HIGH Solid variety in the environments.
LOW Combat in the Creation Engine, without V.A.T.S., and with constant stuttering and lag.

HIGH Balanced perfectly between silliness and seriousness.

WTF Just about anything is possible, and I do mean anything.

HIGH Headshot!
LOW Online multiplayer is a ghost town.
WTF The Windjammers-as-a-fantasy-RPG structure.
HIGH Blowing enemies away with super attacks, then seeing the result from outer space.
LOW That’s one insufferably drawn-out story mode.
