I think the combat in W3 is OK (not great, not terrible), but what I didn't like is the skill check system. I felt like I was playing Age of Decadence, where the entire game is just a skill check simulator, and in some situations you can't do anything without the specific levels of very specific skills.

curious too se now how different will be the game play up to were I was years ago. WL2 had good C&C. Glad it's finally on sale since I really wanted to play another good isometric game.

Overall I enjoyed W3 quite a bit, but a nuclear alpha strike being the most optimal strategy for opening every encounter somewhat hampered the experience as I missed a lot of dialogue doing so.

finished it, sided with Buchanon because I was in the impression that Angela will betray us....because of what happened in WL2.
Aside from the ugly interface, I did like it more than WL2 because it's shorter. Interesting way to play everything that you did in the end, really good OST and overall a cool game.
Now if only we can get a isometric game with main character and turned based combat in Fallout style....but with C&C and complex quests that would really make me happy.

I sided with the patriarch as well, because it made no sense to me to follow Angela's delusional vision of "bringing democracy to Colorado" or whatever the fuck she envisioned. Also, it pissed me off that I had to waste half of all Rangers in the Ranger compound because of her dumbfuck uprising.

The best ending is the one where you blow up Cheyenne Mountain and rid the world of all the insane fucks in this game.

Try Atom and Trudograd
Finished them both. While they are the closest thing to a real Fallout 3, I do wish for more complex quests like in Arcanum and reputation system like in New Vegas.

In that case try total conversion mods for original Fallout like Sonora, Nevada or Olympus. The really have some amazing ambient soundtrack and artwork. Also Sonora has got some proper complex quest lines and politics and faction reputations.
