Just finished after exploring most every nook and cranny. Overall, I had a blast: It was engaging and I enjoyed the character interactions. The story had some meat to it, and there were some nice twists.

Two issues, both about the endgame:

Endgame spoils!

- The false choice of sacrificing yourself or Lyons to power the purifier. Uh... during the whole conversation, there's Fawkes in the background. You know, the guy who already went through lots of radiation to get me the G.E.C.K.? I realize what they were trying to do story wise, but it was a bit of cheat.

- No aftergame wrap up other than what generally happened. One of my favorite parts about the Fallouts (and Arcanum) was the story on what happened to each place after the game was over. Hey, I told the Brotherhood where to find the supermutants.... did that have an effect? I killed every slaver in Paradise Falls.... did that have an effect? Vault 101 is now open... did that have an effect? Etc., etc.

I still had a great time, and will play through (at a slower pace) as some sort of bad-dude, but those two things stuck out to me.
