One of my favourite games, next to Gothic 2, Risen 1, Elex, Mass Effect, Fallout NV. Every part of the game is carefully crafted and designed, letting you play the game in the way you want, rewarding exploration and pre-mediation.
This is one of the greatest exploration games you can buy. The Skyrim like feeling that you can visit everything you see, no loading screens, go from the planet surface directly to space and then land on the moon or your huge Star Destroyer is like nothing else. A good written story that tingles the SciFi fan is also there to enrich the detailed world. And last the updates that keep on coming and making this game better and better. A must have.
It is a Scifi story. you play it and it fells like reading a book. a good book. I enjoyed it, Felt a bit like Aliens. A bit of Doom 3, Ending hit me a bit hard. Loved it.
what is great: - the open world that seems alive, it has a bit of the same feeling that i had years later playing Skyrim. When i first played it i was blown away by the fact that one could go anywhere on the map. The art design is also appealing and neatly put together. - fun to play, specially as a Vampiress. The story is good, captivating enough. What is not so great: The story towards the end is a bit dull. and the Sacred Underworld Addon is a bit too Fantasy for my taste.
I did not have high expectations of this game, I liked Gothic 2 a lot and enjoyed Risen 1, but this futuristic fallout-ish fantasy story did not fit so well with my PB image. And then I tried it out, and found out I could not let go. The workd is beautiful, even tranquil sometimes, much in contrast to the beasts that roam it and want to kill you with one blow :-). Exploration is rewarding. Game mechanics are good, fighting is good, and the story is captivation. Above all this, it preserves the spirit of PBs games, it is hard in the beginning, and every fight won is an acomplishment. I had a lot of fun with this game.
Picked the game up after finishing Fallout NV and had no big expectations. Boy was I wrong, after 10 hours I can say that the game is a positive surprise, and after going through the Bandit Swamp, Harbor Town and now in the Monastery, it keeps getting better and better. Good game.
This was my first fallout, and I loved every bit of it. The intro is beautiful, the capital wastelands fell like a nuclear wasteland and this game is packed with details. The map is smaller then Skyrims map, but exploring it felt more rewarding. Graphics are a bit outdated, but hey, it is a nuclear wasteland and the bleak green/grey looks actually good and matches the atmosphere. After this game i bought FNV, and i think it was the right order to play them. F03 first for the intro and fallout world, and then FNV for the gem it is, and last F04 for the better graphics.
