This was my first introduction to the Fallout franchise and let me just say I was very impressed. The shooting/combat aspect of the game is surprisingly fun, considering I'm not much of a first-person shooter fan. Tons of story, lore, character development and CHOICES. The graphics are beautiful, and the game has always run smoothly for me. The settlement building part of the game is a blast as well! Basically, this is a fantastic game that should be in every gamer's collection.
