    Been playing since yesterday, lvl 14 atm.

    It's basically a more polished Fallout 3, but it's still damn awesome.

    Again, never played Fallout 3.

    Is this an expansion of Fallout 3, or a completely "separate" game from that title?

    Separate game. Different location, different time period... and of course it's standalone. Same engine, hence why people say it's more like a giant expansion than a new game.

    Played 9 hours yesterday, so obviously the game is doing something good to suck me in for that long. It's great so far, I'll post a more detailed review when I get some more hours in.

    Just beat the game, took me around 15 hours.

    There is a LOT of flexibility in how you end the game. Plenty of factions to choose from, leading to a load of quests to do as well.

    Gonna start my Evil Melee Only character now on Hardcore, wish me luck. :>

    15 hours? How is that even possible, not even done with Act 1 at 16 hours. And it's not like I did all side quests or explored that much either. Different playstyles I guess ;)

    Yeah, must have BLOWN through it. 15 hrs seems kinda short for any type of singleplayer game worth its weight.

    I'm retarded fast at this game because of having no life. :(

    I just playthrough REALLY fast at first without doing too many, if any side quests, so that I get a feel of what things work in the game. (Perks, guns, etc.)
