Because I'm a huge fan of the original Fallout (played through them 10x), I really wanted to like this game. I mean, Fallout-like + steam punk... how can this be wrong? Still could not bring myself to like it. The pacing is really slow, there is no "hook" that makes me want to continue playing. The environments are boring and it doesn't "feel" steam punk Victorian so much. In Fallouts, you had constant reminders you were in a post-apocalyptic setup, but not as much here. The fights are also either really hard or really easy. It did not feel rewarding to complete quests. After ~12hrs of play, I got so bored I stopped playing for a few weeks. Then tried again for a few hours, and still got bored. Then I cheated to make my avatar feel cooler, but that excitement didn't last either. So I tried... but didn't like it. Anyway, for the price it is retailed at GOG, I would give it a shoot anyway (who knows, maybe you'll like it), but don't get your hopes up. This machine isn't as well oiled as Fallout 1&2.
