Yes, I get all these vertical lines and "double view"
fixed it, I wanted to switch from widescreen to normal and noticed it was set on 16:10 instead on 16:9
that fixed it

You didn't miss anything.
Like I've said, game is fucking short.
Check that Fallout wiki for a list of known quests. If those are all the quests in the game, then I've done them all on my first play through.
Also shitty weapon selection.

There's a ton of shit in the game that isn't a 'quest' in some fucking walkthrough. If that's all you want to do then that's your choice but you are missing most of the fun.
But meh, I don't care if you miss it. I got over 150 hours out of the game so far and still haven't seen it all.. and now that mods and DLC are coming it's going to be even better.

In about a year or so the game will be fantastic with user added content, right now it's just good though, and it cannot in it's current state measure up to a game like Fallout 2 with the "megamod pack". It is of course 'better' than vanilla Oblivion, but doesn't come close to having as much content and variations in the choices possible that Oblivion with a ton of mods gives.
Luckily this is just a matter of time before we'll see the same thing done with Fallout 3.

Game is not short at all. I'm nearly 50hrs in and have done maybe 60% of main quests. There are shitload of locations to discover. And they are not all copy-pasted dungeons and forts like in Oblivion.

It will be a long time indeed. Pretty much the whole dialogue will need a rewrite, preferrably with a totally new main quest. I also have the feeling that Oblivion's engine simply can't handle the branching dialogues and alternative plotlines like Fallout did.
And compared to Fallout's, Oblivion: Fallout has really small map. Can't fit that much there in the end. At least without totally breaking the immersion.

Game engine doesn't have anything to do with dialogue options. It's just that having more options increases the dialog material exponentially ... and the voice over costs as well.
It was all fine and dandy in the original fallout games which were 99% text-only, but now ...

Hmm, I spent at least 65 hours in the game before I felt I had exhausted most of the areas, side-quests and mini-quests. The main quest is like 20% of the game, and Fallout 3 was basically designed to be an explorable world with side-quests, stories and exploration making up the bulk of the game. It's unfortunate that you can't continue playing when you've finished the main quest since things happen so fast towards the end, but I had a save from just before I did the last bit of the main quest and spent 30-40 hours doing tons of other things (bobblehead hunt, exploration and side-questing).

well they should've let the game continue after the main quest is done just like oblivion , because like this I don't see how any DLC is gonna work properly ,"load any save and go to your pip boy" isn't really a good idea
I wasted dozens of hours on oblivion , this was just too quick

Well the 3rd DLC for Fallout 3 will let you play after the main quest.

And the first one is new eyecolors for only 29.99$. Second will be new weapon models! Or something like that.

I explored a vast portion of the wasteland. Only place I didn't go to explore too much was DC because there was no point to do so apart for the quests.
Did all the quests, and did all the little non journal quests as well. Even found Argyle.
Plot was not fleshed out. Main quest ended so soon and it didn't really give you an antagonist. With how quick things were resolved, the Enclave just felt like a stand in put on stage to give time for the main villain to get his make up done.
Spent 12 hours straight scouring the wasteland and every location I came across for a non scoped magnum and a regular good old fashioned double barrel shotgun. Found none and I'm ashamed to say it took me that long to realize those weren't in the game.
So yeah, game is short.
Unless the DC area has somehow has loads of extensive quests I didn't find. But I doubt it. It's really just a really huge and poorly designed dungeon.
In fact I'm quite annoyed that they kept on building up the supermutant presence in DC and just how dangerous it was when it never really factored into the over all plot. Find the reason for the supermutants and tell it to good old Lyons and what does he do? Absolutely nothing.
Things were never fleshed out like the characters and the like. You had tons of non helmet wearing named BoS NPCs, so I was expecting we would bandy up sometime after I was a Brotherhood initiate and then we could trade life stories while kicking super mutant ass. But did that ever happen? No. As far as their purpose served, they could have just been 'Brother Hood Knight A' and 'Brotherhood Knight B' and nothing drastic would change. So really, why even bother giving them uniq... oh wait a minute. What's that? THE DLC LETS YOU JOIN THE BoS AND BANDY UP WITH THEM AND TRADE LIFE STORIES AND PUT AN END TO THE SUPER MUTANT THREAT AS YOU PLAY FURTHER IN THE GAME?!
Oh, I see how it is.
Then maybe next year we'll finally see the regular shotgun as well as all the other guns they left out.

Well this is how my game currently looks, if you've stood here before you'll notice the new high res textures on everything 
I also have traits back, power armor's fixed, higher fixed level cap "no messing about with console", invisible karma system "you can only see if you're good or bad on npc's reaction to you"
Autoaim removed, no exploding bodies, higher damage on weapons "including those used by npc's", new part system repair "allows you to repair even wierd stuff like the unique power armor", armor weight.
New explosion system causing more damage in a wider radius, nudity, killable children, able to build your own robots "through a perk with 3 levels", longer range on weapons, correct names on weapons, gauss rifle "with proper correct model"
All armors clothing and weapons retextured with high res textures, clutter high res textures, new skin textures, fixed physics system for no more bouncy stuff "primarily grenades", no bobblehead stats, descriptions on all items "as in old fallout games".
Fixed ui "for a more pleasant pc experience", no game ending after mainquest "you can continue to play and witness some of the consequences of your actions".
That just shows the power and willingness of the modding community to really improve this game above and beyond what Bethesda intended, and the game has just been out for a month, imagine what it will look like in a years time
And a few before and after pictures.
Even the nuka cola vending machine got a new high res texture
New better inventory with item description
And my selected two traits for this character

Epsilon eh eh nice xD
Anybory know how to enter in Vault 87 or its not possible?
That place is full radiation, like +400 and the radiation suit can handle only whit +30, any ideias?
Edit: little search on google can find this
| Spoiler: | Fawkes is found after fighting through various floors. She remains sealed in a test chamber and appears to have been locked in this room for almost 200 years. However, the main entrance is flooded with radiation that increases exponentially closer to the entrance. Entrance is possible by traveling through Murder Pass after Mayor MacCready opens the gate for you. Another possible access point is to ask Joseph to turn on the computer terminal and hacking the computer. These dialogue/solution options are not present in the game until after Vault 87 is referred to in the main quest Picking Up The Trail.

Game engine has everything to do with _how manageable_ branching dialogue options are. It takes quite a bit of work to make a versatile scripting engine. And from what I've seen so far in Oblivion and it's mods, I've the feeling that this hasn't been main focus in the engine design.
Dialogue in Oblivion
Options A, B, C -> Result D, no matter the choice
Dialogue in Fallout's
Options A, B, C, D, (E, F, G, H, I, J, K) -> ?
See: http://falloutmods.wikia.com/wiki/Dialogue_Training
I'm presuming that the same can probably be achieved with Oblivion's engine as well, but it won't be easy. Evident by lack of proper branching dialogue in both Oblivion and Fallout 3.

I just installed gta 4 and wanted to play fallout again....
Upon startup I get this login from windows live... never had that
I logged in automaticly with a login I used for gears of war (I played this on my old pc). So no saves......
I just logged of and could play again, but how is this possible?
I never saw a windows live thing on fallout 3 before (maybe reloaded fixed this?) but after installing gta I logged in using a name I never used on this comp before....
