To many posters here Fallout 3 can't add to the series, only detract from it. Which is a shame because there are things it does much better than the originals. It adds a new level of physical immersion the originals never had. It has a vastly superior exploration side (arguably by far the...

I think they would argue that they indeed have. Of course if you choose to define "true" in a wildly different way than they are, you may come to another conclusion.

And Fallout 3 is a post apocalyptic role playing game, just like Fallout 1 and 2 was. But if you feel more comfortable calling it a spinoff or not a true sequel, I think you can go ahead and do so. It's just a semantic issue and not worth wasting time on anyway.

Yeah, big surprise that the company that have made first person RPGs for ages choose to make Fallout into a first person RPG. I can understand you guys hoping otherwise, but that was hardly realistic at any point once the licence was Bethesdas.

I find it interesting that these posts filled with general hate are inverted versions of the uncritical celebrations they claim to hate. Neither are objective but filled with nonsense. But filled with self righteousness the posters of course miss that and think they are keen observers of what...

There should be a shopping cart where homeless people could store their stuff.

I guess you have to make a choice what you find is most annoying, you taking too little damage on normal or you having to use too many bullets on hard and set it at the level which is least annoying. It does seem like playing on normal would be the best course of action from reading your...
