As an "avid" Fallout fan, I have some mixed feelings about the game in general. Towards the latter half of the game, I noticed that it got awfully buggy (near the south eastern side of the "world") and I was forced to reload over and over again. Pretty frustrating. The game itself is great, however the bugs are almost detrimental to the game. Coupled with the game freezes, it makes for a pretty frustrating play through. I also chose the "Wild Wasteland" trait, and saw nothing of the sort. I made it a point not to fast travel as much as I did in FO3 to try and catch a glimpse of the "Wild" wastes. This game is right on the cusp of being a truly great installment in the Fallout series, although the bugs sometime make it unbearable. I'm sure many of you are sick of hearing about it, but like it or not, it's there. Overall, though, it's a great game that deserves a better review than what I'm giving it. After around 60 hours, I've concluded that the ending was spectacular and the choices were great throughout the game. If they were to patch the bugs, it would be phenomenal.

Great to see someone actually make a positive post about the game.

Damn straight, since when does "Wild" mean "Confined to certain, unchanging locations"

It sounds like they are working very hard on addressing all the bugs and imbalance issues. I love this game now and I have a feeling that in a year, after patches and DLC I'll love it more.
