I don't think you'll play as the same person from Fallout 3 because it has absolutely no relation to Fallout 3. BUT if you make the same character again, then I suppose we could pretend.

New Vegas is on my to get list. I loved how Fallout 3 played, and literally spent a few hundred hours on it across many different characters, so I know I'll like New Vegas. I'm really looking forward to checking out Hard Core mode, and having a new place to explore (exploring is all I did in Fallout 3). =D

I've heard some negative reviews about it though, but I only think that matters if you're a complete graphics whore.

Maybe some of us folks in the UK are a bunch of snooty buggers, but I thought Fallout 3 looked pretty damn good when it came out. Also, we have a few months to go, and I see no reason why whatever OPM have seen can't be improved until release.

Anyone else gonna buy the Special Edition?
