Fallout 3 thread?

I'm enjoying the NV threads, and 3 deserves one. It might be a shit game, but it's at least "fun".

What mods you playing?

Fallout 3 is a genuinely bad game, while NV is an okay game that relies heavily on mods.

Fallout 3 is one of those games that's good for just dicking around in. The writing is mostly garbage but no matter how hard I shit talk it, I still do new playthroughs every once in a while.

It stops being fun for me after you get too powerful, though. I had so much fun with it because because a clueless underpowered chucklefuck scraping to stay alive in the wasteland is fun, but you're bound to completely lose that after like level 6.

I hear that. Fallout 3's writing gets worse every time you play it, but there's still always shit to discover and explore.

I was expecting more of the same with Fallout 4, but it wasn't even fun to go through nooks and crannies in that game. Bethesda really dropped the ball there.

Yes they fucking were.
>>
>>340055106
Some of them were alright but some of them were also dogshit which was hard to get away with since there were so few of them. It did seem that Bethesda still had some of that Oblivion quality questmaking going into the game. Like, the quests themselves weren't anything special but the way they were presented was i.e. the quest where you're supposed to kill ghoul bigots having that little plot twist about the ghoul faggot tricking you into hunting down his old squad and taking their shit so he can get some mad loot. It had some cool options in terms of how exactly you went about it and let you kind of figure shit out on your own even though when you get down to it, it was just another kill and fetch quest.

I still haven't played FO4 so I don't know what the sidequests were like but Skyrim had practically nothing like that so my faith in Bethesda's ability to write interesting quests is plummeting every day.

>New Vegas had great branching quests.
I could fellate New Vegas all day long but let's not get ahead of ourselves. The main questline was miles above FO3's but the branching nature didn't change much except the banner you carried. There were some great sidequests with varied options in NV, but a huge chunk of them were just pretty standard fetch quests.
>>
Fallout 3 is the only good one
>>
>>340055902
it is similar to the combat system from the first two fallout games.
>>
>>340055451
No, Moira is. She was the only forward thinking individual in FO3 who wanted to make immediate and useful changes to the way of life, which should have made her one of the best characters in the game, but she's deliberately written as an annoying cunt who no other character really takes seriously on account of her attitude and eccentricities. She's a testament to how little Bethesda actually understands the point of Fallout from a narrative standpoint.

oh wow one quest which again is two dimensional as fuck

Can you blame him? Modern game journalists are trash.

>>340056313

It was sort of necessary in the old games because of being a turn-based chance based system relying much more heavily on AP. It serves absolutely no purpose in the modern games except for OH SHIT I CAN'T AIM FOR MYSELF HELP

Guys I'm playing this for the first time. I'm already in Megaton, any tips?

>>340056084

branching was so-so. i gave up when after killing ceasar and his generals bare handed in their tent no one gave a single fuck and NCR still bossed me around like i couldn't ass rape every single one of them.

these games need to work on handling power fantasies a bit better
>>
>>340056602
It saves bullets, which are very valuable
>>
>>340055342
Most sidequests in FO3 were actually alright in terms of options. Nothing incredibly nuanced or anything but they were rarely point A to point B and usually decent lengths. The mq on the other hand was irredeemable garbage, probably since Bethesda was under the impression that their story was actually good and didn't want things like choices or variety getting in the way of telling it.
>>
>>340056621

Play New Vegas.

>>340056695

>it saves something that is abundant
>>
>>340056621

do whatever the fuck you want really

megaton has the best home base for the player though so keep that in mind.
>>
>>340056707

No there weren't they were all killing randoms or fetch quests. Just like 4.
>>
>>340056564
Right now the best way to play f3 is through NV with the mod Tales of Two wastelands.
>>
>>340056621

Don't destroy it. The rewards for doing so are shitty.
>>
>>340056469
There's more than one quest

Most of fallout 3 quest had multiple ways to solve them
>>
>>340056621

You have tow options.

Be a good guy = don't blow up Megaton

Be a bad guy = blow it up for absolutely no reason
>>
>>340056940

I'll wait for you to list them.

The quest you linked is retarded. It's more simplistic shit.

Be a dick or don't. No middle ground, no branching. No middle ground.

>>340056615

she's not treated like a joke. the megaton residents just say that she's a little looney, which is true.

>>340057368


Either they kill everybody or they don't. It's still two-dimensional.
>>
>>340057064
As retarded as the writing in most quests are, that guy is right in saying they usually have multiple ways to go about them. Retarded vampire quest has different outcomes for the retarded vampire kid and the relationship between the town and the vampires. The one where you return to Vault 101 lets you side with the overseer, the citizens, or just fuck everyone over. The Oasis one gives you different ways to deal with Harold. The slave one has two options to side with.

The shitty narrative writing doesn't negate the fact that you do have somewhat of a choice in these quests.
>>
>>340057478
>if we gave you a complete list of all the quests with multiple choices

go on

if you did this I'd actually replay the game with a less negative bias
>>
>>340056970
>Be a bad guy = blow it up for absolutely no reason

The quest was seriously confusing. A random faggot just approaches you out of nowhere and tells you to blow up the town. He gives you no motivation for doing so, no clear reward, and no reason why you have to do it and he can't do it himself.
>>
>>340056602
>Modern game journalists are trash

You're implying that they were better before and it wasn't the same trash every year. Before you list exceptions to that, there have been exceptions to this rule since the dawn of time as well.

there were a couple fetch quests in there but like i said investigating rivet city, and then there's the RobCo factory where the objective is to download date from the mainframe. and you can reprogram them to fight each other which i got a kick out of. plus you can get that survival perk at the end based on how you explained your adventure to her.

Not him, but I'm pretty sure it was a joke.

British sarcasm is pretty blatant, and dry.

It's happening again. How in the fuck did Moira become a ghoul instantly when the process takes 3 weeks to months? Killing Moira has more ramifications than blowing up fucking Megaton. Think about that
>>
>>340067942
Are there any other significant quests in that town unrelated to the bomb other than Wasteland Survival Guide? The only one I can think of is dealing with that one dude's drug addiction and that's not even a real quest, it's unmarked.
>>
>>340068685
Not that I came across. There's Jericho, but nobody actually likes him. You can circumvent Megaton entirely for the main quest by heading to Rivet City or that Vault dad is in, which leaves basically nothing else

>TFW Been playing TTW FO3 and have been enjoying it

Not sure why, The NV Engine makes a big difference it seems, also TTW Interiors is awesome as well.
>>
>>340068685
You can start Blood Ties there, you can do a debt collection job or Moriarty, and you can help fix the leaking water pipes if you have a high enough Repair skill.

The main function of Megaton from a gameplay perspective is to introduce you to the world by having you talk to other characters who mention locations you can visit and tidbits of lore.
>>
>>340070046
Both games run on the same engine, it's just that NV's gameplay has some tweaks and advantages that makes the game bearable to play outside of VATS
>>
>>340070561

Yeah thats what i more mean, Ironsights, Hardcore Mode, DT System, Better weapon selection, etc... Just makes FO3 A much better game
>>
>>340056335
I love Moira, I never fail to laugh at her and her quest is fun to me atleast.

>>340070046

You're an idiot.

>TFW I'm guilty of this and never notived until now

but honestly how else are you supposed to direct someone in an open world first person/third person game
>>
>>340071883

"Leave from here and go North/East/South/West"

Pretty simple anon
>>
>>340071883
The funny thing about it is that if you ignore the quest marker, FO3 becomes an infintely better game since you just got to the first thing you're drawn to.

Why they didn't have an option to toggle it off in the options menu is beyond me.
>>
>>340049440
Holy shit this guy's comments about how your dad is the real main character for the first half of the game made me realize why FO3 is no fun for me to roleplay in. The LW isn't really a character, or at least not a character who actually does anything of note. The narrative sets them up as a sort of messianic exile but during the main quest someone else is in charge or in focus. The LW is more like a vehicle through which you experience the shitty story Bethesda puts in front of you. You're never actually part of the game, like you should be in an RPG, you're just a bystander.

NV managed to have a more engaging protag and they were just some random mailman, but at least that mailman gets to do their own shit and be the actual main character.

the survivalist layer of FWE would make zero sense for a developed region like New Vegas

>but honestly how else are you supposed to direct someone in an open world first person/third person game
By actually directing them through world design/dialogue and not just giving them an arrow to follow.

Game's all right if you get FWE, forget its supposed to be the same setting as Fallout and play it like Stalker with shitty writing

The same will be true of Fallout 4 if someone makes a similar overhaul

>You have to be a fanboy of one company to call out the bullshit of another

>>340073316

So why didn't F3 do this?
>>
>>340058152

IIRC, he just sort of fell into the role of trying to keep the peace and no one pushed for anyone better.

They weren't swimming in options. Jericho's pretty much the only one who can actually fight, and he's a ex-raider rapist.
>>
>>340058403

You were first seen talking to Primm when you stepped into town, who seems pretty gung-ho about getting people to disarm the bomb. To a layman, I figure disarming it doesn't look much different than arming it.

Why did Dad design a water purifier that could dump a shitload of radiation into the control room as a "trap"

How does Col Autumn survive the radiation "trap"

How does the "trap" even work considering the water purifier is not finished and not active when Dad activates it
>>
>>340074431
Because it's deliberately dumbed-down in an attempt to appeal to a wide audience
>>
>>340075191
I'm pretty sure it wasn't an intentional trap, it was just Dad knowing that his shitty purifier was broken as hell and taking advantage of that by breaking it even harder
>>
>>340075191
Why didnt they just use a really long stick to input the code and start the purifier instead of waltzing into the deadly radiation that they know is there
>>
>>340076137
Why didn't the Enclave use one of their robots to brute force the code

Inputting the wrong code causes another "radiation spike" but a robot won't give a shit

Or use a captured ghoul at gunpoint

I don't care what /v/ thinks.
Fallout 3 was a great game, still is one and everyone else who thinks it's not just because of a few bugs, not the best writing, MUH LORE or MUH REALISM can go choke while sucking their own, filthy dick.
>>
I have nostalgia for Fallout 3 but I'm afraid to go back and play it again in fear of /v/ being correct

Fallout 4 was my favorite game last year though who the fuck knows

Been a while since I had 3 installed, but I had fun. I don't deny its flaws though, and I enjoyed NV more. Just started playing 1, I'd like to get through the classics before I touch 4.

its not possible for a fun game to be garbage

manbabies who (correctly) believe that new vegas is the superior game in nearly every way, can't wrap their head around the fact that "some people just want to watch the world after it's burned"

I consider exploring the metro tunnels in FO3 to be the best video game experience of the past 10 years, because it's been forever since I've played a game that drops me in an actual maze, with compelling locations to discover.
>>
>>340077317
>Best DLC
PL was great. The Pitt was alright. BS was only good for continuing after the mq. The other two are garbage.

You had me for a minute there.
>>
>>340077909
the irony is that the tweens who really like new vegas but didn't actually play the old games don't understand the idea of being dropped in a maze and having to map it out themselves

the closest they've ever gotten to a challenge involving maps was etrian oddyssey

you can't actually call them 'underage' though, because then they stop thinking completely and go back to chanting alahu courier, alahu alahu akbar
>>
>>340076345
Technically it would matter to a robot
The radiation spike would fry it's processor/motherboard et.
But Bethesda most likely will ignore that though
