Guys, if you are not afraid of playing a mid-90s game (pre-Baldur's Gate graphic engine) then go get it. Before I played Fallout 1 & 2, I didn't like RPGs much, I also was put off by post nuclear theme... yet I have finished those massive games without glancing at the solutions! It also changed my view on the whole cRPG genre.
It features lots of hidden stuff, many contemporary jokes (similar sense of humor as in Warcraft III, when irritated character reply to you), high character customization and a long gameplay.
War... War never changes...
