After sinking a great many hours into this latest Fallout, I have to say that this overt violence presented all too often in the media leading up to release, has taken focus away from the true nature of the experience.
The funniest parts of Fallout 3 are rarely tied to violence. It's in the outcome of character interaction, and it's in the hilarity of their ironic views spawned by a post-apocalyptic landscape. And to me, at least, that's what will resonate when this veil of popping heads has been lifted.
