good IMHO, it's just too grim for my taste !
And the fact that makes it so grim is, looking at the way things are going at the moment, that kind of a future is a very probable possibility.
I'm a rather optimistic sort of a person, and I try to look at the positive side of things. I guess it's a result of the same that I just couldn't take all the "negative feel" that the game has in general...
If you don't want to play future apocolyptic games, don't play anything that is set in or past the year 2030.
Also, Fallout 3 <3.
[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.
[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.
[17:40:48] Eagle (Junes): Tom should be slapped with a spoon.
[11:32:18] Warspite: Thank you for being so awesome Tom. <3
[18:17:36] Metano: I love you tomtom
[20:06:24] Warspite: I will seriously give you epic head.

Fallout 3 needs to be modded like crazy to be fun. The Real-Time Settler mod is fun. I've got a sprawling Metropolis built on top of the Mercenary HQ (After killing everybody inside it) and a few other mods.
It gets dry after a while, though. I actually haven't touched it in about a month. It's not quite FPS, and not quite RTS. I have a few 'realism' mods to make leveling harder.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? It's fallout 3 so it's not like you were blindsided about the games environment. You knew what you were getting into & if you didn't, you could have simply by reading the back of the box.
Oh, & also: you'll notice as time goes on that the optimistic portion of you that prefers to look at the positive side of things will naturally diminish the longer you live, so put the game away for now & try playing it again a handful of years from now & you'd probably like it better then.
New Vegas looks like fun. I might get it when it goes on Newegg. Did you know they sell Mass Effect 2 for about $30 on Newegg, while it's still $50 on Steam? I save so much money there. @_@

There's going to be a Hardcore Mode? Oh, my, I'll have to try this.
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.
www.fallout3nexus.com Just search all files, set endorsements and "desc". You'll get the best mods in the first ten pages. Fallout Wanderers Edition (FWE), MMM (Martigen's Mutant Mod) and some smaller mods.
