I've probably made several posts on the site saying how much I enjoy/love Fallout 3. IMO it's a great game.
That being said, the difficulty is... Well, lacking at times. I enjoy the inventory management and I like trying different paths to get to the end with different skills, but if you get to level 30, you'll end up having 100 in MOST skills anyway, there's not a whole lot of choice there for WHERE your points go. Most of them will be the same.
As a sandbox "run around and shoot things then take their stuff" game it's pretty much perfect. Like "Just Cause" beyond that, there isn't much else. The overall story is short, even if you include the side-missions as part of the 'story' of the capital wasteland, its pretty repetitive after a while. Even after buying all the DLC I found myself taking long breaks from the game just so that when I go back to it it's fun again.
The item management, the character customization (to a point) and just how much fun it is to explore and find everything I can makes it a fun game. But I'll admit that it isn't perfect. For me, it puts me in a similar mindset that World of Warcraft did. The repetition may be too much at times, but it's still really fun to play.
Basically you have to like sandbox games, non-linear games, RPGs, FPS', and games that aren't too much of a challenge to enjoy Fallout 3.

man-slap for you sir.
as for you, OP, I think you just or skipped too much in both playthroughs, or Fallout simply isn't your thing.
Its all a matter of opinion, I cant really explain why i didnt like fallout, i wouldent even call it boaring cos it wassent, i just didnt enjoy the whole experience.Toasted Nuts said:Well if u didnt like Fallout 3 how could you like Oblivion??? Easily one of the most overrated games of all time, a complete let down in my opinion. I was a massive fan of Morrowind and oblivion was just a joke to be honest.DEATHROAD said:
On Fallout 3 though, game tastes are personal, a lot of people love the game, whereas i know some people who hate it for one reason or another. Because other people liked it, doesnt mean you'll like if u play it there way, u just dont like it.

On Topic though, I had a lot more fun exploring in the game, I think. Problem is that you're really being railroaded when you do the main quest, whereas you have more influence on the outcome of all the little side-quests.
Edit: Which makes it easier to create your own story within the game, which at least improves the immersion to me.
I loved it, but I think that could well say more about me than you, when I play a game I immerse myself quite deeply into it, hence the recent falling out with the FF franchise. As long as you can imagine the protagonist is yourself I'm all over it.
Someone mentioned Borderlands and gotta say I loved that too, FPS games are easier to immerse yourself into

I admit I played both PS3 and 360 to collect the trophies and achievements, but I got the Platinum trophy before the DLC appeared on PSN and I wont get it again just for those trophies.
For me, the side quests and exploring the wasteland were the best part. In fact, I've never finished the main quest and yet I've played well over 150 hours, just wandering the wastes and entering every building that I could. I even entered the simulation without having any idea of what was going on!
