You will like this game if you liked Fallout 3, it's just more Wasteland goodness with some new stuff (perks, weapons, companions, etc.) thrown into it.
Finished it with 58h on the game clock, it is a true sequel to fallout 2 and every aspect of fallout 3 has been done better. The world is huge and I have never seen so much content in one game, reminds me a bit of good old Morrowind, but with the world filled with 300% more stuff.

Since this journal is already lost to the sea of journals here on crossfire, I can spoil you a bit and tell that the weapon on that picture is not the default sniper rifle that you can buy. To me (and some others too) it seemed to be the best weapon in the whole game and used it until the end.
cant stop playing it
