The main story line is too short and too easy, there are lots of subplots and other places to go, but no reason to do them. You don't need to gain experience to finish the game. It just isn't tied together well. Here is a bag of quest you can do, or not. Here are a bunch of places you can go, or not. Linear games are no fun, but this game is no fun either, games should offer alternate paths and lots of side quests, but they should be useful or some how tied to the plot. The gameplay is fairly week too, it is like fighting on an old console adventure game. Somebody please buy Fallout III from Bethesda before they screw it up.
