I gotta get this...i did enjoy fallout 3
Because its not possible to relax in a chair while being by a desk...
This ^^ and because it isn't really an FPS
Its as much an FPS as it needs to be and when, especially early game, your aim is critical to survival as VATS is useless (and would be a pain anyway scrolling through every option...) i think i prefer not dieing because i could aim...
For me its far comfier relaxing back in my chair.. I had over 140+ hours of enjoyment out of fallout 3 playing with a controller and had no issues.
Each to their own...
Wonder how the Steam Cloud will work as Fallout3 uses anywhere from 8-14MB per save so the usual Steam Cloud 100MB or so allocated will run out real fast!I like that this uses Steam Cloud. Will probably use my Xbox controller for it to.
I hope they have allowed for this as with Fallout3 you could go back to a much earlier save if you messed up hours later!

I think I might try and get hold of this game, I still haven't completed Fallout 3 though..... got distracted with call of pripryat
140+ hours and not a single problem with the poor aiming? Pull the other one.
I use Vats as i quite like it.....never really noticed a problem with the aiming..

Probably a limited number of save slots similar to Just Cause 2 (for those of you who have played it). Unless Steam Cloud won't back up saves, just game settings.
If VATS alone gets you through the game either you're playing on Very Easy or the game isn't as difficult as i remember it on vanilla. Pretending you had no issue with aiming doesn't mean it wasn't there.
Save slots for Just cause 2, while lame, isn't that big a deal. But for a Bethesda RPG? You've got to be kidding me, limiting the number of save slots with be utter bs.
I used my wireless 360 controller a lot playing this game mainly because you spend a great deal of the time walking and talking to people and its a lot easier to lay back in your chair and do that.
Did use my mouse and keyboard whenever there was a particularly hard fight though because its just so much easier to aim if I'm not using VATS.

Never had any issues here either.
Play them both offline? Though I'm not sure how this will effect your saves when you go online.
I, also, had no problem with the aiming. You have to remember that weapons were a skill so even if you were aiming dead on in the FPS view you could still miss. VATS I used 80% of the time I reckon as it was easier and you got to see the body being blown to bits on crits.
I also found the graphics to be superb. It was exactly right for the era and how I envisage the land looking after such an event.

Well assuming she doesn't use Steam just log your account in and set it onto offline mode and to never sync with the steam cloud (in the event you do need to go online for an update or something). Though that would only work if you were using seperate computers... steamcloud could mess things up if it has a limited number of save slots, but you could still prevent it from using it and copy/paste different saves across if you have to.
Lol, early game weapons could barely hit a barn door from 2 feet yes. They were badly damaged and you sucked with them. But fully repaired weapons when you were good with them? Pull the other 1. Things like the Hunting Rifle had a minor spread but not enough to matter at mid range and the Lincolns Repeater and Ol' Painless had zero spread. Sure VATS could get you through a lot of encounters later on if you never engaged anyone further than 10m away since the VATS accuracy dropped horribly fast on vanilla, pretty much all of them if you took Grim Reapers Sprint at lvl20, but before then not a chance.
Well she also has an OCD type thing in that she wouldn't want to play using my steam login and would want her own anyway
