I was very surprised by how fast I was able to finish the game once I continued the main storyline, that is one of the very few things that I have a problem with in Fallout 3. I uncovered/completed about 80-90% of all areas and quests in the game, got to level 20, and only then continued the main quest and finished the game. It was a blast and I enjoyed every second of it. I am very glad that I didn't follow the main story at all and instead decided to just wander around and do side quests. Not the main story which still great, but too short, and with a unsatisfying ending IMO. Like really played it? It is exactly the side missions that make the game so amazing. I cant help but ask if you even played the game.
#Fallout 3 alttab mods
In other words, without mods I would simply return it for a refund, I would have no interest.Ĭlick to expand.Ahh. Clearly Fallout 3 has more potential and a brighter future for modding than Oblivion ever did (also because the GECK is a little more "capable" than the TES Construction Kit is thanks to some fixes and enhancements).
#Fallout 3 alttab Patch
And perhaps more importantly there's already an Unofficial Patch in the works by the exact same author/team responsible for the Oblivion's and Shivering Isles' UP's (which are fixing more than 4,000 bugs literally, no less than that, from simple misaligned objects to quest-breaking bugs).
#Fallout 3 alttab mod
You should see some of the personal/custom Vaults projects already out there, and there's also a mod which is already building itself to become the OOO incarnation for Fallout 3 (basically a MASS of countless different mods all merged together one way or another into a single bad ass mod).
So, to answer your question directly, patched or not yes Fallout 3 is worth buying, but mostly (if not only, for me) due to the modding community. I'm a modder myself and I already published my own Fallout 3 mod, and I don't intend to stop there. By the same time after Oblivion's release I swear I was using about four or five small mods (textures mostly), but now in Fallout 3 I'm already using 26 mods without counting the textures that don't have separate. I still prefer vanilla Oblivion than vanilla (even patched) Fallout 3, but I could have never thought that Fallout 3's modding would be that much present so fast and in already so good quality after so little time since its release. Good points mentioned by PhatoseAlpha, I would add however that the modding scene/community saved the day already (yes, because there was a day to be saved for Fallout 3 out of the box, of course in my opinion). Oh, yeah, and the obvious question: Have you played Fallout 1 & 2, did you enjoy them, and are you going to judge Fallout 3 as a sequel to those games or as a stand alone? It does much, much better as a stand alone then as part of a series. The are interesting characters, but true to Bethesda, no character is around all that long, so there's nothing like you'd be from modern bioware, much less old school bioware or black isle.
It's much more a problem with ghouls then humans - there are only 2 ghoul voices in the game. The are more voice actors then oblivion, but obviously there is some repetition. Which is why the fan reviews are so mixed - the ending is so god awful insulting, it makes you instantly 10x harder on the game. The thing is, the ending is an outright kick in the teeth, and after it, all those little flaws that were forgiven the first time through will instantly be un-forgiven.
#Fallout 3 alttab full
The game is full of flaws, but the first time through, you won't notice them, and it will be a blast. VATS is really a superpower akin to FEAR point man's slow mo, not an alternative game mechanic. VATS changes a bunch, but don't let anyone tell you it's an equivalent of turn based combat.
Re-skin of Oblivion with guns is probably closer to the truth then Bethesda would admit, but let me be blunt and say Oblivion desperately needed guns. Not game of the year material, but certainly worth $50.
