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 1271 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 1394 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 1378 Views
All right. I'll give it a shot, then. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:17:17 PM 834 Views
Make sure you get the enhanced edition, or whatever it's called. Aemon - 14/01/2011 09:56:56 PM 1408 Views
It's funny, that, because it's based on a critically acclaimed book series. Legolas - 15/01/2011 01:13:39 PM 1404 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 1344 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 1433 Views
Wow, I guess you touched a nerve, Legolas. New pet peeve discovered! *NM* lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:22:37 PM 840 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 1389 Views
Did you read his post? lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 09:59:21 PM 1383 Views
Yeah, that was one of the things I didn't have time to respond to. Aemon - 18/01/2011 10:31:46 PM 1360 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 1433 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 1249 Views

Try Divinity 2: Dragonknight Saga. Dan - 13/01/2011 10:38:45 PM 1550 Views
Do yourself a favor... A Deathwatch Guard - 13/01/2011 10:39:41 PM 1363 Views
Everything is the opposite of Morrowind, though. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:37:42 AM 1486 Views
Just go ahead and shoot yourself now A Deathwatch Guard - 14/01/2011 07:51:06 PM 1367 Views
...you were so right. Fable is an MMORPG without the other people. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:35:46 AM 1382 Views
...dislikes...Fallout...3....*dies* *NM* ironclad - 13/01/2011 11:34:10 PM 815 Views
It was boring. Really, really boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:36:41 AM 1430 Views
I'm with you, brother! beetnemesis - 14/01/2011 05:51:41 AM 1396 Views
awwww...I loved Fallout 3 Fox and Ravens - 14/01/2011 03:37:51 PM 1314 Views
No... Jacob - 14/01/2011 03:47:22 PM 1534 Views
It's minecraft with guns. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:23 PM 817 Views
And without a destructible environment. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:52 PM 1312 Views
Yet... Jacob - 15/01/2011 01:27:28 AM 1317 Views
I enjoyed its gameplay more than Fallout. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:40:06 AM 1389 Views
The best story I've ever seen... A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 05:01:47 AM 1377 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 1413 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 1234 Views
"It's minecraft with guns." Ouch. Come on. Fallout3 was better than that. *NM* ianski - 19/01/2011 04:09:30 AM 802 Views
Coming from me, actually, that's higher praise than it deserves. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:54:57 AM 1366 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 1474 Views
You got Fallout 3 or New Vegas for $25 Jacob - 19/01/2011 06:12:26 PM 1311 Views
Fallout 3. Haven't played New Vegas. *NM* beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:41:24 PM 807 Views
Jacob - 19/01/2011 09:01:18 PM 1363 Views
Wait. You haven't played it yet? ianski - 20/01/2011 03:46:17 AM 1381 Views
Well said ironclad - 20/01/2011 08:43:25 AM 1323 Views
Fallout 3 is more about the little stories than the big one... Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:55:24 PM 1408 Views
Precisely. *NM* ironclad - 20/01/2011 07:48:21 PM 799 Views
Both games are great. Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:56:14 PM 1322 Views
Played Fallout 3, but not NV. Ghavrel - 20/01/2011 06:22:33 PM 1291 Views
I'm sure I'll be trying that new ianski - 21/01/2011 02:04:47 PM 1455 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 1399 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 1427 Views
PC gaming is drying up. ianski - 22/01/2011 01:29:09 AM 1325 Views
That's true if gameplay is more important to you than story. Ghavrel - 22/01/2011 06:50:32 AM 1428 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 1258 Views
Fallout 3 was a post apocalyptic Oblivion. MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:02:28 AM 1423 Views
If you want a GREAT story, I would go for... MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:04:15 AM 1420 Views
I second the idea of Borderlands if you like loot-generating/diabloesque RPGs w/ others. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:09:29 PM 1350 Views
Played it. It was good. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:15:38 PM 820 Views
the baldur's gate trilogy and the icewind dales *NM* Foxhead - 14/01/2011 09:32:32 AM 759 Views
Icewind Dale has no story. Fanatic-Templar - 14/01/2011 07:19:15 PM 1356 Views
I'm surprised you liked Oblivion. Dan - 15/01/2011 12:47:24 AM 1419 Views
I liked Oblivion because it was the sequel to Morrowind. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:31:51 AM 1256 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 770 Views
The trailer to that is so awesome A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 04:58:04 AM 1302 Views
It is a good teaser... Jacob - 18/01/2011 04:21:15 PM 1348 Views
I do. But after Oblivion, I refuse to buy into hype. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:34:49 AM 1348 Views
Final Fantasy 8. Nebhead - 18/01/2011 09:10:51 AM 1505 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 1375 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 753 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 1297 Views
Yeah, I think I'm running into WRPG burnout. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:23:49 PM 1397 Views
Worth a shot. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/01/2011 06:07:23 PM 783 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 758 Views
ianski - 21/01/2011 02:14:41 PM 1344 Views
The gameplay or the story? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/01/2011 06:24:06 AM 792 Views
Gameplay is preventing me from playing this game. ianski - 23/01/2011 03:09:39 PM 1403 Views
Go SNES! FF6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound... beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:42:23 PM 1278 Views
I can agree to that. Fanatic-Templar - 19/01/2011 08:03:59 PM 1415 Views
A suggestion we can all agree on. Zalis - 19/01/2011 08:07:54 PM 1394 Views
Holy. Fanatic-Templar - 21/01/2011 08:17:35 PM 1386 Views
What do you think of Strategy RPGs? *NM* Roland00 - 20/01/2011 03:59:52 PM 760 Views
wat *NM* Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 04:13:07 AM 669 Views
