Fallout 3
I finished Fallout 3 today. As much as this game IS entertaining and rich in content, I uninstalled it and don't plan on reinstalling it.

Because, that's it. I FINISHED the game. Contrary to Fallout 1 and 2, Fallout 3 has no replay value. You're strongly cast in the role of the Good Savior of humanity. Playing an Evil Scourge forces you to play against your character numerous times, and clearly feels out of place in the main quest. And after exiting vault 87, things are so much planned that it feels like a rail shooter until the end - and doing anything else than rushing to the attack would break the momentum.

I won't bother with the downloadable contents. At least my boyfriend will enjoy it a while too. After that, I think it'll land on GameStop or EBGames shelves.

In 2-3 years, when the community will have corrected all the bugs that Bethesda can't be bothered to, maybe I'll buy back a collector edition with all the extensions included. But I'll buy it from GameStop or EBGames. I'm not in the mood to give money to Bethesda anymore.

Fallout 1 and 2, on the other hand, are still installed and running on my rig. I never grew tired of those two gems.


 * Two years later ... I did buy a collector with all DLC included. And I did buy it second-hand, as most of all the debugging that was done over the years was made by the community of modders and not by Zenimax/Bethesda/Whatever - Hell, New Vegas was even released with 2 years old engine bugs ! Fallout³ 1.7 still runs worse than Fallout³ 1.0.0.15, so Bethesda certainly do not deserve any money.
