Here is a true criticism: I'm bummed out that there is no weather whatsoever. I really wish they would make it rain on ONLY ONE DAY in the game. I think that would be really cool. You wander around the wastes for whatever it is... 40 hours let's say... and there is only one brief rain...

More about the age thing: I'm 28 and I'll be honest that I'm really disappointed the game absolutely insists that you play as a 19 year-old. I think that was a terrible idea, in spite of my earlier post about the hooker not sleeping with you. But, really... when is the last time age...

As for being able to pick up a hooker... I think that's kind of a popular archetype in our culture. We have a thing for the "hooker with a heart of gold." Are you upset because the game won't let you sleep with her because it strays from the "source material" (and incidentally, all that...

I think radiation sickness kind of is - in a sense - contagious. I obviously have no way of knowing for sure, but I have a pretty good feeling that "radiation based attacks" doesn't refer to ghouls casting radiation spells. It probably refers to inflicting some small amount of radiation damage...

I don't see too much of a reason to complain about this guy. He seems to love what he does, and he seems to love the type of art design for which the Fallout series is famous. How much more can you ask for, really?

I don't understand why so many people on these boards think Fallout 3 is going to be a first-person shooter. If Fallout 3's gameplay looks similar to any type of game on the market, I'd say it looks similar to Mass Effect. Bethesda has said you can play the game in an over-the-shoulder view...

Bernard Bumner, I feel your pain. I think you did a nice job of explaining your point the first time. I understood what you were talking about. A lot of people on here misconstrue things that I write, too. And sometimes completely ignore the argument I'm actually making by nitpicking on a...

The way I see it, the guy has played a lot of really great games from a lot of different genres. Whether or not any one of us agrees with all of his favorites, he has some classics on his list. He knows what is great and is trying to make Fallout 3 great as well as far as I can tell. Edit...

Two things: [1] I hear a lot on these boards about Bethesda alienating the "Core Fanbase." How are you defining the core fanbase? I consider myself to a part of the core fanbase, and I'm really excited about where Bethesda is going with Fallout 3. I don't feel alienated at all. Or, am I...

I played Fallout and Fallout 2, and I loved both of them. I played them both a number of times, including both again recently this past summer. I understood the games, and they were certainly not too complex for me. What exactly do you think I found to be too complex about them? I've only...

I'm not a mindless console kid. I never had a console as a kid. My parents would never by me a Nintendo, even though I asked for one every single year. I think the nuke catapult sounds awesome. I like Bethesda's idea that you can use the junk lying around to make new weapons. How do you...

Why do you feel pissed off and angry because I think Fallout 3 looks great and because I am really happy with the changes being made to the franchise? I loved the original games, but I went back and played both of them over the summer realized how limited they are in some ways. I think...

Reasons we should be happy Bethesda is changing the combat system: [1] In the original two games you can see where almost all of the enemies are all almost all of the time. Only rarely would you have to actually open a door to discover what was on the other side of a wall. Or, you could...

First of all, I apologize for what apparently was an inflamatory post. To be honest though, from my perspective, most of the posts on this board are pretty inflamatory and seem rather close minded. I'm really excited about Fallout 3 and I'm really happy Bethesda is working on it. Reading much...

How can you say that Fallout 3 is going to be such a huge departure from the series when you haven't even played the game yet? Bethesda hasn't said anything about the story-line beyond the first hour of gameplay. Give them a chance, people. Why can't Fallout 3 be a direct sequel? We don't...

Also, I think many of you are hypocrites. You complain about being able to beat recent games in just a couple of hours if you know what to do, but you neglect to mention that Fallout 1 and 2 could be beaten in a couple of hours if you knew what to do. Even more disturbing to me is that...

I absolutely loved the first two games, and I am extremely happy that Bethesda will be making Fallout 3. I don't understand why so many people who post on NMA are so angry and so completely opposed to even the slightest changes to a fictional world. That type of thinking, that fear of even...

Get over it. 100 points cost approximately one dollar and twenty-five cents... or in this century, practically free. You folks need to stop living in the early nineties. Also, don't blame Bethesda for the cost of downloading extra content. Bethesda has always been extremely cool about the fan...
