Hello,
When fallout 3 came, I kind of hesitated to play it as I never really heard about it before. When I started playing it, I was blown away, brilliant game. However, due to me not having much of a knowledge about this game, there were a few things I didn't do:

1) I didn't do much side quests (I believe maximum would be ~3-4)
2) I didn't explore the wasteland further than the main quest road
3) I only found out about the VATS late in the game ( ^^ )
4) I had a unlimited money due to me not bothering exploring and finding ammo and weapons...I was very short so I used cheats. First time in ages I used cheats, lol.
5) The Pitt was the only DLC I played

After playing Fallout: New Vegas, I remember how I loved this game so much. I'm currently still exploring every bit I can in NV ( have 20 hours on it so far) but I'm already thinking about the future...

The reasons I don't want to re-play Fallout 3 was due to the fact I EXTREMELY hate to replay games. I really do. It's something I almost never do, and even if the game is so amazing. I won't replay NV either (there are a lot of replay options, bad/good karma, melee/guns etc...) but I just can't stand replaying a game. However, I feel I didn't experience Fallout 3 enough to really let this game go.

Another thing is, I kind of hated a lot of quests and missions in Fallout 3 (the Vaults and Sewers, somehow I hated them, and there were LOTS of them) - it's something that really does let me off from installing Fallout 3 again.

I kind of gave a question - answer to myself, but still would like it to be an open discussion and hear what you have to say.
:fallout:

Give it a shot. The only thing you can lose is time.

To make it more fun play as a different kind of character

Fallout 3 is a replayable game for people who normally don't replay games.
