Has anyone round here played Fallout 3?

Oh, yes. Played it quite to death, in fact. Just finished up the Anchorage expansion last night.

I have a slight lag on these things, as you may know (I just picked up Bioshock last night). I read about the PGH expansion for F3, and between that and the chance to play in the burned out wreckage of a city I had worked in (did they have the speed trap as you come in on New York Ave?), I might adopt the game earlier than I normally would have. It's on the other end of the country, so I'm assuming there isn't much interaction with the first 2 Fallouts?

I think they did a very good job of capturing the look & feel of the first two games, and you'll see familiar giant animals and mutants, but there's no carryover of characters from the earlier games (with perhaps one obscure exception). There are allusions to the Brotherhood of Steel's "HQ out West," but you're not going to meet any old friends.

I don't know what speed trap you're talking about, but if it was anywhere near a tall building, chances are it's covered in rubble.

How did the combat playout? It's sorta turnbased and sorta-fps?
