I'm starting to enjoy it too.
Rolled up a new character -- max Intelligence and Charisma, high Luck, medium Agility, low S, P, E, tagged Speech, Repair, and Small guns; made him black and named him Barack.
Now I've been wandering around the DC wasteland being charming to people and, occasionally, shooting their heads off. Haven't got too deep into any quests yet. Observations so far:
* Nice scenery. Very rich, detailed, and interesting take on the post-apoc-50's-kitch-punk theme. If anywhere, Fallout's legacy lives here.
* Bad writing. I haven't met any characters beyond the "painted stick with a corny accent" level yet. If anywhere, here's where the game lets down the FO franchise most.
* You can tell the devs had fun making it, and that means a great deal for any game.
* The combat is OK -- nothing spectacular, but not too bad either, and the character skills appear to factor into them nicely. This is more Deus Ex than Fallout, Oblivion, or VtM:B. Truth be told, I'm enjoying the combat a lot more than I did in FO -- running away is a viable survival strategy, and I don't get anywhere near as much bogged down shooting rat packs, since that can be done on the fly. Not much to do with FO here, but it works, so I'm not complaining. Seems fairly well balanced -- occasionally challenging without being insta-killing.
* It seems a bit too generous with the junk. Lots of guns, ammo, food, and medicine lying around, which sort of undermines the "post-apocalyptic wasteland" thing IMO.
* Too many things that don't make sense. FO's world was internally very consistent -- you really felt like you were intruding on something that was there despite you. Here, there are lots of places that feel like set pieces put together for your enjoyment.
* Technically solid -- runs impeccably on my (somewhat aging) rig and looks and sounds great; I get occasional crashes on startup and on quit (even post-patch), but only one freeze on scene transition so far when playing.
I'd rate this as a solid "Buy" thus far -- it's not like we're swamped with cRPG's these days.
