I think the ending was sad in two ways (edited due to end of game spoilers - BSD)

but overall it was a great game, the AI wasnt perfect (and annoying sometimes) and I hate those kids in lamplight cavern.

btw. i wonder if uncle joe has to do with a quest or something?

I’m with Olen on the repair system. There is something very satisfying about scavenging the parts needed to keep your weapons in working order. And, while I can appreciate the streamlined simplicity of the leveling system, something about the micromanagement of skills in Oblivion and Morrowind fits the OCD that manifests within me occasionally. The perks are an inspired addition that makes creating new characters fun and keeps the game from becoming stale IMO.

I also love the little things that add ambiance to the wasteland. Chief among these is Galaxy News Radio (though I agree with Box that Three Dog needs more tunes). How cool is it to come back to Megaton at twilight with Dogmeat at your side and the Ink Spots in your ears?

V.A.T.S for me is a double edged sword. Some of the cinematics are great and pausing the game to plan your moves tactically never seems to get old. But COME ON!! Why is it that one can decapitate and sever limbs regardless of the weapon being used? I should not be able to take a raider’s arm off with a pair of brass knuckles. And a single shot from a hunting rifle at fifty meters should not be sufficient to remove a Super Mutant’s head from his shoulders!

But even that is tolerable compared to my only real issue with the game. That is the character of the father, James. I don’t mind his dialogue or his inexplicable actions that set the story in motion. I don’t even mind Liam Neeson’s voice coming from my African-American version of him. What beefs my Wellington is that they didn’t bother to change the character model. They just darkened his skin and tweaked his hair a touch. Even his eyes are the same color! I know they paid Neeson a lot of money for his voice work so, by all means, keep that. But, honestly, would it have been so hard to create four different versions of James for use based upon the players preferred racial make-up?

I know, small potatoes. But it does irritate.
