Turn based probably wasn't the best way to describe it. You basically pause the game and queue up attacks on various parts of enemies' bodies. You have a % chance of hitting the target based on your skills and stats.

But yeah, Fallout doesn't really play like a shooter.

That's one of the few things that bugged me so far.

First main story "mission" outside the Vault:

From what i figured out so far.

One of the first things you want to do is either make that bomb blow up that town or disarm it. Depends how you want to play this game.

You need a place to stay in either Megaton or get a deluxe apartment in the sky at Tenpenny towers to put all your stuff.

I have the bought gaming guide for it. Everything is overwhelming me so far.

PC for me. Running at a smooth 60 frames per second with all settings maxed, kicked back in my chair using a 360 controller.
OK, I'm confused by this. You're playing it on a PC with a 360 controller? How does that work?

360 controller is USB

It works on PC/Mac

If you have a wired controller, you can plug it into your PC.

If you're like me, and have a wireless controller, you need Microsoft's wireless receiver. You can use any wireless 360 device on the PC that way.

The wired method works but not sure about the wireless.

Do you have to program the interface, or does it do that automatically?

Most games auto-map the controls, and if the game is Games for Windows Live enabled (like Fallout 3 or Crysis), 360 controller support is native.

The only recent game that gave me a problem out of the box is NBA 2K9. Their default controller settings were atrocious, but a quick reconfiguration fixed it.

I picked up Fallout 3 and the wireless receiver. Still playing Fable, but I'll probably hook it up and test it out later tonight.

My god, i got lost in the subway station for a good 45 min. My only complaint is that you cant hardly see shit at times. I guess thats how they want it to be, but its really dark. I thought Bioshock was bad.
