Just won an acution for ot on EBay. Got a couple questions:

Is there an alignment system?

Is the game long?

Are there many sidequests?

Yes.

Yes.

And, yes.

:)

I concur with the above poster

Game is very short, however has alot of replayability.

Huh? Yeah, if you have played it a dozen times and know exactly where to go to finish everything, but playing the first few times will certainly take you a while to finish this game. Unless you play with a speedrun walkthrough

Agreed. Granted, it's the "shortest" of the series, but it'll still be able to squeeze a couple of days or weeks out of you (maybe months if this is your first time playing an ISO/TB game )

Indeed. In fact, when I played Fallout I only found out how and where to find the water chip in my third playthrough, I could never figure it out in time. Still, I was a very inexperienced gamer, my first RPG, my first game with indepth english conversation (not my native language) and I was 13 years old, so it can take a while under some circumstances.

Well, maybe if you power-game your way through it but Fallout was not designed to be played that way. It was designed for people with patience and attention to detail.

Honestly, Fallout 1 was a game I finished in less then 2 days. But it was pure awesomeness the entire way through, and I missed alot of things. The game has alot to offer, but if you follow the main questline without heavy divergence then the game can be finished fairly rapidly.

Hell, if you power-game it you can knock it over in under 6 or so hours with pretty much every area finished.

i saw a speed run that only took about 15 minutes.

Well, a speed run is a speed run. You have to know the game extensively to pull it off.

Well if you play FO1 "correctly", the game can last for quite some time. Same is true for FO3.

Don't forget to patch it. Go to NMA for details.

Exactly how can you say fallout 3 is shorter, it took me over 30 min to beat it.

Even when playing Fallout 1 "correctly" for the first time, it still took me a good 1-2 weeks to finish it.

Oh, and I hadn't even done all the optional quests.
