By dodging I mean stutter stepping, though in the end the lack of enemy variety made that tactic pretty OP with a high speed stat. In DF/Oblivion/Skyrim you can try your luck on much tougher enemies by using jukes. I havent played much Morrowind but afaik you can either witness yourself slowly...

They removed features like player background giving perks affecting the level up scale. They removed other features like banking, renting rooms for extended durations. The combat got virtually dumbed down. In the first 2 games you had to click and swipe the mouse while actively dodging, in...

Id love to see you try to prove that.

It breaks my heart when people point the finger at Oblivion for dumbing down TES... its the 2nd best TES game even if its dumber. Morrowind started the dumbing down trend... theres been more dumbing down with Morrowind than Oblivion....

Well Norzan I think its time for a small historical lesson because Oblivion is NOT the game that started the dumbing down trend. If Oblivion is a 1 inch deep ocean then F3 is at least a 2-3 inches deep lake. Skyrim is just a wet surface. The guy did a great analysis but it felt more like F1 vs...

Sorry for hijacking this thread with F2 stuff... But about calling it OwG I feel like people are saying it in a diminishing manner, Oblivion brought so much QoL and technical improvements for the genre, and F3 improved it further. To me Oblivion is a symbol of polish and content hand crafted by...

In the end you people are proving that all a sequel needs to succeed is to look like its predecessor, no matter how awful it is. F2 did a continuity of the narrative but strayed pretty far away from the spirit of the original by showing a world being rebuilt rather than being adapted to survive...

Honestly even if you take out the combat in F3 and play it like a walking simulator its still a better sequel than F2. Sure they ruined combat but combat has never been the main focus in F1. Like people said its in the bottom tier in the turn based genre. To me the 1 most important factor for a...

I dont see how except for the gameplay change. Im damn glad Bethesda made F3 rather than some random low budget studio. If anything it brings an equal amount of good and bad. The New Vegas you people love so much wouldnt even exist if it wasnt for F3.

By background I mean Paradise Falls and the whole settlement. I think its better than a house made of junk with a Slaver's Guild sign outside and a single relevant NPC inside. @DarkCorp But I think its wrong to call it oblivion with guns in a diminishing manner like oblivion is a bad thing. I...

How many intelligent SMs are in F2 compared to F3? And to Gizmo, right so thats 1 part of the lore butchered. Though in action they provide enjoyable combat encounters, where in F2 they make you reload your save. Never when I encountered a SM in F3 did I ask myself ''Why wont this guy...

No point of bashing SMs in F3 if they are not so different than F2. Anyway plenty of raiders/scumbags who are actually intelligent beings are hostile and mindless in all fallouts, so I dont see the issue with SMs. Many human NPCs in F2 are dumber than a brahmin too

What exactly did they take from F2? They improved the slavers and made them credible people who dont put up a 'slavers guild' sign in front of their spot, or get a tattoo on the forehead

So basically F3 has 1 less intelligent SM than F2 therefore all SM's are mindless? Or F2 has 1 more intelligent SM therefore its SMs are intelligent? F2 just made a super-super mutant as antagonist because they couldnt come up with anything smarter?

I dont see the issues there. In F2 SMs are also mindless since you mostly see them in random encounters and they attack on sight, same for some ghouls in F1. They added a few talking ones too. What about the way F2 brought the dumbest slavers ever, those who put up a big 'Slaver's Guild' sign...

I like radturtles.

The open world design is a big plus, its content quality can be arguable.

The similarities are visible in the technical design mostly. Many assets are reused with a new paint job, like the overseer's secret passage was also in Oblivion if you take a close look. Part of the soundtrack was also borrowed. They reused the quest marker system. They kept most location...

It is indeed Oblivion with guns but it is done on a smaller scale and offers more overall QoL. It also has a much better setting than the medieval fantasy of Oblivion. Less quantity but higher quality, better dialogue and combat. Oblivion was a great theme park game and being 'like Oblivion' is...

Why not just accept the criticism rather than dismiss it. This is quite hilarous.
