The thing I worry most about Fallout 3 is the humor. Fallout 1 & 2 were satirical gold. I fear that Bethesda will try but miss the mark the way a blind kid misses the broad side of a barn.
I don't really care about the new perspective and real time combat, that's perfectly fine. What does bug me is the storytelling ability of Bethesda as opposed to Interplay. Try comparing Fallout and Oblivion strictly in storytelling.
PS. Unkillable characters are in the game.

Well, if it's anything like the PA comics they are using to promote it then it's good enough for me.The Admiral post=9.69735.669631 said:
I can't really judge the game til I tried it for myself. Tried Oblivion and didn't like it, yet I love the 2 Fallouts, so I would say I'm optimistic yet cautios.
I most certainly hope it has a more involving story...
Playing oblivion I was mostly busy getting side quests done than the main quest. I found the story shallow. and it's characters boring, save from the king of the shivering isles.
I always liked the gritty fallout style (I never played them but I wasn't into RPG back then).
But I somehow have fate in Bathesda. because dispite it's flaws Oblivion was one hell of great game.
So we'll see I guess just as always.

so its just an FPS! they should have kept it alot like stalker!
I really don't see how being able to finish the game without killing anyone at all and being unable to kill certain people can be used together as reasons the game is bad. You want to be able to kill anyone but not have to kill anyone?
In either case, they have addressed both of these points in various interviews and Q&A sessions. Bethesda has stated that they put as many redundant ways to finish quests as they could and still retain the structure of the quest in order to minimize the number of essential characters. Compared to Oblivion, there's hardly any. And they mentioned that there are very few characters you have to kill, so you can get through with killing a tiny number of people if you are really that dedicated. Even better, at the time of that interview, the guy being interviewed said something about how they were looking into seeing if even that could be changed, but I don't really have high hopes for it.

I think you may have missed my point. I'm definitely going to be killing people, at least on my first few plays through. The questions I was posing was more to get you thinking about how much free choice you'll really have. Bethesda hasn't always done the greatest job in the regard. So to answer your question, yes. I want a game where I don't have to kill anyone, but I also want a game where I can kill anyone I want to. Most importantly, I want at least four different ways to accomplish most any task.mikekearn post=9.69735.669979 said:
Making people unkillable takes options away from me, which goes against what I felt Fallout was for, thus "Strike one."

If there's not an option to make my way through the game without resorting to direct physical violence, I'm not sure if i'll have any interest in it. I mean... the idea of defeating the 'big baddie' with nothing more than a conversation and some evidence is BRILLIANT compared to the normal, 'it's bad it must die' style of gaming that's so pervasive these days.
