    So Fallout 3

    in Computer and Console

    Posted

    The problem with followers in Fallout 3 is that they have nothing to say and no one has anything to say to them, they're just glorified pack brahmin...with guns. :ermm:

     

    I did think some of the combat shouts were decent though, and the small amount of dialogue you get with followers before they join you is ok but it never, ever verges on Fallout 2's interparty bantering.

    The trick about Oblivion is simply to not level up and do everything at level 2... bandits/marauders stay in fur/iron armor & one can become stronger by improving skills while the attributes remain the same, keeping the game challenging... while at level 30 the game is simply tedious when even the smallest goblin takes ages to kill because of the scaled amount of health.

     

    Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul almost completely solves that, I agree though, the vanilla scaling is damn stupid.

    Welcome to the forum. :)

     

    Edit: I guess a cruddy game like Oblivion can serve some higher good after all.

     

    Thanks, I've lurked since I heard about New Vegas so a thread about Fallout 3 seemed to be a good excuse to start talking :bat:

     

    I still think Oblivion with mods is a good game but yep, it's another cliched sack of idiots in the plot department.

    I have to admit to Oblivion being my first "RPG" experience...and I really enjoyed it, unbelievably I let Fallout, Baldur's Gate and PST all pass me by when they were released, I was busy playing Half Life and Quake 2 in college, System Shock 2 came along and I started to realise that there might be more to less linear games but I watched Morrowind pass me by too, mostly because my PC had no chance of running it at the time. :)

     

    So basically up until the last few years I've been an RPG virgin, Fallout 3 was my second RPG and again, I really enjoyed it but the sheen wore off quicker, I went and played Fallout 1&2 afterwards and got a taste of really high quality writing...talking to some of the lobotomised cliches who bibble their way around the capitol wasteland was never quite the same afterwards.

     

    Now saying that I went back and completed Fallout 3 another two times, there's still enough stuff I haven't seen to make one more run worthwhile, and I'll do it because I really enjoy the exploration aspect, plumbing the depths of a bombed out building to find skeletal remains in amusing positions or computers with depressing diaries for whatever reason does it for me.

     

    So anyway, I do have to thank Bethesda for introducing me to the RPG, their writing sucks but Fallout 3 can still kick ass at times, also, mods are essential :bat:
