These are my impresions of the game.

1.Gameplay

We can officially say that Fallout turned into a shooter, 80 % of the time it's just running around killing all kind of things.

Of course you get your power armor in the first 30 minutes, after that the game itself became boring for me.

The AI is a terrible mess (just as i predicted in the past) and fighting stupid bots is no fun.

2.Dialogue

Look at the dialogue in F2,F3,FNV and now look at the dialogue in F4, i think i've said everything.

3.Story

The story is better this time (i think) it's not a typical "save the world story" and i'm happy with that.

Unfortunately you can see the plot twists from a mile away.

Combine all of this with a crappy building and managing system and a cool but unnecessary big weapon crafting, i think we have ourselfs an average game full of bugs and bad design choices.

I'il give it a 5 or maximum 6 out of 10.

I suspect not...

I think the enemy AI is a good improvement and can keep up with other shooters that we see today...

enemies search cover, throw grenades at you, use melee against you at close range

deathclaws/ghouls try to dodge bullets and try to run away, if they can't get to you

every enemy has it's own tactics and requires a different approach to be taken down

And the thing, that it feels like a shooter is great. The game has guns after all?!

The combat in F3 and FNV was terrible...

I'm not too happy with the dialogue... while it feels more 'realistic' than before, it definitely doesn't have as much depth as the previous games.

You can see that they were limited by the amount of dialogue they could record :/

Why not? Isn't it what Todd said himself too, wanting it to be a "great shooter"?

I think to remember he said "shooting things is fun" .
