A true sequel, expanding on the lore by making weapons like the powerfist more iconic with a real design instead of just the stock medieval gauntlet from 2. It's got a compelling main story and sets the post apocalyptic atmosphere better than any other in the series. A great game and it finally works on pc without a hassle.
Overall it's decent so far. I only found one configuration in character creation that I liked. It's about as difficult as making a character in fallout 3 or new vegas. There's no pale skin tones, most of them are darker, and there's only two long hair options for men and they're both pretty bad. In fact one is probably a female option they're sharing. Also the lack of dual wielding is really glaring, because all the skill trees for pistols show two guns. I'm sure they'll improve on this stuff later. The story is also the best I've played in a while. On par with Mass effect 2 or Fallout 4 Gameplay is decent but death is a little random and there's no quickload and no ability to rebind dodge from double tapping.
