I've exhausted everything there is to do on FO3 and NV, only so many play throughs you can do and needed something to bridge the gap before FO4.

its not very long. just really wide. sounds stupid but there is a difference. you can complete the main story in a few hours if you want. but there is sooooo much else to do. like hundreds of hours worth of stuff if you wanna do it.

I played it for a bit when it came out but I lost interest pretty soon, partly because of work. I'm not a massive fan of open world games but I might give it another try

Sweet, got it with the three add on packs so should keep me going for a while :D

depends how you're gonna play it tbh, there are unique weapons of every type that you get through different quests.

Like most games where you can collect/upgrade weapons, I'll just complete it with the default sword :lol:

I got the 3 add on packs after completing it, having difficulty drumming up the will to actually play through them.

I just crafted a lot and made my own weapon and armour, never really used any of the unique weapons. <3 glass mace of paralysis.

Yeah, just beware that you can level up quite a lot just through crafting, which means your combat skills could end up a bit weak if you concentrate too much on crafting early on.

But if you do decide to craft your own high end stuff, don't neglect Enchantment as you can get pretty powerful add-ons to your equipment that way.

Might be a silly question but how do you improve combat skills if not through leveling.

Is there any way to copy steam games from one computer to another with having to download them again?
