>woman asks me to deliver a letter to her parents and brother in her hometown >man guarding the hometown gates asks me to check on her parents because a gang called the 'family' has been terrorizing the town >her parents are dead, their necks bitten through, the brother is missing >guy asks me to find the brother and this 'family' gang, doesn't mention that they're cannibals >family gang is hiding someplace completely unrelated to the town and is actually much closer to another town that would be an easier target >family gang leader tells me that they're cannibals and that he's no different from a hunter going after prey >tell him that his kind needs to be purged from the earth causing him to attack >wipe out the cannibals with nuclear fire >find the missing brother, tells me that he killed and ate his parents and that the family gang was helping him understand what he is >apologize for killing 'family' gang, give him his sisters letter and tell him to go home >he agrees to go home and tells me to go back and inform his hometown's gate keeper >arrive at hometown >mission failed: the residents of hometown are now hostile to you because you killed the gang of cannibals that was eating them >go back to woman who asked me to deliver the letter, she's now a generic npc and doesn't say anything
That quest line gives you max rewards for appeasing the vampires and the town at once retard, you don't kill the family
Jackson Foster
why would you not kill a bunch of emo cannibal freaks?
Robert Hernandez
Because they give you a shishkebab schematic and the vampire edge sword. Go back and kill them after the quest if you really want
Brayden Flores
game should have allowed you to join colonel Autumn It was only the computer that was a fucktarded genocidal maniac, Autumn's plan was to use his control over the water supply to set up a military dictatorship over the wasteland which given how idiotic every other faction is, would be a god damn improvement. This isn't new vegas where there's a proper alternative to the legion
Leo Johnson
>mission failed: the residents of hometown are now hostile to you because you killed the gang of cannibals that was eating them This is the bit that annoyed me with that quest. You'd think Arefu would be fine with the family being wiped out since they all sound pissed off about them. But, as it turns out, when you do the quest the NPC faction identities become shared so killing the Family ends up turning the people of Arefu against you. So you have this problem on the quest programming side too.

3 had a lot of cut content
Oliver Clark
Yeah 3 is a fine game, it is just obvious that it was laying groundwork for the improvements of NV. They hadn't made a fallout game in this style, so they did it like Oblivion and just played things safe.
Mason Brooks
You can actually try and help them but it never actually matters because they still hate you. I remember you can put their poison serum or whatever in the water purifier and it doesn't actually change anything. Also in one of the DLCs I think you can nuke the Citadel and it also doesn't really matter. You wipe out the brotherhood and they hate you, but the enclave soldiers still hate you to.
Aiden Ortiz
true enough bit of a shame, a choice between stable dictatorship and unstable freedom would have fit fallout
it's also really obvious that originally FO3 was going to be set 25-50 years after the bombs, not 200
Camden Barnes
>stable dictatorship and unstable freedom would have fit fallout that was really showed in The Pitt DLC
>going to be set 25-50 years after the bombs I remember seeing that red pip boy screen and the date on the pip boy was like 20 years after the bombs
The thing about the main quest that I like is how much of it is skippable if you either lucked into Smith Casey's garage or have prior knowledge. I thought it was cool on my second playthrough when I went to that vault and dad was actually there, not waiting to spawn because of quest triggers
David Myers
>>man guarding the hometown gates asks me to check on her parents because a gang called the 'family' has been terrorizing the town
This is actually the stupidest part
The town is built on top of a tall highway bridge with one side collapsed, so theres only one way in or out which is covered in landmines and watched by the guard. if anyone entered the settlement he would know about it
Carson Parker
>I remember you can put their poison serum or whatever in the water purifier and it doesn't actually change anything. that's the thing, Autumn actually doesn't want to put the poison in the water supply, that's entirely on president computer He wants the exact same clean water your father and the BoS want, the difference is while they would make it available to everyone as a neutral faction, Autumn's plan was to set up hydraulic despotism to unify the wasteland Autumn is a fairly nuanced character that feels like he belongs in one of the other fallout games
Jeremiah Taylor
>whataboutobsidian bethesda was bad before obsidian shamed them. grow up you toddler.
Anthony Rivera
Ian killed his parents
Michael Perry
The Pitt shows that Bethesda did have writers that actually got what fallout was about, they just didn't have the guts to go for it in the main game
Angel Bennett
Point lookout and the Pitt are fantastic, too bad zeta and Anchorage suck ass
Noah Perez
The Pitt, Point Lookout, and even Broken Steel gave you the option to destroy the BoS
it seems like a lot 3's flaws ironically come from tying themselves to hard to established fallout lore had they set it a few decades after the bomb fell and used entirely new factions (at this point another military remnant existing would have been entirely plausible) the writing could have been good
Dylan Wright
The leader drops those two items when you kill him. There's no way I'm going to let a bunch of cannibals live just because they'd learned how to control their murderous intent to just assault causing bodily harm.
Christopher Davis
Fucking wasteland moralfags. Sack the arefu Eat the family Nuke the megaton
Grayson Hernandez
>tying themselves to hard to established fallout lore They were of doing something so different would turn off the already established fandom. Also they were following the disastrous Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel game
Oliver Gray
what bothers me about nuking megaton is not that you do it, it's that you do it so cheap if you're going to have me nuke a settlement of the earth I'm expecting a LOT more than just an apartment
