Quote:After playing 90% of FO3 including finishing the main story and most of the optional side quests I have come to the conclusion that bethesda really has little to no skill when it comes to game design and that they are completely comfortable riding out the self congratulatory masturbation they must partake in everytime they look at a copy of Oblivion GotY edition.
Bethesda: You've gotten really good at making interesting and attractive environments. Now if only you could learn how to make a good game to go in those environments.
Don't hold back now, tell us how you really feel.;)
After playing around some more at my friends house, and seeing some of the complaints about the endgame mission, I can see why and how some players are pissed about it.
The PC version from last I heard, will have the GECK mod kit released, and a bunch of added missions and possibly patch updates and the likes. (IIRC, you can now continue after the last mission. I could be wrong on that one though. Maybe some differences and delay between different platforms. Console will most likely not get the GECK kit.)
But yeah, bethsoft brought their strength, and their usual weakness too it seems. I don't mind their take on the turn based system. They're still one of the top companies when it comes to environments. Some of the missions, meh. Kinda like you said, I had a slight deja vu', didn't I play this mission in Morrowind?
My personal rating of FO3 will probably wind up the same way Morrowind did. Get the PC version if possible, because chances are the mods are what will make the game feel complete. Or at least have the potential to tailor it to your personal liking.
