The good quests are too far in between, there is a lot of uninspiring filler here. There are a few "cities" but no worthy "factions", no arena and not many interesting things to do as a "bad" person. There are fewer npc's than the previous games (Oblivion, Morrowind). The map is smaller. The main questline is, also, kind of trash. It's a good warm-up to New Vegas though. Thank god I played that game during the pandemic and I felt the fun that can be had using the same engine and assets in a different way. Also, the world design of Obsidian: far better in their game. Fallout 3 can keep you awake in a pinch, and prepare you for the ultimate comparison when you get to play Obsidian's game.
Obsidian made this in 18 months, using assets and the engine from Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is pretty boring, meaning that interesting quests are too far in between and the world is just not up to par with what it could really be. BUT, New Vegas is way, way better. In fact, it is what I like to think as the actual Fallout 3 experience. Buy this game. Play this game. You won't regret it, not even in 2022.
If you know Amnesia, you know how this plays. However, this massively underestimated title has one of the best stories I have ever seen in my decades of gaming. Mark my words, to those who will play through to the end, this game will stay with you forever. Not for the faint of heart or emotional people. Also, warning: If you are in a dark place in your life right now, you might want to skip this for a while. Otherwise, can't recommend it enough
This game is miles and leagues ahead of anything the competition has to offer. More than eight thousands images, plus hundreds of scenes. Lots of hours to sink in. The story will hook you in and the visuals will do the rest. So many choices. Branching paths. Character alignment. You will try to unlock all the extra content and probably replay the whole season a few times, just to see what happens. I'm not spoiling anything. You should experience this for yourselves. For what it is offering, especially compared to any other VN in existence, it is cheap. Get a deal on both Seasons 1+2 if you can.
