Fallout 3 is actually a decent adventure game if you completely ignore the main quest and therefor James and the brotherhood of steel.
>son, heard you blew up an entire town full of people including children

fallout 3 is actually good if you ignore the game completely and install new vegas

I don't actually disagree. With TTW you can have the best of both. For a sufficiently low price (preferably free) Fallout 3 has a few stories worth enjoying. I thought the musician vault was kind of interesting.

To be fair, I imagine atrocities and killings on the scale of blowing up megaton are a daily occurrence in a post apocalyptic wasteland. Stabbing someone in the gut there is probably equivalent to slapping them in the face in this day and age. So all the Lone Wanderer did is kill people in a really flashy and in-your-face way.

Yeah, but it's your dad. You would think he would be more than just "disappointed" that his son is a mass murderer.

I would rather not be reminded of Bethesdas retardation at all.

Dialogue is not the game's strong suit but I love how you can call Dad out on being a deadbeat shithead that completely abandoned you to a sterile life of servitude after this.

I don't want to make excuses for the shit writing in 3 because you're right but maybe he saw some shit before he arrived at the vault.

New Vegas still has Bethesda's fingerprints all over it. If you were a real epic elite Fallout purist, you would be playing the older games.

>town full of children
>20km to the east, town with super hero and villain fighting together
I love amusement park games where nothing has consistency or connection

People complained that you can't directly kill the children in this game with guns, but you can still blow them up with an atomic bomb or sell them into slavery.

At least it's more memorable than fallout 4, and it's actually playable unlike "'fallout"' 76.
Seriously, i barely remember anything from fallout 4's dumb fucking story.

Fallout 3 is actually good partly because of the main quest. It's only Broken Steel that makes it go down the sewer. The original ending and what leads up to it are more than decent compared to video game quests in general.

i swear to god Yea Forums cares more about story than anywhere else on the internet. most people IRL liked fallout 3 because they dont give a shit about inconsistencies in the story or lore, they just play the fucking game.

Yeah, would care about a story and dialogues in an RPG.

Just play dude.

Also most of Fallout 3's side quest stories aren't bad at all.

At least it doesn't have a pre war ghoul boy getting stuck in a fridge and surviving for 200 years without any food or water or someone letting him out of the fridge. Oh and it just so happens that his parents are also ghouls now and live just down the road.

Not getting a joke is a symptom of autism.

The quest is obviously a funny little nod to a common 50s trope - like pretty much everything in all the Fallouts.
You have to be functionally illiterate or intentionally trying to find fault in everything in the game to think the fridge ghoul is "bad writing."

>a common 50s trope
Which one? Was people going centuries without food or water a common trope in the 50;s?

kids (supposedly) getting stuck in fridges and dying since there was no handle on the inside.
I don't know if it really ever happened but the new Indiana Jones movie set in the 50s references it too.

I just want to stop by and say that the concept art for Fallout 3 was fantastic, and I wish the game looked exactly like it.

Half of the enjoyment of Fallout 3 for me is imagining what it could've been.
