I'm really sick of typing out arguments on mobile. So here's copy paste of all my complaints about F3. And predictions for F4.
3 was a pretty pathetic Fallout game. It lacked the morally grey intrigue of the first games, it's atmosphere was way off, instead of being about the inevitably of war it was about the survival of mankind. The only thing it did right was how wacky the world tended to be.
>The war already happened
And it will happen again, again, and again.
That's the point.
>Master's army
>Enclave
>NCR and Legion
It's always been about mankind's tendency for conflict.
In Fallout 3 you have one guy and a radio channel until they come out of nowhere halfway into the game.
Even then the overwhelming theme in 3 is that mankind is trying to survive, not that a war is coming.
Sounds actually like a nice change.
But BGS has a rep for fucking changes up.
And the game will still be shallow from a story standpoint.
And a character standpoint.
And the quest design will probably be shite.
And it will probably miss the point of a Fallout game all over again, just like Fallout 3.
It's like watching the downfall of Silent Hill again.
The devs are shit at making Fallout, no doubt. Because despite trying to make Fallout they made STALKER. Fallout 3 isn't actually a bad game, gameplay wise. But it is a shite Fallout game.
And I believe I've mentioned before that the gameplay of Fallout 3 isn't what makes me dislike it. In fact, I felt like it was a good modernization for the series. The combat felt really simple, but NV did bring more depth into that.
