Just to be sure I didn't get shafted, was everyone's deck of cards some craptastic made in China, 1 cent production, quality? As in nowhere near Casino quality cards? I ask because I just got the Fable III LE and their deck of cards is most definitely Casino quality when Vegas isn't even in the title of Fable III.

any thoughts?

I have them sitting in the desk in front of me. They are pretty quality. Each card has a character from the game on it and a quote from that character. The four suits each represent different general factions (NCR, CL, New Vegas, Misc).

In case you want to know about durability and the like: I wouldn't say they're quite on the level of casino style cards, but they are pretty decent. Don't go bending them for no reason, but don't expect them to snap in two when you're shuffling.

I've left mine sealed and pretty much everything except the book untouched.

Mine are still sealed, but I suppose I'll have to open them sooner or later...

I know I'm going to love all the pretty, pretty pictures... and I get the appropriateness of playing cards, but I would have much rather had a hardcover portfolio art book with all the character art and quotes, rather than putting that art onto playing cards.

Obsidian / Bethesda, if you're listening - make such a book, and I'll buy 5 copies, and I'll tell everyone I know to buy it too.

PS> While you're at it, please make a big ass, thick hardcover art book for FO3 and FNV.

I absolutely love the artwork on the cards. I just wished they were placed on some higher quality media. A shame really.
