The level of detail graphics of the landscape , the character animations and interaction, the sound ,enemy AI , all add up to the most immersive Fallout game yet. I know some will disagree but for me this blows NV out of the water in the immersion category.

This forum has concluded that the use of term "immersion" is a bannable offense. Please reword your opinion to avoid use of such contemptible language.

PS: I'm (mostly) not serious.

Yeah, one thing I love is the art direction in this game, down to the smallest details.

And don't forget about the ambient music!

Many people whine about this game, but it does outshine previous fallouts in many ways.

I can think of a few other Bethesda games that blow NV "out of the water"

The music should win an award all on it's own it's magnificent.

They got the bowling wrong. We bowl candlepin, not tenpin. There is a (IIRC the name) a Boston Bowl advertising on a wall somewhere. It shows tenpin. Who do I call to get my money back?

I do like the Boston Bugle reference to the notorious mobster Winter, The Winter Hill gang was run by mobster Howie Winter in Somerville MA .

They did a good job with the accents, must have had some local talent.

Oh yeah.. This bloody game has consumed my life for the past week. Considering the condition I'm in right now. My father died 2 weeks ago and I thought I wouldn't be able to get lost in this world just yet but It has completely svcked me in !
Dialogue system (which was my biggest problem with the game) got (to some degree) fixed with a mod that shows what I'm saying and it made the game much better for me.
