Fallout 3 is more about the little stories than the big one... Jacob Send a noteboard - 20/01/2011 01:55:24 PM
The main story arc isn't all that impressive. But, the point of Fallout 3 is that the mainstory is mostly what in already happened as much is what is currently happening. Little discoveries while searching to world, or computer logs, or audio recordings, odd little things in the ruins. All those things added up to create a compelling and captivating setting and interaction.

I have the Witcher waiting at home for me to install next week Stephen - 13/01/2011 08:59:45 PM 1909 Views
Hm. I have it as a project to improve my French, but I found the gameplay pretty boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:38:15 AM 2052 Views
If you find The Witcher boring, you'll likely feel the same about Baldur's Gate 2, IWD, etc. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:07:12 PM 2006 Views
All right. I'll give it a shot, then. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:17:17 PM 1128 Views
Make sure you get the enhanced edition, or whatever it's called. Aemon - 14/01/2011 09:56:56 PM 2026 Views
It's funny, that, because it's based on a critically acclaimed book series. Legolas - 15/01/2011 01:13:39 PM 2023 Views
I've heard that, yeah. I just don't think enough of it made it into the game. (minor spoilers) Aemon - 15/01/2011 08:12:34 PM 2025 Views
The thing is, what works in a book doesn't necessarily work in a game. lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:15:10 PM 2110 Views
Wow, I guess you touched a nerve, Legolas. New pet peeve discovered! *NM* lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:22:37 PM 1147 Views
I don't have time to do this justice, but I'll make a brief comment. Aemon - 18/01/2011 09:30:20 PM 2051 Views
Did you read his post? lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 09:59:21 PM 2030 Views
Yeah, that was one of the things I didn't have time to respond to. Aemon - 18/01/2011 10:31:46 PM 2002 Views
Re: Yeah, that was one of the things I didn't have time to respond to. lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 10:43:20 PM 2092 Views
So I just realized I sparked a bit of a controversy here... I should check this board more often. Legolas - 25/01/2011 10:28:34 PM 1983 Views

Try Divinity 2: Dragonknight Saga. Dan - 13/01/2011 10:38:45 PM 2213 Views
Do yourself a favor... A Deathwatch Guard - 13/01/2011 10:39:41 PM 1957 Views
Everything is the opposite of Morrowind, though. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:37:42 AM 2134 Views
Just go ahead and shoot yourself now A Deathwatch Guard - 14/01/2011 07:51:06 PM 1983 Views
...you were so right. Fable is an MMORPG without the other people. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:35:46 AM 2015 Views
...dislikes...Fallout...3....*dies* *NM* ironclad - 13/01/2011 11:34:10 PM 1129 Views
It was boring. Really, really boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:36:41 AM 2037 Views
I'm with you, brother! beetnemesis - 14/01/2011 05:51:41 AM 2019 Views
awwww...I loved Fallout 3 Fox and Ravens - 14/01/2011 03:37:51 PM 1955 Views
No... Jacob - 14/01/2011 03:47:22 PM 2186 Views
It's minecraft with guns. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:23 PM 1135 Views
And without a destructible environment. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:52 PM 1938 Views
Yet... Jacob - 15/01/2011 01:27:28 AM 1939 Views
I enjoyed its gameplay more than Fallout. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:40:06 AM 2046 Views
The best story I've ever seen... A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 05:01:47 AM 2019 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 2069 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 1891 Views
"It's minecraft with guns." Ouch. Come on. Fallout3 was better than that. *NM* ianski - 19/01/2011 04:09:30 AM 1105 Views
Coming from me, actually, that's higher praise than it deserves. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:54:57 AM 2009 Views
I got it for like $25, I'd say that's about what Fallout 3 is worth beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 05:09:34 PM 2134 Views
You got Fallout 3 or New Vegas for $25 Jacob - 19/01/2011 06:12:26 PM 1920 Views
Fallout 3. Haven't played New Vegas. *NM* beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:41:24 PM 1115 Views
Jacob - 19/01/2011 09:01:18 PM 2002 Views
Wait. You haven't played it yet? ianski - 20/01/2011 03:46:17 AM 2014 Views
Well said ironclad - 20/01/2011 08:43:25 AM 1945 Views
Fallout 3 is more about the little stories than the big one... Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:55:24 PM 2076 Views
Precisely. *NM* ironclad - 20/01/2011 07:48:21 PM 1120 Views
Both games are great. Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:56:14 PM 1970 Views
Played Fallout 3, but not NV. Ghavrel - 20/01/2011 06:22:33 PM 1902 Views
I'm sure I'll be trying that new ianski - 21/01/2011 02:04:47 PM 2085 Views
Don't play Mass Effect 2 without playing Mass Effect 1. It's a much worse game. Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 06:43:16 PM 2021 Views
Yes, play ME1 first... but opinions vary about ME2. It did the most important things better, IMO. Zalis - 21/01/2011 11:57:26 PM 2086 Views
PC gaming is drying up. ianski - 22/01/2011 01:29:09 AM 1945 Views
That's true if gameplay is more important to you than story. Ghavrel - 22/01/2011 06:50:32 AM 2036 Views
ME1 wasn't even going to release on the PC initially, so I think we could be worse off. Zalis - 22/01/2011 03:27:05 PM 1894 Views
Fallout 3 was a post apocalyptic Oblivion. MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:02:28 AM 2062 Views
If you want a GREAT story, I would go for... MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:04:15 AM 2077 Views
I second the idea of Borderlands if you like loot-generating/diabloesque RPGs w/ others. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:09:29 PM 1984 Views
Played it. It was good. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:15:38 PM 1129 Views
the baldur's gate trilogy and the icewind dales *NM* Foxhead - 14/01/2011 09:32:32 AM 1055 Views
Icewind Dale has no story. Fanatic-Templar - 14/01/2011 07:19:15 PM 1965 Views
I'm surprised you liked Oblivion. Dan - 15/01/2011 12:47:24 AM 2088 Views
I liked Oblivion because it was the sequel to Morrowind. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:31:51 AM 1897 Views
Do you know about "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"? It will be released Nov 2011 *NM* Roland00 - 15/01/2011 04:52:13 AM 1071 Views
The trailer to that is so awesome A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 04:58:04 AM 1927 Views
It is a good teaser... Jacob - 18/01/2011 04:21:15 PM 1972 Views
I do. But after Oblivion, I refuse to buy into hype. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:34:49 AM 1945 Views
Final Fantasy 8. Nebhead - 18/01/2011 09:10:51 AM 2199 Views
That was the first FF I quit before even finishing, and consequently the last I played in the series Zalis - 18/01/2011 03:23:40 PM 1988 Views
I wouldn't even call JRPGs and Western RPGs the same genre, really. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 19/01/2011 02:45:17 PM 1028 Views
Like SVU and NCIS are both crime dramas, stylistic differences can remain under one genre umbrella. Zalis - 19/01/2011 03:11:41 PM 1971 Views
Yeah, I think I'm running into WRPG burnout. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:23:49 PM 2047 Views
Worth a shot. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/01/2011 06:07:23 PM 1109 Views
If you're going the Final Fantasy route, I'd recommend Final Fantasy Tactics. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 20/01/2011 06:36:02 PM 1054 Views
ianski - 21/01/2011 02:14:41 PM 1962 Views
The gameplay or the story? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/01/2011 06:24:06 AM 1086 Views
Gameplay is preventing me from playing this game. ianski - 23/01/2011 03:09:39 PM 2016 Views
Go SNES! FF6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound... beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:42:23 PM 1890 Views
I can agree to that. Fanatic-Templar - 19/01/2011 08:03:59 PM 2043 Views
A suggestion we can all agree on. Zalis - 19/01/2011 08:07:54 PM 2075 Views
Holy. Fanatic-Templar - 21/01/2011 08:17:35 PM 2050 Views
What do you think of Strategy RPGs? *NM* Roland00 - 20/01/2011 03:59:52 PM 1071 Views
wat *NM* Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 04:13:07 AM 977 Views
