Massive RPG

This game mixes the RPG skill system with a shooter, with VATS thrown in.  As a FPS, it doesn't do so well, but VATS helps to make up for this.  The graphics are superb, if somewhat brown, but it is a nuclear wasteland.  The moral decision system is quite straightforward, and I found that there seem to be more rewards for being a good character.  Maybe it's just me though.  The weapons are fun, and fun to use.  Limbs are destructable, and its a spectacle watch a raider be blown to bits by a shotgun or a sniper rifle.  Or, to disentegrate them with a laser or plasma gun.  The story is interesting, and the world is vast and ripe for exploration.  Overall, an excellent game that's a must have.
