I like it, despite all its flaws and its limited size; in my opinion its immersive, challenging, and most of all fun. if you can look past the god-awful loading times and linearity at the beginning its a step up from FO3, and for the record FO3 was the reason I ended up buying an Xbox, played it at a friends house and decided "dude I want more Wasteland" so went out and made the purchase. But like everything that isn't perfect there are let-downs, three of which I can think of. 1.) The Freeside map design/the fast travel system to some places makes me wonder wtf Bethesda was thinking, my greatest peeve was that you fast travel to the Crimson Caravan outside the fucking camp and then have to load to get in..-_-..2.)The quests sometimes depend on skills to advance (speech, barter, medicine etc...) now Im fine with that as long as there are options to complete them by just punching or shooting things without pissing off people in game, unless that's the whole point (ie convincing Cass to sell her business, w/o the skills it cannot be completed) maybe its just me, but either the quests shouldn't be startable without the certain skills or a "just complete the damned quest" option should be included. 3.) Last, some enemies are ridiculously powerful, yeah the Cazadore complaint again but more then just that, the scorpions hunt in packs at times and are too close to starting area to avoid, as well as the Deathclaws...so yeah, the shoe-horning the game into either going with the Powder Gangers or the NCR right at the beginning just to jumpstart the story kinda pissed me off. Unlike Megaton where really the only thing you HAVE to do is either help Moriarty, pay him off, or steal his password to get the info to go to GNR...thats its, one quest or action and you're on your way, you dont have to save the town or nuke it at all if you wish, sure gets you a safehouse but really so what? Its like the game wants you to htfu and go explore where FNV wants to present itself and explain the situation like you're a retard, which frankly what more should you need? You had a package, you got your brains blown out but popped a stimpack and you're aok, go find asshole that shot you..... Overall FNV is fun and I really like it but still even I expected some better fine tuning from Bethesda
