Exploration...
Cleaning every stereotypical dungeon in hope you find something interesting or amusing (and most of time I didn't) was pain in the arse. I wanted to explore every corner of Capital Wasteland and I guess I did explore at least 95 percent of it, but good ideas were far between. It was too big for it's own good. If it was full of interesting places, I wouldn't mind the size.

bioshock had rpg elements ?
fo3 certainly has more rpg than bs but far less good shooting than stalker. fo3 is fail in all departements except the place itself and some of the sidequests are pretty nice. fooling around with ppl never gets old, too. I would say the only thing working in FO3 is the open-world/sandbox aspect. I love to explore and wander around. once betheseda shines through in lousy writing and bad HUD it gets boring and bad again. combat is ridiculous, you get too overpowered much too quick.
The RPG component in Fallout 3 is quite decent, with well branched skills and genuinely interesting perks, though yes, it tends to be rather poorly balanced between low and high level. But the action/shooting component suffers less from the effects of a poorly balanced skill tree than it does from other problems that illustrate Beth's lack of familiarity with and understanding of how a good and comprehensive shooter plays. Lack of weapon cycling, lack of leaning, unresponsive jump command, context-unresponsive change weapon command, are the first issues that come to mind, and they will provide plenty of frustration while playing regardless of how obvious they are.

You'll definitely get burned out from the repetition if you try to explore all or most of the map in one go, but I don't think you're really meant to do that.
