Fallout 3 – Main Storyline Ending – What?

September 11th, 2009

SPOILERS! All those who’ve not completed Fallout 3 please GTFO (or not – I don’t care).

So, guess who finished Fallout 3? Yeah, I did. All the way through the main quests, anyway. (I’m still working on some of the side quests.) Frankly, I thought the ending sucked. Don’t get me wrong, I am still thoroughly enjoying the game, but, really? I explode and/or die of radiation poisoning and that’s it? Sure, I love to feel all brave and heroic as much as the next person, but I was not having any of the whole sacrifice yourself for the good of future mankind crap. I wanna live!! Live, garsh darnit! I want to beat the crap out of Super Mutants for years and years to come! =(

But really though, the game ends, abruptly, and after not half as much of an exciting final quest as i’d expected (the giant robot does everything for you – can you say “wtf”?). Then, you’re left with nothing. Literally, as far as I am aware, nothing. You have to go back to a previous save point in order to continue playing the game. I know there are downloadable expansions, but i’m po’ and have not yet gotten to those. Anyway, my point is that the end was boring, and i’m not especially satisfied. Boo, Fallout 3, boo.

I’ve still got lots to do with the side quests and thankfully, i’d still consider myself to be a huge fan of the game overall. So… main storyline ending: dumb. Game all around: awesome.

I will continue to play until killing Deathclaws becomes all humdrum and such…

or Left 4 Dead 2 comes out. Which ever comes first.

Cheers!
