There are some elements of Fallout that are frustrating from a modern perspective, mostly relating to combat, and there are features missing that effectively force you into certain endings. The design takes some getting used to as well. Nevertheless, this is, on balance, probably one of the most entertaining games I have played in years. The depth of customization, and viable playstyles is almost unmatched, and there are few things more enjoyable than exploring a large, new area for the first time.
