Book of Eli with Wesley Snipes heh that would be funny.FO3 is similar to an hypothetical sequel to Dances With Wolves—starring Sylvester Stallone and Eddie Albert, or a sequel to Book of Eli starring Wesley Snipes and Powers Boothe; both with a runtime of 80 minutes.
It does not matter what they produce, it's a Farcry from Fallout; nothing at all like it should have been.
This is why FO3 is bad; it's not like what it should of been. Its own merit never gets judged, because it loses hands down.... as it should.
Kind of funny how every generation's favorite games are the ones they grew up with.The only people who like Fallout 3 played it when they were 12 and didn't know any better. Hence zoomers and young millennials on Reddit think it's a classic, and gen xers and old millennials on the Codex think it's garbage.
Not always so. I bought Oblivion when it released—because they had announced FO3. I had never heard of Bethesda before. I was very impressed with Oblivion... until exiting the starter dungeon, and interacting with the world's NPCs.Kind of funny how every generation's favorite games are the ones they grew up with.The only people who like Fallout 3 played it when they were 12 and didn't know any better.

Two of the three quests you mentioned are given by redguards. The other is the court mage who unless you modded it has a hood on that covers everything but his face. He is the only NPC in Whiterun that uses a robe. If you are talking about the rest of the Nords, then you are also wrong. There is a large variety of looks both in skin tone, hairstyle and overall shape. And yet all the vikings look alike? How about giving it an honest effort? If by the houses looking the same you mean the materials used to build them, yes they do. As the should. Otherwise, each house/establishment in Whiterun is actually a unique interior and not copied from any other Whiterun house/establishment. You simply couldnt be more wrong.Played some more Skyrim today. What a bunch of fetch quests. Bring a guy a drink, take a potion across the street, some guy lost a sword. I can't take much more of this shit. And these vikings all look alike i can't tell who's who. The houses all look the same too.
For my part it is simply not appropriate gameplay for the series, and poor writing, humor, and quest design... It's not Fallout.People hate it because they act as if it's existence is an affront to the original games -which are still there- and kept Van Buren or some idealized form of Van Buren from existing - which it didn't.
FO3 is objectively a sequel to FOBOS.Before Fallout 3 the last Fallout game was Brotherhood of Steel for Playstation 2. There was going to be a Brotherhood of Steel 2. Fallout 3 is objectively better.
That's the bottom line: too much emotional baggage and that spergy sense of the betrayal for most codexers to ever like FO3. On its own, it was an okay open world game once separated from the canon of the original fallout games.The only people who like Fallout 3 played it when they were 12 and didn't know any better. Hence zoomers and young millennials on Reddit think it's a classic, and gen xers and old millennials on the Codex think it's garbage.
Fallout 3 isn't a classic but it's also not the abortion so many here make it out.

Or you know, just the pure fact that after all the time the settlement has been up the bomb is just laying there in the middle of town, naked and accessible to everyone . And on top of that they immediately instruct some random douchebag that just walked into town with disarming it.Most settlements in F3 don't grow anything and do not have livestock save for that single brahmin in Megaton. How do they live in Megaton around a radiactive bomb and what do they eat? IDK
You are crazy. The game is a castrated Oblivion in every way, from the interface to even graphics. And I'm supposed to give it an honest effort when the devs didn't give any either. FO3 every quest was at least minimally interesting but here they couldn't care less so why would I.Two of the three quests you mentioned are given by redguards.

Suggesting that Book of Eli was a good movie...FO3 is similar to an hypothetical sequel to Dances With Wolves—starring Sylvester Stallone and Eddie Albert, or a sequel to Book of Eli starring Wesley Snipes and Powers Boothe; both with a runtime of 80 minutes.

Recently i played some Bethesda games (decline!) and that's my impression.
FO3 is good and even great! Exploration is better than NV, but not writing(it's ok though) Quests are not bad. Skyrim on the other hand sucks very much and I couldn't finish it . It looks worse than Oblivion, no dense forests and less npcs around . Quests are basic fetch and kill ( literally), even Oblivion was better, except in level scaling probably.
So, what gives Codex?
We all knew the day would come when FO3 would be remembered as "at least it wasn't nearly as bad as *current reference game*. The same is somewhat already happening with Skyrim.Fallout 3 is actually incline if compared to recent trends.
That's fine but there's a huge gap between the reality which is that it's a medicore game - and the general opinion round here which is that it's THE WORST GAME EVER.For my part it is simply not appropriate gameplay for the series, and poor writing, humor, and quest design... It's not Fallout.People hate it because they act as if it's existence is an affront to the original games -which are still there- and kept Van Buren or some idealized form of Van Buren from existing - which it didn't.
