As many other reviewers have said, if you liked Fallout 1 & 2 (and, in terms of the same spirit, Fallout 3 and New Vegas), you will love this game. That said, my particulars: To quote another review, by mudpie210, "At only 15 bucks this price is a steal for the amount of game that is provided by the developers." I have not completed the game yet (admittedly, I play slowly, intentionally), but I keep expecting it to end, yet I find more and more to experience. I feel I underpaid for this game (which I also why I just bought the new DLC sight unseen). Pros: + love the characters, love the dialogue, love the humor and meta talk + without a karma (or karma-type) system, it's much more on the player, and perhaps more meaningful, to truly role-play the game... you largely have to maintain your own conscience + graphics are, for this genre/style, remarkably good, and (personal thing) don't require a dedicated gaming rig to see pretty things; if you have a general purpose system like mine, a Lenovo e470, you won't be disappointed + (personal preference) while there is a crafting element, you don't have to use it if you don't want to (I'm not into craft-driven games). If you like crafting, it's here. If you don't, you can ignore it. Cons: - I find myself saving after every encounter, because crashes can be somewhat frequent at some points (until suddenly they don't) And now, ***spoiler alert*** This is mostly for the devs... I may have come to it later than intended, don't know, but after liberating a certain town of certain mutant creatures, and coming back to find it becoming populated by people I had met on previous sojourns, well, that was the best gaming moment I have had in years. It took me completely by surprise. I enjoyed the game until that point... but at that point, I found myself talking at my computer, saying, "just, wow, this is perfect."
