So are you saying “Its a good game BECAUSE Fallout,” or “Its a good game DESPITE Fallout”?

That’s not a bad thing, IMO.

Not really. I’m going into this game expecting “Fallout”, and am geared up to compare it to other Fallouts as such. If you try to compare it to other RPGs, there will be aspects that fall short. If you look at it as “Advanced, Relocated Fallout 3” it looks a lot better.
