About four hours in, and having a lot of fun so far. The gunplay is infinitely better than previous fallout games. It actually feels like a proper FPS now. I relied heavily on VATS on the other games because shooting was so cumbersome. In this, it's the opposite, using VATS feels stupid when the shooting is so responsive. Ammo also seems to be a bit more generous, which helps. I don't feel like I have to be so stingy with it. I really like that the player has a voice now. Dialog feels a lot more like a Bioware RPG now, which is a great thing to me. Lots of people are commenting on the graphics. I'm finding it hard to complain. It looks fine. It's not great. It's not going to drop your jaw. But, it's fine. With mods, I think it has the potential to look incredible.
I've encountered one noteworthy bug thus far. I was playing a mission in which I had to kill a particular NPC to advance, and for whatever reason I was unable to damage them. Thankfully, my companion was, so I just went and hid and let them take care of it. It's worthy to note my companion was not the dog. Had it been, I think I may have had a much more difficult time here. The dog is great for distracting and staggering enemies, but I'm not sure how helpful he'd have been when I needed someone doing a lot of damage for me.
I've also had a random NPC collision issue here and there, and one issue where I went to aim from behind cover, and it warped me a few feet to a different spot. IMO these things are really minor, and didn't interfere at all with playing the game.
Running on the latest Nvidia driver (through GFE, the Fallout driver) and no SLI. I'm not overly worried yet. At 1440p, fully maxed (low godrays) I seem to be getting an average of 70-80fps. Can't complain there. Ultra godray killed FPS. As long as it's got SLI by the time stuff like texture mods and ENB start pumping out, I will be just fine.
