Expansive Awesomeness

Fallout 3 is fantastic.

It's sucked me in, and just keeps delivering the post-apocalyptic munchies I crave. The world may be smaller than Bethesda's Oblivion, but it feels so dense.

I've wandered around only a fraction of the Capital Wasteland so far, but I've seen places and delved into reaches friends who are further along have not been. It's so fun to see all of the reactions people have, the meandering ruins of downtown D.C., and the oodles of ultraviolent kills.

One place in particular was extremely fascinating because it's been like no other part thus far: Vault 106. If you haven't been there, it's tucked away about halfway between Megaton and Arefu. No spoilers, but it's the creepiest I've seen in this game thus far. Maybe playing through most of it past 2am didn't help with all the lights off...

It feels like a naturally evolving part of the Fallout franchise. It feels right, and I'm not even halfway through. Just biding my time until I blow up Megaton too...what a glorious site that will be.
