Buggy, but still Fallout.

This game has frozen up on me multiple times, many of which i hadn't saved (or AutoSaved even) in the last 10 minutes. It freezes, it has slowdown, the load times get increasingly long if you don't take breaks...but it's still fun.
You can sink a ton of time exploring the wastes and checking out the locales and it's 90% of Fallout's fun for me. The quests, much like FO3 are either fetch quests or "go kill this" quests. Sometimes there's cause for stealth but not so much.
This plays nearly exactly like FO3, which is good, but it's also so similar that it becomes repetitive. The dialog is usually good, but borders on stiff when dealing with the NCR or Cesaer's Legion. Most of all, the main storyline (which has at least 4 distinct ways to end itself as far as i know) is pretty basic...revenge, the obtaining power for yourself (independent), NCR, Cesaer, or Mr House.
The bugs and the similarity to FO3 bring it down a bit but it's still a lot of fun. Explore and conquer...but after uncovering the whole map, you may think "Gee, do i really have to go back to the storyline?"
