Forum:Let's Clarify

Alright, so I just started playing Fallout 3 (yes people I'm a little late) and I seem to be confused about the heated argument surrounding the story. I have completed it and am on my second play through, and didn't think the story was all that bad. People seem to keep alluding too the fact that the first and second ones were much better, and after reading the summaries I can't say that I wholly agree. Though they each have their own merits I cannot see them having the emotive prowess that Fallout 3 displays (plus your father is Lliam Neeson, which is freaking awesome). In a world where games have the stories written by toddlers having fantasies about space marines and God forbid any mythology ever, Fallout 3 has uniqueness, emotion and an immersion that is almost second to none. Basically I'm just confused why alot of the Fallout fan base says it's bad... It seems that things could've been handled WAY worse. So why are you complaining?

 * Hold on, you haven't actually played the first two? Just read the plot summaries? Maybe you should get the whole picture before you start posting stuff like this. I can't answer for a lot (yeah, that is TWO WORDS) of the Fallout fan base, but in my opinion FO3 was a little immature and lacked a true climax/anticlimax cycle that is the mark of a strong story. Plus, the writing was atrocious, and don't even get me started on the logical and scientific inconsistencies of the plot. Seriously though, go play the first two and then rethink your point. Hold on, you probably won't do that because you've read the plot summaries already! D'oh! --Johnny Trash (Talk) 14:37, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * To be fair, you can't really call FO3 out on scientific inconsistencies, the franchise has the built in excuse of using the make-it-up-as-we-go-along "Science" of 1950's pulp sci-fi. And that's all I have to say on the subject, as I see a vast army of trolls on the horizon. The Grammar Police 01:19, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

One contribution + user name + only read the plot summaries = troll. Topic locked.--Gothemasticator 01:25, November 16, 2010 (UTC)
