Forum:Fallout 3 helped me get into the original two!

Fallout 3, the game most people seem to ridicule actually was alright, although it wasn't the greatest by any means I still personally do like it. But! It did manage to make me look into FO1 and FO2 and Tactics so I think it did a great job of helping me discover the earlier games which I have grown to love a lot and it was a worthy investment. That is all. VbirdPilot89 15:04, July 11, 2011 (UTC)VbirdPilot89


 * I was the same. After a bit of searching here on the wiki, I found the story for Fallout 1 and 2 rather interesting... so interesting to the point that I actually found it more compelling than Fallout 3, which I did love. A year later and I find myself as a Obsidian/black isle fanboy... Wow... 5t3v0 00:25, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

It's good to see I am not alone with this post, most people it seems are fans of either the original or the newer ones but not both.VbirdPilot89 15:57, July 12, 2011 (UTC)Vbirdpilot89

 * It's all story. I found the gameplay of the originals to be incredibly boring no matter what I did. TestECull

I'm in this boat too. I took a chance on an eBay copy of FO3 + first three DLC. Paid 15 bucks. Loved the hell out of it. Bought FO1 and FO5 for a fiver and found the engines let them down, so I read the backstory here. NV was an instant pre-order. All in all Fallout 3 is why I know of the series at all, let alone like it...which is part of why the FO1/FO2 fanboys annoy me so much. TestECull
