If it helps to remember, in all three cases you end the dialogue by either saying, "Lets see how tough you are!" (starts combat); or by saying "I don't want any trouble" (no combat). If you choose latter, they say, in blurbs, that they guess you're an alright guy after all (I'm paraphrasing).
Same thing. You're using an anecdotal segment that does not represent the gross total of the quality of writing in Fallout1, to compare it with the gross total of the quality of writing in Fallout3.
This isn't the only example of fallacious defenses you used in your post. In real-life conversations, hearing someone start those sentences would elicit an immediate "you can't be serious" cringe, which usually makes the person realize they sound like an idiot, and they stop.
The Internet however, allows one to prattle on and on, unchecked, dumping this turd of demagogy on others and then proudly strutting away as if something of significance has been accomplished.
