12) If you're going to make a game without a single likable NPC, can you at least give us the ability to kill them?
The only essential NPCs I saw were the BoS Paladins and anyone related to the Main Quest. (...)

That is not true. There are a lot of invisible NPCs in Fallout 3. Alone in the main hall of Rivet City you have at least 2. Then count all the kidz to it and you have a damn lot of "invisible NPCs". Same to the Citadel there you hav as well a few invincible NPCs NOT tied to your main quest.

(what is really funny though is that you can KILL EVERYTHING and whipe out the whole citatedl ... and 3-4 days later they still offer you help ... awesome bethesdian logic.)

You mean "invincible". You had me confused for a second there.

I dunno, maybe he's right. Maybe this game is chock full of interesting NPCs and there just invisible.

You know what that means right? ROAD TRIP!

too add to the burning pyre before our hate-filled glittering gem like eyes...

I made a char, just to check something in FO3

EN 1
ST 1
INT 1

being that I couldn't make a purely 1 stat char, i spread the points in the rest, and tagged shitty skills.

And my test, I went straight to Springvale school, and yes, yes I can still kill everything with easy (game on 'hard')

to the point wherein my EN 1 char stood in front of a combat shotgun wielding raider and punched him to death.

This helped satisfy one thing in my mind, I hate this game more now, the fun of exploring/critter killing is fading fast, and the glaring SHIT that is the game is now shining brightly.

Can other players confirm that? Maybe with a video?
 
A video would be great. Just show the stats with EN1 ST1 INT1 at the start, and record the whole killing part.

And on the end a text

"AS YOU CAN SEE, YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT STATS WHILE PLAYING FALLOUT 3! HURRAY!"

Thanks. You need to show the attributes, the difficulty, the skills and the kills, to state the obvious. That is the "Master of Science" speaking out of me now. :)

I don't call this a great game. I think it is a decent game. I don't compare it solely to Fallout 1 and 2. I find that irrational. I compare it to other things on the market currently....
Click to expand...
why is it irrationial to compare the sequel to the past games? Seriously. And oppinions aside, just about facts. I know one might not "like" to see it compared but as said why should it not been done?
Click to expand...

IMO it is much more irrational to compare FO3 to Oblivion, because:

a) (supposedly) different type of game;
b) Both are made by the same company, so it is more like an advertisement than a fair comparison. For fair comparison, put it next to games similar in genre made within the last 3-4 years by different companies: compare FO3 to Witcher EE, Mass Effect, STALKER, NWN2:MoB, etc.

Yuppie! Waiting for the vid! If it's good enough, it will deserve to be put out on the front page ;)
 
Other than 'showing difficulty setting' I have done exactly as asked! I've edited up 30 mins game-play to show stats and me in a vault security uniform fist fighting Vs 3 raiders (out the back of the school) sadly none had a combat SG this time, but I will state that I did it before and I could sure as hell do it again.

And yes before people whine about it I used Stimpacks! (oh noes..)
*edited point* sorry for the slow Frames per second, i did this on mah lappy which only just handles FO3, it seems to dislike running beyond 4fps while FRAPS does its thang...
*edity end*

The only reason I forgot to show difficulty is that the game has been stuck on hard mode and I'm loathed to even contemplate any other setting, the vid is currently compiling (anyone know better free editing software? W!ndowz moovi maker is shite)

Will edit this post when its done

====attack of the zenimax! see my next post!====

Yes please do that. I need something to post when talking with die hard Fallout 3 fans about the meaning of "roleplaying" :mrgreen: :clap:
 
Ok utoobe is clearly a no go, the vid was removed instantly. anyone know where I can post this video?

As for youtube (and no doubt zenimax / bethsoft) censorship is wrong, people should be allowed to post stuff. Its a dark age ahead folks where your opinions will be censored.

Why was it removed? I see a damn lot of Fallout 3 videos on youtube ... it really ... surprises me why it got removed? Nothing against you of course mate, but as said it just seems so unlikely compared to all the crap one can see either about Oblivion or Fallout 3 on youtube (like those guy that had some fun with the MIRV luncher ... just an really awfull weapon. Seriously).
 
Wonder why my video wasn't removed :/

Do you have myspace? you can put videos there, and in better quality.

Or register and download something called "Veoh". I'm sure nobody will remove that from there.
 
I would take a tentative guess, that a FO3 fan saw the intention was to discredit FO3's SPECIAL system, and reported the post?

I'm guessing that if a video gets even a single report immediately after being posted, the likelihood of being pulled is high. Could even be automatically removed, if the reporting is almost instant.
 
In that case, I will report every FO3's fan-made video, which prises FO3 on youtube :P

Seriously, this means a WAR!
 
OK veoh seems to work, I did originally annotate to help viewers understand what was going on, but utoobe made me cry.

*edit*FYI no, there is no sound, and yes you do see a console pop up, I was typing YYAAAWWWN, cos I was getting bored, the quality ain't great, but view in 'fullscreen' and you can clearly make out my stats.
 
Well that's a pretty big nail in the coffin for me... Thanks for the vid.
