Is it still worth playing?

Bethesda Game Studios' 2008 role playing game for Windows, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, directed by Todd Howard and set around Washington about 200 years after a nuclear war. You leave Vault 101 at 19 to find your father. It plays in first or third person, with seven SPECIAL attributes that affect 13 secondary skills and perks on level up. VATS pauses the action to target body parts, each attack costing Action Points. The open world has fast travel to discovered places through the Pip-Boy, and karma affects reactions and which companions you can recruit. Shacknews noted that quests offer good, evil and neutral approaches and that the wasteland can be explored without being forced. If you play it now, it is for an open world whose exploration is optional and whose quests respond to different approaches.
