Forum:Fallout 3 gripes

Now don't get me wrong, I love this game. But I think that there are many things that should have been added to the game that weren't. 1. Facial expressions: When I tell Lucy West her parents are dead, I expect her to start bawling, not have the same blank expression that she would have if I told her the time of day. 2. Stupidly small settlements: One word: Arefu. 3. Not enough variety in enemies: by the time I get to level 20, I don't want to be fighting Super Mutant Masters and Deathclaws all the damn time. 4. This one is a bit of my personal opinion, but I'd like better death animation. For example, when I kill someone with the Flamer, they just lie there on fire for a second, then it goes out and they look the same as if I had shot them in the chest with a hunting rifle, when they should be a pile of smoking ashes. 5. All the voices are incredibly repetitive. Every old guy in the game sounds exactly the same. I think Beth should have spent less of their money hiring big actors like Malcolm Mcdowell and Liam Neeson, and more of it hiring voice actors who have enough talent to not use the same fucking voice for every character they play. Please comment if you have other gripes or disagree with me, because I really do like this game, and I'm not one of those people who wish it was exactly like the originals.

Bro, let's some that shit up. The key word you had there was variety. Like for real, The only reason I probably still play Bethseda's Morrowind & Oblivion is because I don't see desert every-fucking-where I look. But I stand the same; I don't want to bitch at something I love<3. Perhaps the older fallout's that took place around the west coast and had a different style were better in such a sense.

tsst! Dude's, F1 and F2 were in the wastland aswell, new california republic, san fransisco and vault city had a some grass and living trees, otherwise than that, it was desert. Oh and look, F3's map is smaller than F1 and F2's maps'. So that's another reason as to why there isn't that much variety.

And more enemies? We have Gecko's, I don't understand why they didn't make a return, we had wanamingo's, but they're extinct, we had mantis, but they're pathetic, we had floaters which was in the F3 art but weren't used, and then we had spore plant, which woulden't really make a good enemy seeing as they're stuck to the ground.

Otherwise than that, there really aren't so many more enemies, maybe you were expecting too much, but fallout don't have "that" many. New to fallout were, feral ghoul, feral ghoul roamer, yao guai, mirelurk/hunter/king, bloatfly, fireant, trog, supermutant brute/master/behemoth. There actually are alot of new arrivals.

Yeah, I was kinda sleep deprived when I wrote this. There's a great amount of enemies, but I still think they should have added in the other things. Also, sorry if it started to sound a bit like a rant. Broeman 12:39, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

♠ I agree to a certain extent, Broeman. But in a sense, I kinda see why Bethesda wasn't able to take too many liberties with the game. The story of Fallout just doesnt allow for a wide variety of places outside of the ruins of a city or nuclear wasteland, unfortunately. I like what they did in the OA pack, where they at least attempted to change our surroundings quite a bit by making a simulation, but yeah, I do wish that the environment allowed for more than what was given. But like you said, I can't really complain about a game I love. Fallout rocks. Cheers!!! Magnum101 09:14, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

I actually said nothing about variety in locations, other people said that. I actually love the gameworld. Broeman 10:50, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

♠ My bad. I meant to say that the lack in variety of wasteland contributes to the lack in variety of creatures. Sorry I wasn't clear. Cheers! Magnum101 13:28, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
