This is a real RPG. You can play this game so many different ways it's unreal. You can be a laser gun toting mad scientist hacking computers and robots across the wastes; a lever action toting post apocalyptic cowboy, an explosives obsessed recluse; a smooth talking, suit wearing con-man, a mentally challenged, melee wielding 'ner do well, and the list goes on. You can be whatever your imagination can conjure. Stat, skill and perk checks make most conversations a deeper, choose-your-own-adventure game within game. Moreover, Obsidian gets what the tenor and mood of this franchise should be. It's a weird future, sometimes dark, sometimes hilarious. The one thing it's not is preachy and sombre--or boring! Top 5 game all-time during my 35 years of playing RPGs. Up there for me with Ultima 6/7 and KOTOR.
