I am loving the mood of this game. While I did enjoy FO3, this game feels like the real sequel to FO2. Still only a fdw hours in, but I am really digging it.
I am playing a "jack of all trades, master of none" character, keeping all skills at the same level. I am mixing explosives with guns in combat. I still haven't used melee or unarmed yet. It is also nice that I can use skills for dialog, sneak, barter, explosives, repair and science options have popped up.
