Help me get re-aquianted

[ironsightsffs]

I've been playing quite a bit of Oblivion lately, with a large number of mods that make it a much better, less grindy experience. I previously played through FO3 a couple times and I remember really enjoying it at the time, but going from my heavily modded Oblivion to FO3 I find myself hating it immediately. I am trying to play a melee character, and I previously did this and had quite a good time with the chinese sword, but it seems like the game is so heavily stacked towards Small Guns (and the hunting rifle in particular) that from reading a FAQ on gamefaqs it sounds like this route is almost unplayable. I guess what I'm trying to get at is I need some mods to make this game better. I've looked at Arwen's FO3 overhaul but by my reading it looks like the part about having to eat and drink is not optional, and I'm looking to have as little tedious and boring stuff in my game as possible. I definitely want something that makes guns behave more like guns, tones down the auto-aim and just generally makes combat more exciting (and hopefully more tactical). It seems like there is no strategy at all to the FO3 combat compared to how the first 2 games really made you think to survive combat.

 

I guess my biggest issue with the game at this point is that I just hate the main story and especially the idea of Megaton. It is seriously the stupidest idea for a settlement ever. Even if there wasn't a nuke in the middle, it would still be a horrendously bad idea to build a settlement inside a crater. Maybe there is a mod that adds respawns for the bandits and super-mutants so I can just go around killing things and skip the MQ altogether.

 

Also is there a "intro to FO3 for Oblivion players" or something? It looks like waiting doesn't heal wounds and I know there are lots of other changes but I don't remember all that stuff now.
