Impressive - can't wait to start. I must say that the graphics are as impressive in game play as I have seen in the reviews. The game is new, yet retains much of what I really enjoyed in FO3

Man, after watching another video I feel that it will be fun just to wander through the old buildings and see the worn out old junk laying around. The detail I saw was excellent, and almost like rummaging through an "antiques" read that "junk" store.
I watched MKIceAndFire's vid for about one hour. Enough to see that it is very much like FO3. I used to play the living daylights out of FO3 and modded some stuff on my own. However, I didn't feel excited or anything watching that vid. I think I have grown out of that type of game. However, at least I got a game that keeps me playing. I have been extremely happy with GTAV online (the single player story was a lot of fun but online with friends is just better) and I surpassed 2,300 hours gaming time. :-D
Yeah, the only really new thing is how you can build things now. You can make your own fortress if you want, and I guess invite any of the NPCs to stay there, possibly helping you with stuff, I think. the early videos coming out don't show much of this yet, as it's a later game mechanic, I think. But you can collect scrap right off the bat and start building if you want, you just don't have a lot to build with yet, so early in the game.
Here's a new video on crafting and building a settlement:

I think I'm going to really enjoy this complete side game :-X
The creating settlements part of the game almost feels like an apocalyptic SimCity
