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 had a lot of fun with Fallout 3. It's a pretty-close-to-ideal distillation of the modern Bethesda formula (I guess Skyrim would be the ideal). Basically, you're presented with a wide-open world where you could go anywhere and do anything. That's probably the best way to approach the game, really: as a sandbox. And with mods, the fun is potentially limitless.

The Capital Wasteland is visually quite striking. I will admit, however, that I didn't find it as compelling a location as, say, the Mojave Wasteland. The experience in Fallout 3 is much more centered around the player: you're the star, and the world revolves around you. New Vegas, on the other hand, is more centered around the setting. There are bigger players than you, and you're all part of an even bigger system that you can change but never quite escape. I personally prefer this, but that's just my opinion.

What's more important is that Fallout 3 demonstrated the viability of the franchise. I played the very first game in high school, and the second game in college. In both cases, it was fairly difficult to find other people who knew about the game. Now, you can buy Fallout merchandise at mainstream clothes stores, which is not something teenage me would have ever imagined. Plus, New Vegas wouldn't exist without 3, so there's that, too.
