I've recently been thinking recently on what the basis of all my objection to the changes in fallout 3 is about, and have finally come to a conclusion. What I really dislike about changing the viewpoint to beth(crap)soft style of adventuring is the removal of the descriptive text box, and to me that was where half the joy of the game came from.
It seems to me almost all the bleak and sometimes trite homour was derived from descriptions of items and scenary and people in the wasteland, it stopped the artwork and graphical portions of the game from needing to stand alone (although they were definately well above par in the art quality department) it enhanced them gave them hilarity and character that could never be derived from something visual.
In losing this they are destroying their chances at supporting their inferior art quality and from what I have seen writing ability something that they should have considered very carefully before doing away with the interface, this truly sadens me as I feel if they had kept that and some other things I might have been able to pull some modicum of enjoyment from even these inferior designers bastardisation of this gem of a game that I came to love so much and be influenced by so much during my formative years.
That's all thanks for letting me share my thoughts.
