I really enjoyed this game. It's not as re-playable as New Vegas, but it is worth a few play-throughs. I liked the humor, and surprisingly, I loved the charm. The combat is good, I found the weapon selection to be very limited. The story is original, and the companions are some of the best in any game I've played. If you are looking for a lighthearted, easy-going game, you might like this, maybe. I'm just some random dude. My opinion shouldn't be worth much to you. I don't know what you like. Nobody will read this anyway, I have wasted my time writing this review. I've wasted yours too, if you've read this far.
No one is going to read this, so I'll make it quick. This is a solid game with good controls, very few bugs, a decent story with solid writing, and enough variety to stay interesting. I ended up buying the DLC. I like the game well enough to spend some added dough.
