Fallout 3 is a weird one because it’s definitely a good game and a halfway decent RPG at least on the same level as Oblivion; but as a fan of Fallout prior to its release, it doesn’t give any of the same vibes as Fallout. Different sense of humor, different cultural things since it’s set on the otherside of the country as the originals, and kinda just feels like a serial killer murdered Fallout and wore its skin like a suit.
If it was called something else, I think I would have more fondness toward it.
True, 3 is definitely worth playing, and I could never really get into Fallout1+2 (I like isometric RPGs, but the old Fallouts are kinda clunky and I prefer my turn-based combat to be party-based). But even from my couple of hours playing Fallout1+2, it’s very clear that the vibe is completely different from the Bethesda-owned installments.
it was the one that turned it into a 3d. also NV had better perks. I cannot get TTW to work on my PC for some reason but I really want to give 3 a try with that.
