This isn't much a flaming article as I do enjoy the game (I guess) just my opinion on things you find in the game.
I've somewhat enjoyed New Vegas, bugs don't bother me, I've played Morrowind, and if you can live through those bugs, nothings impossible. My only problem, which keeps me from ever admitting it as a true Bethesda adventure experience, is how friggin' lazy obsideon is!
I mean come on! The graphics almost look worse, the reloading bench isn't really needed, I find enough ammo as it is, and why campfires? Sunset Sarsaparilla folks, 1 hp/25 seconds last time i checked. I know obsideon is known for their great story lines, little hard to find it though since it's so cheesy, I recall this revenge act to have become quite old now. The factions and respect levels are fine, their realistic. Unlike the enemies, find me any time I should be swarmed with that many enemies at level 3, sounds like someone didn't understand the "Random Enemy" icon in the G.E.C.K, which is basically all it is, someone taking items and meshes in Fallout 3 and pasting them in a new file. Lastly, as far as I could recall, since many of you probably liked some of these things, Speech, why did they mess with it? Fallout 3 was just a percent chance of accessing special dialogue, now it's fractions, 100% or a no go for special dialogue, redundant for those who were more concerned with survival over socializing.
Though it seems to me its like me and that Deadliest Warrior game, I don't like it, would never suggest it to anyone, but it's addictive and it does fill the void of Fallout in my life.

I think we all need to take a step back and understand how the gaming industry works. I've taken some 3d animation classes. And producing a game isn't as easy as using Forge in Halo, or making a skate park in Tony Hawk, lol.
and I've only had a glimpse into the process and I am amazed that people manage to make these games.

I mean between the deadlines that are possibly set(sometimes to appeal to consumers who are too impatient)
BUDGET, TIME,PROGRAMMING,LIGHTING,MODELING,ANIMATION,SOUND, the list goes on

so if all of you are upset with the outcome of this game maybe you should support the idea of having them take more time to develop the next fallout title.

I believe if they had more time to work on this game it would have been noticeably better. I would think the developers wished they could have focused more time on certian areas of the game, but those DEADLINES have to be met unfortunately....

true, I do hate deadlines, give it a month and there will be retexture mods, I wouldn't be as annoyed if i had the pc version, I'd just mod it myself and fix it, do it whenever I can. Zenemax (at least I think they did fallout 3) had their share of problems in content, like the feral goul reaver, or point lookout. (Mothership zeta was awesome, and the pitt, though difficult, was fun.) I have nothing to say about broken steel (other than necissary) or anchorage, as the winterized power armor bug was more awesome than problematic

I found a minor bug that I thought was funny. when you do the "come fly with me quest" and help the ghouls take off in the rocket, they said they would leave the human guy behind and they did but if you go talk to him after theyre gone he says"Leave me alone its almost time to start the launch"
