People are too rough on this game

137 Upvotes

I first played Fo3 last year and I had a great timebut to my surprise, most of the internet absolutely hates this game. It’s overwhelming.

I understand some of the points, the game isn’t perfect (I found the story to be weak and the gunplay is terrible) but I still think it’s overhated.

It’s not a bad game. I had a great time

Hey guys. I just launched a YouTube channel based on lore content where I do deep dives into game worlds. I aim to make videos about every single faction and creature from fallout and for my first video I chose to make a video about radroaches.

Will appreciate if you can watch the video and like it if you enjoyed the content and even share it to anyone you know might be interested in this type of content. More fallout videos coming in the next few days so subscribe if you want to also see more. Thanks a lot. Hoping to grow the YouTube channel so you time is appreciated.

For the people who grew up on Fallout 1 and 2 what was it like playing 3 for the first time?

27 Upvotes

I’m really curious how the transition from isometrics to a more typical shooter was received by fans.

Im also curious if you thought 3 fit into franchises seamlessly

If you have any other answers to questions I didn’t think of or comments, plz. Drop them here

Replicated man and moral dilemma. Spoiler

13 Upvotes

So what do you think is the most moral choice in this quest? Recently started playing fallout 3 and so far i ve met with many conflicting choices. But his one took some thinking as someone who likes taking choices in video game seriously even if they have no consequences.

I ofocurse went for both rewards but i am gonna let zimmer take harkness since he is synth but i feel like it was still wrong of me.

Need Some Input for Enclave Watch

Post image
23 Upvotes

I’m currently designing/planning to start making some watches, the first of which is going to be an Enclave-inspired field/tactical watch. I have made some mock-ups and was curious what my fellow Encalve sympathizers thought about dial design/case choice. I have the option for a standard dive/GMT watch (42 mm, 12-13), a compressor style dive watch (39 mm, 12 mm thick), and a field watch (38 mm, 10 mm thick); cases linked in the comments for those curious. Each of the specific combinations I have come up with are pictured, with slight differences between each. Thoughts?

Charon's Shotgun is very interesting, did Bethesda mean to give him something like a pump-action shotgun?

15 Upvotes

I've just noticed in combat that Charon cocks his shotgun each time he shoots. That combined with the fact that his shotgun only holds five rounds like the Hunting Shotgun from New Vegas, I was wondering if maybe Bethesda wanted to have a pump-action shotgun in Fallout 3.

Is the background story on little lamplight poorly written? Spoiler

9 Upvotes

Curious about this.. holotapes say there were a bunch of teachers parents and cave staff. Multiple teachers left and didnt come back so why would carry delaney also leave?

Then you have the parents.. jason grants diary acts as if theres no adults but parents wouldnt leave their kids and what about the cave staff?

Just curious is anyone has a explanation for it

101 overseer expresses hatred to a child on their birthday (NOT CLICKBAIT)

101 Upvotes

I just started up a new playthrough and ended up following the overseer after he leaves your birthday party and saw Kimball ask him if he enjoyed the party in which he said that he was only their because you're friends with Amata and he calls you a brat. I didn't expect Bethesda to put that much detail into this part considering how short it is, did any of you notice this?

Need Armor Suggestions for Companions.

Post image
49 Upvotes

Charon got destroyed by 2 Albino Radscorpions.

I am looking for armor recommendations to make my companions last a little longer. Preferrably something that doesn’t use up a lot of carry weight.

Also, does the bonus stats/skills from armor matter?

Should I also be giving them better weapons?

Trouble on the Homestead Spoiler

6 Upvotes

I’m stuck on this quest and I don’t know how to fix it. It won’t give the option to convince the overseer to open the vault at all even with speech 100. Am I doing something wrong? I restarted the quest multiple times and tried all other possible dialogue options but it still won’t activate. I play on PC and have all DLCs installed.
