Fallout 3 may be one of the few games where you can be legitimately evil, to the point where you might as well be the villain.

1. You can murder your way out of the Vault (Mostly excusable as self defence...except when you execute the unarmed Overseer who is essentially your prisoner at the time)

2. You can nuke a town full of innocent civilians, including children, for money and an apartment.

3. You can join a group of slavers and then go around enslaving people for money. (As well as using said slaves for combat)

4. You can enslave children, but they cannot be used in combat...still though...

5. You can go out of your way to kill a vault full of innocent people...like REALLY out of your way.

6. You can kill a sentient tree, therefore preventing new plants from growing in the wasteland.

7. You can ally with the robotic president of The Enclave and poison the water supply of the river (A move that The Enclave themselves think is pretty evil...and they're THE VILLAINS)

8. You can send in one of your followers to turn on the water purifier (Or poisoner) in place of yourself, thus getting them killed.

9. You can (In the epilogue DLC) fire a nuke at The Citadel, the HQ of The Brotherhood of Steel, killing untold numbers of people as well as all of their leadership.

10. You can kill and eat your dog.

So...tell me a game that trumps THAT shit.

Fallout 3 gets alot of hate i notice. And i don't understand why. I think its a great game.
While many talk about how great New Vegas is.

@LegionIscariot I think it's because the story feels very linear...I don't dislike that though...I just don't like the gameplay as much...it's my only real gripe with New Vegas as well.

Bethesda were pretty bad at gunplay back then.
@Fangirlsarah1996 I don't follow the main story straight to the end. I do exploring in-between which is how these games should be played.
The shooting isn't great (you must rely alot on VATS).
But i liked the characters. I liked the missions.
I liked the music.
I like the overall atmosphere of the game. It felt like a post apocalypse.
New Vegas was more like a western.

@LegionIscariot That is a very fair analysis...New Vegas doesn't fit the theme of Fallout...it is a steampunk western ala "Wild Wild West"

And the world is just as empty as Fallout 3's is...except all the characters outside of The Strip are depressing and without any real character apart from "This place is shit"

But...I still like New Vegas...
@Fangirlsarah1996 I enjoyed both games. I just feel Fallout 3 gets alot of hate.

@LegionIscariot Unnecessary hate...same with Fallout 4, just because there aren't multiple endings to each quest.

Or "It doesn't feel enough like an RPG"

What even is an RPG to these people? I mean...an RPG barebones is when you play a character and you can develop that character in a way that you can choose...if Fallout 4 isn't an RPG then I don't know what the fuck it is.

Sorry about the rant there.
