Bethesda's Fallout
Fallout 1 and 2 were incredible rpgs, and F3: Van Buren looked amazing. But Bethesda bought out the franchise. And then they made this. Fallout 3 is not a Van Buren, it's an Elder Scrolls game, but a with a different atmosphere. That's the problem. Fallout is not Elder Scrolls, Obsidian knew this when they made NV, and made a Fallout game. The big key aspect is the writing. I don't care about the engine, it works fine for me. The shooting is okay, there isn't much for me to talk about here. Fallout 3 is really badly written. Reaaaallly. There are certain plot holes, the story has a lack of choice, the world ruins some of the most beloved things from Fallout. The story follows you looking for your Dad, typical beginning for a Fallout story, something small that opens up. But how it opens up is the problem. As the story opens up, you're supposed to have a choice on what goes on, how it opens up. There isn't any moral ambiguity here, there are clear good guys and bad guys in this story, no grey area. This makes the story incredibly shallow. The only options throughout the game were either "be a saint, the savior of the wasteland!" or "be the antichrist who will kill everyone, why, because he's mean!" That ruins the rpg aspects of the story, you don't have any choice. You can't be morally perplexed. The choice is so bad in this game, that you don't even get to start with a clean slate, or at least a little, for what the classic Fallouts delivered. The main story begins with THE MAIN CHARACTER'S BIRTH. LITERALLY. WE GET A FULL MONTAGE OF HIS LIFE. This is not how you start an rpg, you need a main character with an ambiguous past so you can create and understand your character. That's the fun of an rpg, and F3 kinda ruins it. I guess it's worth checking out if you're really into the Fallout franchise and you're itching for more. 2 stars, a disappointment. At least it's not Fallout 4, though.
