It's definitely one of the most convincing game worlds ever conceived, along with Shenmue in my opinion.

I'd say it is an issue. I didn't find the exploration partically rewarding or fun experience. Everywhere you went you ended up in a dungeon, killing monsters. I wish you could've been able to fast travel from those locations. In the end I was so sick of dungeons, I just stopped entering them.
Most of Fallout3's content is dead wasteland, dungeons and lemonstands/mudhuts inhabitated by three people. To me the environments are anything but well-crafted, mostly they don't make sense. Citizens of wasteland must have become the most un-cooperative people in the world, because not a single believable human city with adults really exists in Fallout3, unlike in it's precessors. (Sure, few poor towns and shelters exist)
