no, shut up, buy the entire thing right now, this is a fantastic bundle. excited to see if they can keep it up when games are added next week, but it's already more than worth the average price as is.

The Swapper is SO GOOD YOU GUYS
I play Monaco. Hit me up if you want a game.
I'll explain it to you. You have to get someone else to understand it for you.
I've slowly come to the realization that maybe Bethesda games just aren't for me. I hear these stories of people losing themselves in the worlds of Fallout and Elder Scrolls for hundreds of hours... and I don't really get it, at all. I played the fuck out of Oblivion because it was like the first game I ever played after I got a 360 and new television, but the games lose their charm very quickly for me and I wind up never going back to them. There's just so much... NOTHINGNESS going on in them. I guess that open exploration is part of the appeal? I dunno, I don't really like it.
Fallout 3 has that "nothingness" feeling for me, and Skyrim also has this to a lesser extent, but New Vegas and Oblivion felt populated by some relatively memorable characters.
I still enjoyed Skyrim, though, and I liked Fallout 3 enough to soldier through the platinum PS3 trophy.

I think they patched that with Broken Steel.
Well, sort of.
You could send him in, but apparently it's "selfish" to do so, and "the bad ending", which doesn't make any sense. It's smart. Nobody's getting hurt at all, but apparently, because the point of that whole stupid thing is "selflessness" you're supposed to "sacrifice yourself" unnecessarily.

Spoiler:
I didn't really pay much attention to whether it was the good or bad ending, what was important to me was that my the decision to send Fawkes meant no one had to die. If that's a bad ending, I don't get it.

I think I only played though Fallout 3's story twice. Once as a goodie once as a badie and never again. The main quest is the weakest point of that whole game. I used to love just exploring the whole map and finding little random things that would surprise me. That is pretty much where all my time went in that game.

Agree with this. The quest with Harold really stands out. I didn't even find it til my 3rd or 4th playthrough.

I'll have to replay Fallout 3 but I don't remember any "bad writing" I also loved exploring.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

'power slide' is actually one of the most useful moves
jumping on enemies can work, but it's too weak to be a viable strategy
