Fallout 3 ends in disappointment
After many an hour and quite a few posts on this blog, I have finally finished the main quest of Fallout 3. Now, I feel like I finally know what everyone was complaining about. The main quest ended up being quite short and pretty unsatisfying. I won’t spoil the game for those who have yet to complete it, but suffice it to say that the game’s ending is not particularly epic.
It really leaves me wondering why Bethesda would spend so much time crafting a wonderful, immersive gameplay experience, but then leave the main quest so lacking. While I personally put in a ton of hours on other aspects of the game and thoroughly enjoyed it, anyone who just blazed through the main quest will undoubtedly be left disappointed.
Be that as it may, I fully intend to go back into the game with a new character. My first play through was by and large as a goodie-two shoes, and it will be fun to try out some of the more evil roleplaying options. Also, I am very hopeful that Fallout 3 will inspire some good mods. Unfortunately, it remains to be seen whether an official editor will be released. If Bethesda does get their act together and release a proper editor, there will undoubtedly be a great deal of gameplay left in Fallout 3, both for myself and many others.

Yeah but, Betheseda is known for crazy awesome expansions, like a new map, lots of new quests, new people, so HOPEFULLY, you can continue from were you were again

the end was ridiculous. Flawk, since it’s a supermutant therefore resistant to radiation, was able to get the G.E.C.K easily. If so, why wouldn’t he activate the purifier without taking rad. damage.

totally agree with everyone ! the game play was superb; but the ending?!?! what the “f” word ?? and in Oblivion, you had the chance to continue other quests even if the main quest was over; but in Fallout3, everything ends with that stupid, stupid, very very stupid ending… probably they didn’t have enough time, so the main dude just scribbled the ending while in toilet doing poop or something!
anyways, game is superb expect the cruel “sacrifice my ass with the monkey under the little ion-photon charger . com” ending !
