Fallout 3...

I have it, and so far, I'm very disappointed. I can't stand how inaccurate weapons can be (I'll have my crosshair directly on the enemy, fire, and miss. WTF?). I know some of it's based on skills, but that's just retarded. The story's boring me right now, too. I'm hoping I'll enjoy it more once I get a bit further, or else it will have been a waste of $60.

Have you played Oblivion? It's more of an RPG and less of an FPS, and VATS eliminates the need to manually aim in many situations. In those that you'd be better off aiming manually, yes, it is based on your skills. You can explore just about everything you can see, and playing in a post-apocalyptic DC is awesome. The action is certainly not like a Halo, let's say, but it wasn't intended to be.

Yes, I've played and enjoyed Oblivion. VATS is cool, but once you run out of action points for it, you're stuck firing your weapon manually and missing 90% of your shots. I know it's not meant to be like Halo (not a big shooter fan anyway), but would it've killed Bethesda to do implement some form of aim-assist for people with crappy aiming skills? I'll keep playing, and see if my opinion changes. Hopefully, it does.
 
I loves me some Fallout 3. I have played through as a good char (with GUNS!) and an evil bastard (Melee!!!) now and both run throughs were fun as hell. Hooray for Bethesda! (though I will say I've randomly crashed ~4 times in the 40+ hours I've put into it... no biggie)
