Wasn't Megan Stark a writer on Tyranny? She wrote Kills-In-Shadows. She was definitely better at that than at story writing.
If a character like Kills-in-Shadows is supposed to represent Megan Starks at her best, I shudder to think what her weaker writing efforts look like.

You made me google Starks, you bastards.

Lol, the first game in her list of favorites is FO3. And no, FNV is not on the list. I do not know if I could forgive that much.

If Fallout 3 stripped the soul off of Fallout 1 and 2, then Fallout 4 stripped the soul off of Fallout 3. Obviously both are shit, but that's how bad FO4 was.

Fallout 3 had no soul in the first place. Well apart from some nice graphics and decent world/area design.
What was left of Fallout 1 and 2 systems is not worth mentioning, as it was just a rotten shade at this point, dancing on the carcass of the noble classic Fallouts.

Fallout 4 at least gave it an original direction and made it a more fun shooter. Personally I prefer Fallout 4 to the Fallout 3 system abortion. At least it doesn't pretend much (well, apart from the title and setting I suppose).

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Cmon now, with Fallout 4 they didn't even try to create a story that makes sense within the setting. If you simply think for 1 minute it immediately breaks down. But it has settlements and crafting lol
I guess it's a decent shooter..

FO3 at least tried to be like a FP Fallout...even though it failed completely. It seems that after that Bethesda just said "ah fuck it, let's just do random shit with the franchise that young people and streamers will like"

Fallout 3 was good far what it was,tanks to it we have the NV gem. It was a good way to bring some life in to the series. If it was a top down game like Fallout2 it would have been a flop. Not many rpg fags out there,we are pretty much an elite club of people with high taste. I do look at Fallout 3 as a first game in a series,tanks to it many people got curious of what Fallout 2 was and decided to give it a try. Also it did show to the industry that there is a market for RPG games. Without it we would have a lot shittier present.

PS:Yeah as a rpg fan Fallout 3 is shit,still we must not be blind for the things that it did for the industry.

I'd love to see a statistic about how many people played Fallout 1 or 2 after playing FO3 and how many of them liked FO1/2. From where I'm standing it did more to hurt the concept of the RPG in the minds of the mainstream gamers. I don't think it revolutionized anything or did something new, as it's basically the Elder Scrolls with guns.

I did :). Never knew about Fallout games before that. Liked the setting and decided to try out the old ones.

Maybe some people learned about Fallouts due to FO3, that doesn't make the game not horrible. It's like swimming in room temperature soup: the plot is a nonsensical mess, the setting doesn't care about integrity, the combat is broken and you just press vats and stim to win, and you're just walking around yet another set of subway mazes to the next quest marker.

Cause the story in Fallout 3 is so awesome.

Maybe it isn't so bad that Wizards get something unique.

Hiç çaktırmıyosun Türk olduğunu.

Still a loss for other 10 classes, oh well.

sızmaya çalışıyodum, bi çuval inciri mahvettin :P sen de ogzdensin o zaman?

I think it could lead to feature bloat, I think a real concern for deadfire. I doubt all classes needs a class specific trinket, some could aside from Wizards.

Yok takılmadım hiç o tarz oyun sitelerine, arkadaştan öğrendim burayı, it yerine ıt yazmışsın yoksa anlamazdım.
