You don't understand? There's hundreds of pages, go lurk for a bit.

To be fair, a computer program that controls your emotions is a little out of their depths. maybe the game was just shit. I imagine you're a young fellow, you play games casually. Think you're a hardcore gamer but you're afraid of any title that might be older than yourself. So, you sit there in a haze, probably leaning on a beanbag, with an awkward look on your face as you tell yourself you're having a good time, when really you know the game's shit and your're trying to defend it, even to yourself. You didn't come here because you liked the game, you came here because you didn't know how to feel about it, got here, found the site too harsh.


You obviously know WHY we hate it, as the reasons are often in the same topic. Stop looking for a attention.

Yes, and more specifically, this post is the one that actually drove me to sign up and reply, after I was done laughing:

Young love aside, NJ, it was Fallout 1/2's superb writing and depth that made it an immense, unforgettable experience. Beside the many, many technical errors that make us dislike Fallout 3, it is the shallow nature of its creative composition and seemingly-half-assed presentation (and the arrogance to allow a half-assed product to share the label of masterpieces) that makes original Fallout fans dislike it.

You give Fallout 3 the awesome writing, story and quest options, and better roleplaying mechanics that the first 2 had - but you keep Fallout 3's graphics.....then you have the makings of a great game. A game where the graphics are so good, but a great game nonetheless.

Everyone comes here thinking we have beef only because of the engine that Bethesda uses. I, for one, don't give a shit anymore. We got over our Fallout: First Person issues a long time ago.

Like I've said countless times before, what we hate is the fact that they've turned Fallout 3 into a crappy hybrid shooter. And the writing was horrible by any standards.

Don't forget the voice acting...that book bitch's voice was unbearable. 'Oh golly gee! I'm sorry that little mister landmine hurt you!'

The impression I got was that Moira was purposely made obnoxious.

That probably would have been more obviously had the rest of the characters not been just as annoying.

Did seem like it could have been the same voice actor. Or at least a relative.
