+ Dynamite is one of the first weapons you come across
+ Obsidian have focused much more on the story than Bethesda did with Fallout 3
+ VATS now includes a special attack for every weapon

+ You can get a portable controller for the laser platform and use it throughout the game
+ Lots of “grey areas” in terms of actions and dialogue – a combined reputation and morality system means everything you do has an effect on something in one way or another.
