I've borrowed a friends steam account and got around 10 hours into it... thus far the first 15-30 minutes was captivating.. after that it felt much like FO3 with town building, focused a good 1 1/2 hours on figuring out things and how it tied together.
It looks great, the modding system is fantastic... however I think I'll await GOTY edition before I buy it outright myself.
Sure 10 hours isn't much... but after the first 15-30 minutes of deviating through sidequests and not the main story line, exploring the area finding out what is there... there isn't a HUGE grab thus far.
At this stage I personally give it a 6/10... will see how it is in 6 months and after the first DLC... and cost there-in.

Ugh...those "reviews." I'm 30 hours in. This is definitely a solid 7.5/10. The dialogue system is awful as well as the lack of skill checks, definitely its biggest flaw, but good combat, exploration and crafting system. If you want a good role playing game this is disappointing as hell, but as an open world shooter with a decent base building system it is enjoyable.
I must admit I was hoping for an RPG and all I seem to do is get tasked to go to a new place and kill all the mobs there, plus I'll have to kill any along the way. Are other people not finding that as repetitive as hell, seeing as the majority of the world looks the same?
