been playing for about 2.5 hours now. exited the vault and went into the Springvale school before going to megaton. haven't even entered megaton yet.
anyway, i'm not sure how i feel yet. does any of the stuff you can pick up become useful at any point, like scrap metal or parts of things? I mean, can you use this to repair stuff later or is it useless trash or maybe only good for a few dollars?
is there a lockpicking tutorial? i totally do not understand how you pick locks at all. it makes no sense to me.
i wish there was a little more explanation on stuff.
i like VATS but wtf do i have to manually activate it? also, wtf don't you stay in vats mode after using your ap? i go into VATS mode, shoot, end my turn, and then VATS goes away and i'm stuck with an enemy rushing at me. i can return to vats mode and then do 1 shot/burst and then i'm back to real time. is it because VATS is only for called shotsl, not regular combat? i'm trying to remember how it worked in F1 and F2. maybe i'm not remembering it correctly or maybe because those games were completely turn-based, not real time. maybe i'm trying to make this game be like the originals and it's not?
One thing though is that i haven't had many "whoa, this is awesome!" moments that i had in FC2 almost right away. I think the 1st time i used vats on a human, it went "whoa, that is awesome!" but other than, i'm not too impressed so far.
I didn't like Oblivion and I'm seeing a lot of similarities to it in F3 so i'm sure that is influencing me as well. i'll give it some more time and see.
