Summary: Bethesda could have done better....
Comment: Now i love The elder scrolls series but this game is just awful,It felt like i was playing Oblivion but The game and quests are buggy,i was always having to save for fear of losing my spot in game.And i wanted to buy this game cause of the great work on elder scrolls but if you want to play a game with zombies and no crashes or bugs try Left 4 Dead maybe cause i wish i had bought that game then this one.The only good thing about this game was the voice acting of Liam Neeson,Malcolm McDowell
and Ron Perlman and thats it sadly

Summary: A new kind of Fallout that is worth the time!
Comment: It took some time to get used to playing Fallout as a FPS. I'm a big fan of Fallout 1 and 2 replaying both of those games leading up to this one.
This game is NOT what I thought it would be! It far exceeds what I expected. The universe is huge, the graphics great, and the character system even more defining than the previous. While the initial story line IS short it gets you so hooked into the game its hard to leave it.
The variety of weapons and the difference in effects, flavor, and combat damage are all very complelling. More than a few times I found my self jump in my seat when a trap went off or when a foe found me. I haven't had that happen in a FPS or MMO.
Whereas the humor is different it is still there. I was really shocked when I was told to F-off by an 10 year old! It is DEFINITELY a mature game. Lock the den door if you have kids.
Overall its been a blast! I'm not done and I'm anxious to get back to it.

Summary: ....
Comment: To start out, this is a "Game(s) for Windows"...Why then do I have to spend two hours trying to install it?? The install seemed to go fine until you try to start a new game, then it crashes to Windows. Come to find out you have to download a 3rd party codec in order for the game to work... So after installing the game, installing new codec, uninstalling the game, reinstalling the game, it finally worked...for a while...
At random times in game, it will just crash to Windows or crash and lock up Windows or BSoD. I tried to patch the game... The patch will show 100% complete, however, it and the game will lock up (Not responding).
On top of all this after it BSoD I get a SYSTEM FILE corrupt/missing. After repairing windows SECROM magically finds an emulator (which I've never had or used) and won't start the game...
I guess in light of the fact that you need a 3rd party codec, SECROM thinks my Samsung DVD drive is an emulator, it corrupts Windows; this is not a "Game(s) for Windows" but a "Game(s) for Dells".
The game itself (when it runs) is pretty nice. It's an interesting take on combat, and a nice combination of RBG and FPS.

Summary: Big Bethsoft fan
Comment: I've been playing Bethesda games since Elder Scrolls: Arena. I played Skynet, Redguard, Battlespire, and the entire Elder scrolls series. I've loved them all. I love this game (I think much of the vulgarity is high school kid level and gratuitous, BUT I can't say I wasn't forewarned: I just think my definition of "adult entertainment" may vary from the mainstream). Issue: I bought the collector's edition October 30th and couldn't get it running until mid November. Now that it IS running, it's gorgeous, fun, addictive, immersive. I felt mistreated by Bethsoft support, though. They always apologized for my woes, but I called several times, long distance, and went through the same litany each time as to why the game would freeze two seconds into play. (I have a more than adequate system.) One techie actually told me the problem was my NVIDIA card (GTX8800), although the manual says the game was designed and tested on NVIDIA cards. I finally got relief by going to SECUROM, on my own, and running their alternate .exe file. The games runs very well at high specs now, but still freezes from time to time. A reboot fixes the problem.
Bottom line? (1) Kudos for a job well done. (2) A personal install disaster for me.

Summary: Crash Time
Comment: This game has alot of potential. It is astounding that a company uses SecuRom at all. It messes with your computer, crashes good programs that had nothing wrong with them before, screws the good guys that pay for it when the pirates are still hacking it anyway, and limits the amount of installations. I was unaware of SecuRom being on this game at all before I bought it. I think Bethesda should refund the money of those that were tricked to buy this game with a potentially dangerous rootkit embeded in it or create a patch and quick to remove this horrible program. Like I said, the game is excellent if I could play for more than 45 mins. at a time without a crash.
