I'd say Fallout 2 was more accessible than 1, personally.

Right now I really want to listen to "into every life some rain will fall" while exploding some melons.
Can you believe it? Haha the most repetitive song of all.

I've played through most of the collection ( But not Brotherhood of Steel on the consoles. I could smell that game was terrible through the case. ) and FO1 is still my favorite. BUT I did like 3 better then 2.
Neither game had the magic that Fallout 1 did when it comes to characters and story, and 2 felt more like a map pack then a true sequel. With that said, Fallout 3 is more fun to play for gameplay then Fallout 2. I can load up 3 and actually kill some time dicking around, whereas it's strictly business when I'm playing FO1 or 2.
Plus I got a warm and fuzzy feeling over killing cockroaches with the baseball bat. That was the first kill that made me laugh, and nothing after it tickled me the same way.

Fallout 3 is a fucking disaster and if you enjoyed it then you should never give your opinion on anything, especially videogames. It's honestly complete trash in all aspects and I'd rather play Final Fantasy XIII that this GOTY 2008. And the cherry on the cake is, the game is shit even if you don't compare it to original Fallout. It's just so bad it is blatantly obvious on its own.
Where to even begin? The story is worthless. It makes no sense at all, water can be filtered simply with earth. Yes, earth, you know, the stuff plants grow on. That's all you need to decontaminate water! No need for ridiculous magical numbo-jumbo straight out of fucking Dexters Laboratory episode. That's half of entire Fallout 3 story out of the window right there.
Second half - with the father and shit - jesus fuck that's even worse. I don't even remember what it was all about except the fact that it was utterly retarded. Something like your dad getting into the vault with baby you because he put you above the project then putting the project back above you as soon as the tutorial ends? I think? And you travel across the entire mother fucking wastes asking about him. HELLO HAVE YOU SEEN A MIDDLE-AGED MAN? HE IS MY FATHER. I CANNOT DESCRIBE HIM TO YOU BECAUSE OF SHITTY WORTHLESS GIMMICK FEATURE WHICH MAKES HIM LOOK KIND OF LIKE ME AND I CAN SET MY LOOKS HOVEWER I WANT SO I MIGHT HAVE ENDED ASKING ABOUT A BLACK GUY EVEN THOUGH I'M WHITE AND SHIT AND OBVIOUSLY IT WAS TOO FUCKING HARD TO SPEND A DAY CODING SOME KIND OF SYSTEM WHICH TAKES THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. SO HAVE YOU SEEN ANY MIDDLE-AGED MEN AROUND? HE HAS A UNIQUE MODEL
This brings us to second fucktardiness: dialogues, or rather writing in general. I believe you don't really need a great story as long as the writing is good - fortunatelywriting in Fallout 3 is single most fucked up writing I've EVER seen in ANY videogame, including japanese productions, and I played many of them, and Bioware productions, and I played Jade Empire. It's just so fucking bad I can't give you any example because IT'S SO FUCKING BAD that if you honestly can't see how bad it is I can only assume there is something fundamentally wrong with your brain or your only encounter with written word thus far were GameFAQs boards. My own posts are like teardrops of all nine fucking muses compared to the writing in Fallout 3. As if the ten-year-old sonic slashfic writing wasn't enough, it is constantly being fucked up with SKILL CHECKS which appear near the possible answers, probably for no other reason but child-like wave for attention. LOOK! WE HAVE SKILL CHECKS! THIS GAME IS A REAL RYPYGY!
NPCs. That one is easy, even the hardcore FO3 fanboys will admit the only memorable NPC in the game is memorable because HOW FUCKING ANNOYING SHE IS. Next!
Setting. Even if I had four arms I could still not facepalm enough at how fucking idiotic the setting in Fallout 3 is. It's basically whatever the fuck the devs thought were awesome, and by awesome I mean junior high school awesome. Town built around an unexploded nuclear bomb? Awesome. Secret cult of vampires? AWESOME. Hidden city of only kids who throw out their members when they grow up? AWESOME! Cars which explode in little nuclear explosions two hundred years after the war? AWESOME!! Clothes which magically alter your stats when you put them on as if it was a fucking World of Warcraft? AWESOME!!! A radio DJ who plays music for people living in post fucking apocalyptic world and keeps them updated on your(and only your, obviously, since everyone else don't exist unless you're talking to them or shooting them at the moment) progress? MORE AWESOME THAN 4CHAN.
Nothing in Fallout 3 universe makes any fucking sense at all. There is no coherency whatsefuckingover and unless you're completely blind the suspension of disbelief is broken roughly every two minutes fourteen secons just by looking around. Because there is no world travel, the entire world is a tiny little scrap of sand with locations literally right next to each other. Here is a raider camp, fifteen meters farther, radscorpion cave, another twenty meters, super mutants. "Sandbox" indeed, well you got the fucking size right.
System. The game uses consolized, dumbed down and streamlined version of SPECIAL. The difference is that in the new system your stats don't matter. Formulas have been recalculated - STR affects carry weight less, EN affects HP less, AG affects action points less, and so on, because we wouldn't want the retarded console players having to suffer consequences of their choices when making a character. I figure out you could finish the game with 1 in all stats and wouldn't even break a sweat. Combat can be automatically won simply by turning on VATS where even the most worthless peashooter fires homing armour-piercing adamantium-tipped exploding bullets, and the only challenge is watching the same three death animations over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. I figure everyone sooner or later switches to normal "pew pew" mode simply because you can't fucking look at that retarded spatterfest anymore.
Of course that is not all by any stretch of imagination. The engine is buggy, the models are bad and animations are downright fucking atrocious, the music is not even worth mentioning, there are orcs, the companions are fucking useless and the game is littered with elements obviously aimed at consoletard audience, I mean you even get the YOU HAVE ENTERED MAGICAL UNIQUE CITY on the screen just so you know you entered a city and what city it is and you don't need to fucking ask anybody. Even the community is a bunch of mentally handicapped monkeys who foam at the mouth and masturbate furiously when they read in the next DLC they will be able to explore AN ALIEN SPACESHIP OMG THE AWESOME IS OVER NINE THOUSAND
So there you go. Irrefutable proof that Fallout 3 is a abortion of a videogame and if you like it you have to taste whatsoever. And your cognitive capabilities are at the level of french bread.

Within the game universe if it was that simple you wouldn't need to have found a replacement water chip in Fallout 1. Personally I don't have a problem with enjoying a game's fiction for what it is. If that means I have an intellectual capability of "French bread" then so be it.

TL;DR.

I'm trying to filter the radiation out of this irradiated water by running it through some irradiated soil and it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?
Bluegrime on 24/4/2010 at 19:46
Try dipping your water chips in it.
