Ok... I dont think anyone will agree with me on this, but I dont think there was enough to do in the game.
I have done, what I believe to be, every quest in the game. I have discovered evey location in the game, I have every weapon, and almost every achevement. The achevements I dont have require me to replay the game.
The game is really short, I did everything in a day of playing. Good and Evil are clearly defined. And there aren't enough quests and real decisions in the game to warrent my replaying the game.
The number of enemies in the game is rather small. The number of weapon variations in the game are even smaller. You cant go into most buildings either.
The game seems almost half done. Oblivion tops it, in my opinion, hands down. There was a lot more to do in it, and it has a lot higher replay value to me.
I'm just curious if anyone agrees with me.

Edit: I would like to point out I did say ALMOST all the achevements, the Karma ones being the ones Excluded... I would also like to say I played for a day, I.E. I woke up in the morining, sat my ass down and didnt get up till about the time I woke up the day previous.

Edit: When I say I have done everything, I don't mean I have Opened Every Lock, Hacked Every Computer, Or done every quest ending. But I have done each quest once, as I cannot bring myself to play through again.

Edit... Again: I am also aware that quest endings differ from eachother quite a bit, but the fact still remains that I dont have enough reason to care about the game, or anything in it, to actually warrent my going back and playing it when I can just as easily go on youtube and see a video of the other endings...

Edit: Yes, I am in some ways, an achevement whore. In the sence that I work to get all the achevements and work out from there... I found no real value to the game, in achevement whoreing or in any of the other various tasks there is to do... That includes the overall environment, the character models, the voice overs, the enemies, ect
*NOTE!!!! Don't get the impression I dislike Fallout's Graphics. They were amazing.

Wouldn't you need to do 3 playthroughs to get all the karma acheivements?

EDIT: Sorry, missed the "almost".

it is impossible to, in one day, have discoveraed EVERY location, finished EVERY quest and done ALL the achievements...and if you have...you have to play less a day

You're crazy? Admitedly Oblivion has more to do, but the combat system in F3 is far superior.
I play it waaay too much, I had sex this morning and my first post coital thought was 'I wonder how many XP points I'd get for that!' Ergo: Awesome game!!

Do you mean you played it all day and got almost everything, or you have 24 hours of playtime?

There is definitely a difference, because I think you exaggerate, sir.

Are you just trolling for the sake of it? Fallout 3 is one of the biggest games this year. I honestly don't belive you got everything in a day.

Fallout three was one of the biggest games of the year BEFORE they released it, now its just a game that, while being interesting and well done, is short.

And has a magnificently stupid storyline with an even worse ending.

I liked it, until you get kicked in the family jewels by the utterly rubbish ending.

It took more than A day, but I wouldn't have minded seeing a few extra side quests. Then again I'd prefer being able to continue playing it post final event

Too much information... far too much information.

Anyway, I have to agree with K3v1n: There is physically no way you can do everything in 1 day; either in the sense of sunrise to sunset or 24 hours.

Sounds like you just farmed the achievements to me, pal.

But if you really did finish 100 hours of content in a mere day, then I salute you.

I am still working on Fallout 3 and thought it had plenty of content, but I do agree that Oblivion is FAR better. I think that Bethesda should have made a TES instead of picking up on a new liscence. While I applaud them for the atmosphere of the game and the boldness of picking up a fanfavorite for a new kind of adaption, I think they should stick to their roots.

I've been roleplaying as I play it, somehow makes everything last a lot longer.

I modded the game so it is ridiculously hard on very hard and I am playing a small guns character. Fun though as 50% of the time I have to run instead of just spamming stim packs.

I still haven't found the code to get to the MIRV Launcher. I refuse to finish my first playthrough until I get my mits on that badboy.

The statement "This game feels half done" rings so very false when I'm not even done my first playthrough and have played almost 30 hours, and I think I've only done maybe 60% of all the quests I could feasibly do on this one playthrough
