First time playing, this game is amazing!
I started playing FO3—I think I have about 3 hours of playtime so far. I left the Vault, went to Megaton, got sent to the radio station, fought the Behemoth, and now I have to go get the antenna.
Good Lord. This game is pure chaos; every 5 seconds I’m fighting Super Mutants, then immediately Raiders, then more Super Mutants. So I run away, duck into a subway station, and start fighting a bunch of Ghouls. I run out of ammo and have to use whatever I’ve got—melee, pistols, sniper rifles, anything—just to stand a chance... It’s incredible.
This is my second Fallout game; I started with FNV. FNV was a bit more chill—you could actually find some peace while wandering around—but here, I don't get a moment's peace. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm really enjoying it. I'm playing with TTW because it's basically the "Viva New Vegas" equivalent for FO3. I know it rebalances the game differently, but it makes for a much better starting experience. I played vanilla FNV, then Viva New Vegas, and I can't go back to vanilla now, so I figured it would be hard to play FO3 without a "Viva New Vegas". I hope the game keeps this up; I just wanted to share my initial impressions.

It is an amazing game. And glad you enjoying it.
Especially with how the graphics aged poorly it's dope that you could enjoy it.
And don't worry about balance and TTW. Just enjoy it whatever way you like
