Dear God, my life. You have ended it.

Read the whole thing in a single sitting. Good points, doesn't stop F3 from being in my top ten games though. A lot of the issues could have been because this was the developers' first foray into Fallout territory and were trying to balance their own ideas in what was already established universe ('umm, those Enclave guys were bad right? Well let's add them!'). I just started playing New Vegas over the weekend and I definitely see an improvement with the characters and overall feel of the game.
