Fallout 3 wasnt even a Fallout game
it was fucking oblivion with guns
Fallout is about interacting and impacting a rebuilt society (95% of Fallout 1&2 takes place in some sort of town)
Fallout 3 was just, LETS GO EXPLORE AND GET DER LWOOOOT OMG RADIATION SOREAAL
Fallout lets (even encourages) the player to be a evil douche, or a complete retard, or someone who shot every single person on sight and gave 0 fucks
Fallout 3: 80% of the characters were "essential" and couldnt be harmed, doesnt let you go full retard and kill everyone, and being a douche made little to no impact on anything, the entire fucking game alludes and encourages you to be a goddamn "whiteknight-vault-messiah"
Fallout made even the slightest choice and dialogue completely change the course of the game, (from locking entire areas, to making towns hostile, to completely changing a event in the story, to closeing off entire quest chains)
Fallout 3: your actions impacted nothing, (remember, interaction and impacting is what fallout is about)
Fallout was more about a post-post-nuclear setting
Fallout 3: even 200 years after the war, and this place still loooks like the bomb dropped yesterday
Fallout 3: had a completely shit storyline ripped from the first 2 games
Fallout 3 Shot the canon to hell
Fallout 3 was shit
Fallout 3 is shit
Fallout 3 will forever be shit
