So it is pretty fun. Even my wife liked it a lot despite knowing very little about Fallout. Its a long game, took a good 4-5 hours but it flew by
The game cleverly incorporates pretty much every aspect of the video game in one way or another, and the quests and encounters are fun because most of them give you options about how to complete them based on your characters strengths.
My only real complaint is that the ending of the game is underwhelming. A player has to build up enough influence to take over the wasteland before another play or before one of the factions reaches full strength. This influence is kept hidden from other players though so you dont know if someone is close and the game just suddenly ends by someone abruptly announcing that they have won.
The combat is neat though and playing with a nonfallout player was funny. My wife kept referring to the mutated insect and deathclaw symbols as Pestilence and Ram Demon
9/10 will play again
Can you tame a deathclaw?
Not sure, but there are a lot of companions you can have ---
If they drag you through the mud, it doesnt change whats in your blood
