I do not think they need "great" voice actors, and especially do not need to waste money on celebrity actors (which they will do anyway). They just need to hire experienced directors who are gamers themselves and understand how players react to the talking heads within the game.

Of course, that being said, Ron Perlman is now a fallout trailer icon. Although they only have to pay him for a short 30 second or less monologue, and not for days or weeks of studio time. The cheaper labor would be supplying the NPC voices and their studio time would be at a fraction of the labor cost of a Patrick Stewart, for example.

To me, Fallout 3's voice acting was so bad, it detracted from the game. Mass Effect has VERY good voice acting. They probably won't improve much on the voice acting in New Vegas as they obviously don't need to cus it'll still sell a ton.
 
VATS and head shot.
And even though you may be tempted, dont put many points into small arms early on. You will find laser pistols and rifles soon enough and then you will wish you had put assloads of points into energy weapons.
If you dont like VATS, good luck. The game is seriously tough without it. Take perks that increase your AP and your accuracy & damage in VATS. You should have put 9 points into Agility at the beginning of the game, and go for the Agility bobblehead ASAP.
Agility gives you more AP. And stockpile items that give you an AP bonus, like Jet.
Do the quest that has you turn Sugar Bombs into the Ghoul in exchange for Ultra Jet.

And as already suggested, join the Nexus Forums and download mods from FalloutNexus.com. One of them adds a quest that points to all the bobbleheads in the game. Some other rebalance combat if thats what you want.

Which, if any mods can you use on the PS3?

I like using VATS, but my agility...uh oh...I mostly pumped strength.
 
Ok, so I found a Ripper (chainsaw) and it makes enemies MUCH easier to kill. Money is slightly more abundant since I'm not using as much ammo, I found out sleeping in a bed reduces the need for medkits, and I figured out how to repair items.

Is there a list of the quests/areas ranked by difficulty somewhere?
