Okay hot shot I just wanna gauge some opinions on what people liked and didn't like in Fallout 3. Please keep them in following form:
Liked
-combat system was excellent and rarely seemed a chore.
-Big world and good design in buildings, terrain etc.
-Physics was good. Worked in combat effectively.
-Story was pretty solid.
-Great touches in places. Seemed like a labour of love.
Didn't like
-Lack of missions. Sometimes didn't explore places as I thought they'd be for quests. Perhaps a colour-code for minor and major quest locations.
-Bethesda don't do scary, and when they try it er... isn't. A decent scary quest was needed. The Dunwich building was the closest to scary but wasn't a quest. So much could have been done with the voice messages a la System Shock.
-Not little pathos due to lack of immersion. It didn't make me care most of the time. Too much stick not enough carrot.
-Some weapons e.g the dart gun. The formidible guai and deathclaws were turned into slow targets by this. The burnmaster killed anything in ten seconds.
-Whole thing lacked a rough and ready edge. Probably due to engine.
