Zen, that's not at all the main complaint Fallout fans have with this game. What we care about is the interaction and the atmosphere. Fallout 1 and 2 were full of raunchy and witty humor, clever and fun NPCs, and an engaging world that encouraged exploration, rather than following the plot. This is not what Fallout 3 is, and that's why most of us reject it. I hope you gamers unfamiliar with the franchise manage to enjoy it, but you will not find terribly many Fallout fans excited about this game.
