Can I ask why you thought that?
I've found it to be great, and I'm generally a pessimistic little *******

There is another way. Eventually the 'crazy' old lady will come over and talk to you. Alternatively, you'll stumble over it looking through the few buildings in that reality.

Having you been doing the story line to lead you to vualt 112? If not like me you may have just skipped half the game.

Yes I've managed to do the story up to vault 112 - I've been to Rivet city/Arlington library and I've done the Moira quests in Megaton and a few others too. But I don't know how much there is still to do
I know you can blow Megaton up but I've not seen that yet. I guess that's the free form nature of the game. I need to get out of this dreamscape. I've had that old biddy talk to me but nothing much has helped. I'll keep looking in the houses.

SPOILERS regarding Vault 112:
Go to the house of the couple you need to break up, get info on a suspected other female, go to her house and find some sexy nightwear and place that on the workbench in the first house basement, then let the wife see it and watch them break up.

More spoiler*
If you have a high charisma and speech skill you can just walk up to the wife and bold faced lie about it, and it works

Not far from the end really.
Or, if you fancy a puzzle, you can go into one of the houses and play a series of notes on the stuff in there and short-cut all the faffing about
YEah listen to what she's whistling.

I was really gutted that I couldn't save them all from the machines 
I killed them all instead

Does anyone else find the game rather boring after a while? I've played around 50 hours, and i'm heading to the vault 112 (?) in the main quest. I'd done a bit of exploring, and completed all side quests i ran into.
For the first 40 hours or so, i'd check every single container i could find, as i needed caps and ammo. But now i have 7k+ caps, and a lot of ammo, so i no longer have any incentive to go explore. I dont even check containers any more, unless they're special, or in a special room. In most places you find by 'exploring', isnt all you find some baddies, caps, misc junk, and if you're 'lucky', some skill books (which i dont care about, as ive maxed science, lockpicking, repair, and small guns, dont care much about the other skills).
In Morrowind (best game ive played where exploring was genuinely fun) you'd need to be careful of overpowering baddies, and could look forward to useful items, but theres none of that really in FO3 =/

To a point yes, but I still check most containers for stuff and whenever I find some scrap metal I always think about the guy in Megaton that buys it and uses it for his waterpipes
Most of the time I try to sneak and kill unseen and still have about half of the main quest still to do.

I dont know how people can find so many caps!! I'm struggling with a few hundred here and I've got one of those perks which supposedly maximises caps in containers. I guess I get through my weapons and I like to keep well stocked of stimpaks which are quite expensive. But even still.. I've never had more than 1000 caps and I've played 30 hours+ so far easily.

I restarted the game after an inital playthrough of about 5 hours or so, since i didnt realise the game used some of the 'misc' items for schematics, etc. So on my current playthrough, i hoarded everything in my magic locker in Megaton, that's probably holding around 1000 weight's worth of items. I've got lot of scrap metal, but i've heard some other NPC wants some too, and since i'm not desperate for caps, i just keep mine stashed away
One hit stealth kills are pretty satisfying
i can do them now my small gun skill is near 100.It wasn't 'easy' at first, since i kept buying items for my house, but i didnt spend really apart from that. Just pick up all the weapons and armor you come across, and if you've been raising your repair skill, it can be more profitable to repair/combine two of the same item and sell it, rather than selling them individually. Also, doing this while out in the wilderness means you increase the item's value to weight ratio, makes you lighter, and you can grab more goodies. And if you feel you havent covered most of an area at the moment you become overweight, theres no harm really in heading back to town/home to sell or drop off your loot.

You need to get good at scavving. Pick up items with a high value to weight ratio, and sell them on. If you're running out of space you can repair weapons on the fly, and sell the fixed up ones.
I have repair maxed which saves a fortune with the added bonus of more damage. I would say it is one of the most important skills to have. I am earning far more caps than I can spend and I have not bought one stimpack and have about 80 in my inventory. Ammo is not an issue as I have the find more ammo perk so due to my build caps have never been an issue and that is on the hard difficulty. I am getting to that point where I am not going to bother collecting drops unless it is something that I need. This is a far cry from Clear Sky where I am always broke.
I would like to add that you repair your weapon by adding the durability of another weapon to yours. You loose the other weapon in the process, but the value of the repaired weapon goes up so you never loose money by destroying the old weapon (sorry about the long winded explanation). This means your inventory is full of high condition and high value weapons by the time you reach a trader.
