Forum:Why Fallout 3 is the greatest game of all time

Write here why fallout 3 is the greatest game of all time! It's the best for a reason, so post multiple at time.

Mine: Awesome plot line and the Open-endedness in the game. Liam Spencer 10:29, January 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's a great game because of the massive amount of open play. It's got the most amazing continuous outdoor game map I've ever seen. Kudos to Bethesda's cartographers. Not convinced it's the best of all time. I really am partial to Eve Online or Civilization III (IV had so many bugs). Alatari 11:03, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Morrowind and Daggerfall > Fallout 3 in terms of continuous outdoor game map. Awesome plot line? Jesus, that's probably the worst written story I've seen in an AAA game and I've seen some bad plots in my life. Last, Fallout 3 is definitely not the best game of all time. It's an ok game, but definitely not the best, not even close. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/thumb/4/4a/Naglowaa_se.gif/11px-Naglowaa_se.gif Tagaziel (call!) 11:35, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

unfortunately i have to agree with mikael here, the story really does suck, however the exploring is the best part i can c, or the side quests, still it is a fun game, just sad when u c tht they made games like oblivion whos story and exploring etc were alot funner.Toolazytomakeaaccount 15:22, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Bethesda did a good job mixing RPG and FPS elements. There is plenty of exploring and a lot of cool characters. Lots of weapon choices. The perk system is a very underrated part of the game. Oblivion had a lot more exploring, but it was more generic than fallout3. Fallout3 does run into the problem of monotonous scenery and a pretty lame story. F3 is a good balance of depth and interface that I never get bored of. JK1464 23:10, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Fallout 3 is a good game but is not the best game ever, that is a matter of opinion.Doctalen 14:36, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I completely disagree. The fallout history is one of the most interesting, mind blowing plots in the history of sci fi video gaming. sure you don't get a super serious story like in mass effect or halo, but if you have played fallout 1 and 2 you'll notice how bethesda made the best fallout so far. And remember the story is very dark humor through the whole game, but believe me the first 2 fallouts where a non-stop laughter at least in dialogues! 190.201.84.83 16:31, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I played both Fo1 and Fo2 and so far Fallout 3 is the worst storywise, dialoguewise and gameplaywise. I did laugh non stop in Fallout 3, but mostly because the story and writing were so cheesy I couldn't do anything else, certainly not take it seriously. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 16:54, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I hate to say this...And I really hate to say this...but I think Bethesda gets worse with each game released. Morrowind was amazing. Oblivion was good, but crappy story and less stuff to do. Fallout has even less stuff to do, and a horrible story. The only thing getting better are the graphics. With each released game, there are more bugs, worse storyline, more bugs, worse mechanics, MORE BUGS...It makes me sad. Tzaro the Outcast 17:11, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

I never have played Oblivion, but I think it MAY be agreeable that Fallout 3 isn't the best. I don't really focus on the negatives, because there aren't many games out that aren't open-ended like this one. The storyline can be annoying, but I like Fallout 3 just the way it iz.

1 thing that makes this game great is the "replayability" if you will - you can replay it many many many times and always as different type of character; there is lots to explore and do ... though I am VERY saddened that there really aren't that many quests ... the wastes sometimes feel like a huge empty area too; before you say that this is "alternate reality" after "nuclear war" and "what do you expect" - I would like to point out the fact that almost 200 years have passed ... and that "life finds a way", so in 200 years I would expect "more" ... that and that I would like to be able to do more custom stuff (weapons and armor) as well as more "repetable" quests (like find 15 ant meats or Yao Guai meats) or something

I do LOVE the game, I loved Morrowind and I LOVED Oblivion, and I have HIGH hopes for Fallout: New Vegas; I agree that Bethesda seems to be advancing and their games have less and less crashes and keep getting more interesting


 * I like Oblivion best, followed by Dragon Age-Origins, and then Fallout 3. LVTDUDE 02:25, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fallout 3 is an amazing game...one of my favorites. I have only played one other game as much as I've played FO3: Oblivion. Oblivion is a great game for many reasons, but lacked the firepower of FO3, which I enjoy a lot. FO3 is great because of the scavenging, the bloody kills and the weapons. I wish it had guilds and character classes that one could join from the beginning like Oblivion. For example, I would like to be a super mutant, a Talon merc or even a death claw.

I'm sorry, the best game ever belongs to the Crowbar'ed One. Big McLargeHuge 06:01, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

 * Oblivion's not bad. Would have been better if they'd payed for some voice actors and maybe had a few deeper quests. Cait &quot;Join The RISEN Wikia&quot; Sith 09:36, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
