Re: Disappointments and Surprises

After years of my friends and partner raving about the Fallout games, I've spent the past week trying to get into Fallout 3 as a starting point. I'm a massive fan of the Elder Scrolls series, and everyone said "it's basically that but post-apocalyptic." Also I thought the TV trailer looked neat, so hey, why not get into the fandom?

I am so not having a good time. I'm really, really trying to like it, and I do really enjoy the whole lore/backstory, but in actual gameplay it just feels like it's fighting me every step of the way. Everything feels like a slog, I can appreciate the work that's gone into crafting a realistically "bombed out" world but I just don't feel motivated to actually explore any of it because it all looks like a big pile of garbage and that just doesn't excite me. I just keep running into little mechanics and snags that irritate me (I can't rest outside like in ES and have to shell out for a room, I get negative karma for stealing even though NOBODY WITNESSED ME STEALING)

Maybe it's time for me to accept that it's just not my bag, but I'm currently studying game dev and get bombarded with Fallout love and how well-made it is and I just don't get it.

I just feel really left out and like I'm missing something.
