This game singlehandedly made me love Fallout as a franchise. People will get caught up in Obsidian superiority complexes, but I think Bethesda absolutely knocked it out of the park here.

I will definitely say that this game is more linear than New Vegas, only facilitating 1 or 2 extra playthroughs for other endings. However, it takes that design decision and makes a Main Quest far more interesting and fun to play than a good chunk of the New Vegas Main Questline. If you're only gonna play through once - Fallout 3 is the far better choice.
