It is the best one as far as controls, game play, and things you can do.
I am 20+ hours into my character and I am only a level 11. Bare in mind I have spent most of that building my settlement. Settlements are completely optional. So far the story and side missions have been fun.
If you can still get it, the xbox one version comes with FO3 free which is BC on XboxOne.
I find what really helps if I should go into a building or not is using the perk that show weakness of the enemy in v.a.t.s. This also gives the level of the enemy so you know if they are a higher level then you.
Paul there is a second mission I have found for the Covega plant. It was a pain in the ass the first time through. Went through again at level 25 and flew through the place with no power armor.
This is Lynn and Terry. They are addicted to chems. In my second play through Lynn will be a chem addicted, melee specialist in search for her son. Lynn and Mama Murphy gonna get fuuucked up!
