Wow, one of the best games i’ve ever played, this game is awesome, i’ve just finished all that I can, meaning the basic game not the one with all the extras, it’s the only thing that stopped me buying it, i’ll wait until I can get the version with all the extra quests.
I did finally manage to get all the trophies for this game and as soon as I get the chance i’ll sync it with the playstation server for all to see.
Ok review time, there isn’t much else they could have done with this game which would have made it better, it really was that good. The main quest again could be completed fairly quickly but with the amount of side quests and some very hard to find quest items and bobbleheads it made for many many more extra hours of game play.
There seemed to be traces of so many other good games in this one, in some cases it was very much like Morrowind and Oblivion with guns yet it was nothing like those two games, when one of my boys first saw Fawkes he said “cool, a better version of Nemesis” I thought that wasn’t a bad description really, Fawkes was pretty cool.
I have to admit there were two bobbleheads I would never have found on my own, one in particular I ended up having to look for the location online, even after finding it I knew I would have never found it on my own, a place called Rocopolis ( or similar ).
The quests in this game aren’t boring either, there always seems to be something new wherever you go, dialogue can play an important part but it’s not a have to, you can be very good and get rewarded for your goodness or you can be downright evil, or of course you can be a bit of both, it works on a good, neutral or bad karma rating.
I think the thing that is really going to draw the playtime out for you is if your like me and decide to go for every trophy in the game, I would say hunting all the trophies gave me an extra 20 hours of playtime at least, I really enjoyed going away from the main quest to explore, the fact that you could get certain beings to hang around with you was cool, I used my extra buddies to carry an awesome amount of stuff when I would have had to go back to my house if i’d have been alone, and a dog too, how cool was that? Get your own dog who can hunt down meds or ammo for you, my next dog I get i’m going to call him “Dogmeat”.
Overall rating i’m giving 10 out of 10, it was so enjoyable to play this game, I can’t wait to pick up the game of the year edition with the extra quests.

Hi all,
I did want to say after playing fallout 3 i’ve found the best way to get all the trophies is to play through at least some of the game a second time.
The first time through, completing all side quests before the main quest I still couldn’t achieve getting all the trophies, I found the hardest two was the speech and the hack trophies, I was forever getting locked out of the computers and didn’t come close to getting enough speech successes.
Second time around I assigned all my points at each level increase to speech and science ( for hacking ) and found it quite easy to get the relevant trophies, plus the second time around I also got the neutral and bad karma trophies which I didn’t get the first time as I was a goody two shoes, that’s not bad because in a world full of great powerful weapons and the V.A.T.S. system it was quite hard not to kill everyone I met, lol.
