NOTE: I have attempted to post this twice. For some reason it isn't showing up... I hope I don't double post. Apologies in advance. Well I beat it. I don't wanna base my criticism (or praise) on the game based on its fidelity to previous installments, so I am just gonna break it down into...

Really? I hate bethesda's games. They have all been boring, soulless, screen-savers. No plot, no characters, and an unoriginal derivative setting. Fallout 3 is so much better than their other games. Most of TES is essentially as dull as EverQuest without the social aspect.

Moira = Sarah Palin Wannabe Soooooo annoying.

Well ya, FFIII US = FF6 Jap. FFII US = FF4 Jap. Dang naming schemes ;)

I dunno, there were lots of classics with very good stories. Final Fantasy II has the best FF story IMHO. Crono Trigger was phenomenal! And quite non-linear for a JRPG as was Final Fantasy III. Kefka being one of the all time most evil VG villains :) But that's SNES generation... Still...

Really? Because, even tho I am enjoying the game very much, it clearly isn't as sophisticated with its interactions as fallout 1 or 2 were. Case in point, no skilldex, no left click to examine things more closely, no using specific items on other objects to see what will happen etc. Also...

That's not fair. Some excellent, challenging, and unforgiving console games: The NES Megaman games, The 2D Metroid Series (esp. the more recent GBA games), The 2D Mario Games, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 2 (4 jap), Final Fantasy 3 (6 jap), Blaster Master, The Zelda Series (tho the...

NOW THAT would have been original! Bethesda should have made it 20 odd years after the war or even 90 (like the first fallout) and had it set somewhere in Europe. Or is that too STALKER-ish? heheh Seriously tho, that's what they should have done. UPDATE: Still playing Fallout 3 and...

Except that the computers featured in the game are clearly not vacume-tube machines. They look like like Apple IIe's.

Ya, one thing that threw me for a loop was how you can completely throw out Charisma and Endurance to min/max your character as those skills are pretty much useless in the game. You can't really play a bard/thief type character like you could in F1-F2. The older games let you talk your way...

Well, I hope not. I am enjoying this "honeymoon" period. Seriously, when you are out in the wasteland, just you, and your gun. It does make for some excellent visuals and immersion. I am of the school that graphics don't make a good game, especially so in RPGs, but this games graphics do a...

Ya, in these respects, Fallout 1 and 2 were superior. Fallout 1 was roughly ~90 years after and we had shacks and dumpy towns. Fallout 2 was like ~150 years after, and while there were still dumpy towns, you had bigger cities springing up with actual architecture etc. Not to mention governments...

Hey All, I recently began playing Fallout 3 and am enjoying the game greatly. I was afraid that it wouldn't live up to its predecessors and end up being another soulless Oblivion clone. Boy was I wrong! In any case, there are a few things that nag at me: 1) This is 200 years after...
