@HipHopBeats: Well, you're right about how the game begins: you head South, then East, then North. But you'll see how much it opens up once you start heading North after Nipton, you can do all sorts of things. I don't wanna spoil anything so I won't, but once you make it to Vegas you can choose between so many paths. You can stay in the Vegas area doing tons of side quests including some pretty dark/terrible ones, or you ignore it and work for the NCR, or you can aimlessly wander around the wastes. It's all good.
Also, get the DLCs for the game, especially Old World Blues. That is the best DLC I've ever played on any game, it's hilarious and thrilling - it has an ungodly huge fight hidden on it somewhere that's a blast to try to win.
There are so many good ways to play the game when it comes to fighting. I like explosives and melee weapons combo the best, it's as fun as it is awesome. It's also a great idea to start pumping up your Science early, it's helpful so often in important situations.
Start the game over if you want, and if you go explosives don't take the convicts out at the jail compound early. Let 'em hang around so you can keep getting free dynamite, so don't help Goodsprings at the beginning either and become hostile to them. You can always go back and save the town later once you have access to better explosives and wanna wipe all the convicts out for the XP.
Good luck bro, the game is great and you'll learn to love it if you decide to play through it one more time the right way. The story is really good and unfolds however you play it - good, bad, or neutral - whatever. Have fun...
