The flaws of Fallout

[Argonnot]

Thats what taking a sharp knife to your forehead is for.

Another dumb thing was having forced combat. If they allowed the player to complete 70% of the game with diplomacy, why should they have forced combat in the other 30%, making diplomacy nothing more than a cosmetic option, since you have to have combat skills anyway.

Wrong!

You can complete the game without firing one single bullet. If you choose the right skills you can convince or dodge the enemies and destroy the vats as well as the Master and his Cathedral.

You can of course (as many do) also kill as much as you want to and complete the game with 100% violence.

I still have to kill him.

No you don't. You can join him, too

And in Oblivion, you could also let yourself be killed and allow the Evil God to rule the world. OMG multiple endings.

Newsflash:

This is not Oblivion...

Besides the fact that you're wrong about that, the game was designed to be mostly shooting (the fact that you can get weapons is a relevant example).

And last but not least:
Why would you go to a forum where people who like Fallout talk about the positive things of fallout, and come with this negative nonsense, of course we know that the game has flaws, every game does. But the thing you should do is look past those flaws and find that Fallout is a hack of a game!

In my opinion, Fallout was not as perfect as some of the fans portray it today. Sure, it beats most RPGs today by far, but nevertheless, it could be improved at certain points.

My point is, you can't just say "Yeah, the game has flaws", but not care about them, because they're never going to get fixed. And discussing those flaws should be very useful for Fallout-inspired games such as AoD or FMF.

That's silly, Bullseye, this place is a good spot to discuss flaws because the people here have played it through and through.

Lumpy's criticism of the storyline/non-fighting options was considered and refuted by many people. Some of us have named additional criticisms. None of us are burning the entire game for it.

's fine.
