Oh, for christ's sake, why can't you NMA rejects stay in your little nerd haven? Let us normal fans enjoy the hype and talk about this game without having to argue with a bunch of delusional virgins.
This guy has never seen the game in action and can write a bunch of paragraphs about how the combat is wrong and not true to Fallout; dude, you should invest in the stock market if you can predict the future so well! The combat was by far the clunkiest aspect of the engine, thank god they're updating it to a more sensible system.
What makes Fallout Fallout is the setting, the mood, the black humor, the silly pop-culture references, it's what made it stand out in the first place! Turn-based cRPGs with pen & paper roots were dime-a-dozen in the 90s, and were much more a result of hardware limitations than developer choice (a dice roll is trying to simulate reality, if you can simulate it more realistically, with proper physics, why the hell would you still use dice rolls?).
That's what's cool about GW, since there are no überpwning items, you don't need to play the farming/grinding game if you don't want to. You can of course try to get the rarer stuff, but they're just prettier (you can get the same stats from a collector item or cheap green).
And of course, people give away a lot of stuff, I for one do a "Storage Clearance" almost every weekend, giving away almost-max or max-but-with-common-skins items to newbies :D.
