Thoghts on Fallout 3

Just got Fallout 3 and play a little bit yesterday. Most of the people and game critics gave it high score and high praise...but for some reason I find some of its features annoying, and they stand out quite a bit. I don't know why most people don't have my kind of problems with this type of game (Fallout 3, Oblivion etc). I actually played Oblivion before as well, and don't like it that much. But I thought I gave Fallout 3 another try because it just looks so good. It's actually better than Oblivion so far but still I find the following things annoying. Most people I imagine will disagree because I think they are actually personal preferences in which you can't have one way and the other at the same time.

1. No immediate access to mini-map: to see the mini-map, you have to bring up Pip-Boy. But couldn't they just put the map on the t0p-right hand corner? Yea, it's not as real or authentic, but it seems more convenient to me. Because I find it quite disorienting especially when I am in a new area.
2. NPC walk too far away and too often: I notice NPC just go around doing their business etc. Most of them stick in certain area but still there are time I wonder...couldn't they just make all of them sit tight in one place? Yea, again the realism will suffer, but it's more convenient if I can just see whom I want to speak with at exact location.
3. 3rd Person view gameplay looks bad: or at least it doesn't play as well as 1st person view. The animation is bad and the aiming is kind of weird I think. That bothers me a bit because I like to see my character most of the time, and 1st person view makes me dizzy sometimes.
4. Health Recover difficult: Again it's a realism/convenience trade-off. Yea, I imagine in real wasteland it's tough to get a good rest or eat some good food. But come on...why gives us a hard time just to recover some health. I can't even find a bed in the first town right away that I can sleep in, and the doc is just way too expensive. Other ways come with side effect like radiation...it's just a lot of headache in my opinion.

Maybe I just like simpler, dumber and faster pace game like Diablo 2...yea, most likely that's the case.

UPDATE: Although I still find those things annoying, the game become more enjoyable once I got a hang of it. The VATS, especially, is a new feature that I enjoy. Also the game let you save any time so it's good for "experimenting," and being able to stop playing at any moment is good for a "busy" guy like me, ha.
