    That's retarded. Just set the next game(s) on regions that have been completely devastated, the US is big enough that they don't have to reboot the whole setting just so they can use the same are again.

    They did some things right, though.

    The Tenpenny Tower quest is good in spirit and I appreciate that things take an unexpected turn, but their handling of it was pretty retarded in all fairness. Especially since you get bad karma for killing the asshole who just masscacred the entire tower.

    When the ghouls slaughter everyone after the cohabitation ending I was like "OMG IT IS FALLOUT!" and then that feeling never came back.

    In contrast I got that feeling every 10 minutes or so in New Vegas. Basically whenever I wasn't shooting shit.

    Yeah, I mean ol' Caesar conquered 86 tribes in Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico quite recently (between 10 and 34 years before FO:NV) suggesting that the place was pretty primitive compared to the civilization in California (the NCR was founded 95 years before FO:NV).

    Just put a Fallout game in a remote location that these big civilizations haven't reached to yet, and you can play with homemade spears and salvaged 10mm pistols again without having to worry about an army of 10 000 trained soldiers with mass-produced battle armor and assault rifles living next door.

    The two alternate universes merge again when the Red Chinese nuke the country until it glows. That is what they share. Both stories end the same way including the reality we are in now.

    The Tenpenny Tower quest is get go instruction of "how to write shitty derp quests".
    I mean dude is fucking sitting there all day long and he wait just for you so he can blow up whole town and why they want to blow up whole town ? Because DEEEEEEERP.

    But that is only natural for Betsheda quest design. I mean it is same game in which you activate big jattaman of doom to help you in quest...

    They're talking about the ghoul part, not the megaton nuking part.

    For all the :retarded: contained including Leaking and Corroding Nuke right dead in the center and Moira Brown Megaton deserved to be Nuked; Megaton Holocaust Best Day of My Life! And as for Ghul didn't even knew there's other option than removing Roy and his group from Premises since the first impression should told you what an asshole and psycho he is.

    But liberals gonna Lib. This quest should end with PC being machete raped in sleep for full Lib:butthurt:.

    As said above, we're talking about the quest where that ghoul guy wants to move his dudes into the tower.

    This one: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Tenpenny_Tower_(quest)

    The nuke quest was completely abysmal, I think everyone agrees with you on that.

    Nuke quest is awesome, the only moment on the game where you can kill kids.



    (they die offscreen so it doesn't count as violence u see)

    This. I remember closely following the development of F3, getting progressively more disillusioned and finally horrified at the direction the game was headed. I stopped reading official forums, stayed put at the 'dex and NMA instead. When it came out I wouldn't play it for about a month, when I was finally swayed by a friend and felt it *might* be fun to romp around the wasteland with a hunting rifle slung over my shoulder. Boy, was I wrong. That fucking atrocity of a game slapped you with stupid every single step of the way. EVERYTHING in it was beyond fucking retarded. EVERYTHING. After finishing (god god god god that finale) and uninstalling that abomination, I was livid. I daydreamed about running into Todd irl, pretending to be a fan then socking him with a hard right straight in the kisser.

    Then comes along FNV. I delay playing it for the longest of times. It looks to much like F3, you see. I can't handle any more of that bad taste in my mouth. Then I finally get it and, lo and behold, the bad taste was washed out. I did not think it possible, frankly, but it was. That alone makes that game more than worthwhile.

    Fuck all you nitpickers very much.

    It's okay, bro. We're here for you.



    I still rue the fact that I've invested hundreds of hours; For I've stared into the abyss, and video games have been completely ruined for me.

    You got very far, I didn't even managed that. The whole beginning was beyond retarded but my aneurysm exploded with Megaton, just read a codex playthrough and there are worse stuff later . Honestly, I hate David Gayder, David Cage and other hacks that pass as writers but Emil Pagliarulo will win the contest for the dumbest fat ass that tried writing on a video game. Dear Lord, the writing was full of retardness. I don't think a normal human being can write in the way he writes even if he tried. What I think is sad is how most people in Bethesda forums don't even have the low intellectual horsepower required to realize how total crap the writing was.

    I actually didn't even try Fallout New Vegas for a long time because how shitty Fallout 3 was. I thought it is some lame DLC for F3 and i didn't research that is was Obsidian work..

    What a horrible selection. Fallout 3, Braid, FC2, GTA IV... might as well have just picked a winner at random. Maybe that's what they did.

    Say what you want about GTA4's potato vengeance storyline, it was certainly better written than fucking Fallout 3.

    I dunno.

    - Niko, I've seen what you did to that guy. Now you work for me.

    - Okay.

    - Hahahaha, now that you have outlived your usefulness, I betray you.

    - Okay.

    - Niko, I've seen what you did to that other guy. Now you work for me.

    - Okay.

    - Hahahaha, now that you have outlived your usefulness, I betray you.

    - Okay.

    - Niko, I've seen what you did to that other guy. Now you work for me.

    - Okay.

    - Hahahaha, now that you have outlived your usefulness, I betray you.

    - Okay.

    - Niko, here is the guy you've been looking for. We found him somewhere. Kill him if you want.

    - Okay.

    - Niko, I'm one of those guys you worked for, and I'm pissed at you for letting me live instead of shooting me like all the others. Prepare for trouble!

    - And make it double!...I mean, I'm one of those guys you worked for, too. You killed all the others so now only the two of us remain. Who will you work for?

    - Okay. I choose...you.

    - Hahahaha, now that you have outlived your usefulness, I betray you.

    - COUSIN, LET'S GO BOWLING, YES?



    versus
