This seems rather hypocritical. You barrate him for making assumptions about games he hasn't played, and then talk about the supposed issues of Fallout 3 (and your story description is amazingly wrong) without anything leading me to believe you've played it yourself.

 

 You're free to check my Gamertag (BrainBoxLtd) and see how much I've played the game. I know you're actually finding your dad and then purfying the water that's been poisioned by the war while the enclave are after you, but for me it's still just a form of saving the world.

 

Sounds like an oversimplification by someone who just doesn't like the genre in general, but I don't like Fallout 3 enough to get into a debate about its qualities, so screw it.  Now talk bad about Persona or VC and we'll have a debate on our hands.

No... i'd say his explination is about right... and i like Fallout 3.

It's not really anything different from the Elderscrolls line when it comes to storytelling.

Beth has good gameplay, but as far as storytelling goes in an RPG.... they just don't do it well.

It may be because they are trying to fit a linear traditional story in a sandbox game... when most people have yet to realize sandbox games are horrible vehicles for this kind of storytelling and you need to "evolve" with it.
