It contains John Romero's head on a stick.

Finished the game last night. Ending was a bit dissapointing, and almost the same (except few sentences) for every final decision you make.

Overall it was a great game, but ... it actually does -end- after you fnish main quest, unlike Oblivion. You are not allowed to see the new, better, world you helped to build. This is bad.

I have no incentive to walk around anymore (loading previous saved position) when I know the game is "finished".

I spent 100 hours on Oblivion and expansion packs (Shivering Isles was brilliant), but only about 18 hours on this game.

Most of the side quests are as good as the main quest, or even better. You're really missing out if you intentionally ignore 75% of the game's content.

The first quest I did was "Blood Ties" which you get rather easily in Megaton and can be done with a new game. That quest really showed me that Fallout 3 was different from Oblivion because there were all kinds of drastically different ways for you to finish it.

I knew at that point I was going to do every single sidequest in the game.

How come we can't use any of the vehicles? Would make a killer side mission to find parts and repair a vehicle then be able to use it around the map.

Speaking of sideguests, anybody know just how many there are exactly ?

You can count the achievement list for sidequests for an accurate number of "official" sidequests... there are many smaller quests which are unofficial however.

The Fallout wiki would probably be a good source of information in that regard.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if drivable vehicles were in the works by the community already, same as was done for STALKER.

Only real difference I can think of atm is that STALKER had some "complete" models to mod...I can't think of any except the aircraft in Fallout 3.

EDIT: And the motorcycles.

LOL, good point. Battery or cell powered would work.

BTW, non consolized GUI is in excellent condition now at ver 4.

When you shoot them they go up in a nice mushroom cloud. I'd say they have enough nuclear fuel in them to drive them around a bit.
