Great game for being an open world rpg with shooter elements added into it. In comparison to fallout 3 the armor system now actually has components to it that matter, enemies are much more versatile than before, and the story is well versed with different options on how you want to go through/end it. Obsidian overall did well with a budget time of a year from Bethesda. However with all this in mind, there are a some mods that are recommended to fix some of the bugs/mistakes left behind. Recommended: NOTE: FOMM (Fallout Mod Manager recommended for installing most if not all mods) Yukichigai Unofficial Patch - YUP - fixes bugs and errors that wern't already addressed in the final update. Unofficial Patch Plus - The same as above however it includes more bugfixes that couldn't be added to YUP's mod because of the no plugin limitation. Vanilla UI Plus - Fixes some of the bugs in the UI that weren't already fixed; While also adding expanding the UI for a more PC friendly view. New Vegas Stutter Remover - Fixes some of the stuttering that can/could be noticed ingame as well as feel smoother or perform better. Jsawyer mod or Jsawyer Ultimate Edition (for a more modern/updated version) - Amps up the difficulty without making enemies bullet sponges, so consider if you want a more fallout experience than vanilla. Optional: Manual Reload v2 - Stops guns from magically reloading if you reequip or switch to another weapon and go back to the original one. Clarity - Removes the orange tint added throughout the entire game, including dlc Uncut Wasteland - If you want to re-add some of the stuff cut from the original games production due to console limitations/budget constraints

very repetitive and a lot of driving
There isn't much improvement to this title compared to the older one other than including the entire dlc pack and some graphical changes. However with that in mind for some reason, the developers thought that it would be a good idea to mess with the lightning system. How did they mess with it exactly well they decided to add a shit ton of post-processing, bloom, glare, lens flares, etc.. This woldn't be to bad if it didn't flash in my face as well as ruin the atmosphere of the game.
The games good, but at the same time I can't help but look at many of the different changes they made in this game. For one they managed to fuck with the lightning system up to retarded levels, where your blinded by all the bloom, hdr, post-processing, etc.. If not lightning they also seem to have done changes to the atmosphere of the game. In the original there were small details that made a feeling to the game. Now its all been removed for no apparent reason.
Its good to see the Quake series being introduced to GOG as a simple package that you can install with ease. Though one thing that could be added to this game is the DirectQ or quakespasm engine. One problem I did see in this game is the missing sound track, but regardless the game is still great.
