i've tried and tired to get into fallout.. it's difficult. I'm an explorer in games, it takes me DAYS to move on from an area, i have to turn explore every nook and cranny. by the time i get to a quest, i'm tired and just stop. I watch videos of others playing and i'm like OMG how did you not turn under the stairs to check there, or why did you not go back and explore the other path.. how can you move on without checking that crate/box/desk/cabinet etc.....
Maybe it's a gamers version of OCD, but when games this big are released, i'm so excited, then i get them and i spend weeks in the first area and end up with crap i prolly won't need anyway. Hell I'm still in the first area of TW3 lol you know how many plants there are!
