| shio said: WoW, the "main story" of Fallout is the side-stuff. The main story of Fallout is the path the player chooses to take, and the only pre-defined part of the story is where it begins and where it ends. That's the beauty of Fallout. I'm sorry but that's a cop out. That's like saying Oblivion has a great story because it has a bajillion little side-quests you can do. The base minimum of "stuff" needed to get through the game from start to finish is what I define the "main story" as and by that definition, it is very shallow. It's too bad you only played the first 30min of PS:T (the beginning is the worst part of the game), you won't ever know how deep Morte is. Morte is a confident, a comedian, someone to stay by your side. He witnessed countless incarnations of the Nameless One, and he's seen him become someone distinct everytime from "mighty wizard to petty thief, a paragon of virtue to a heartless villain", to even a Raging Madman. Because of that he shelters himself and much of what he knows until he believes(if he believes) it is safe with the Namelesss One's incarnation the player is controlling. And am I supposed to believe that he's a more engaging or fun character than the likes of Minsc? Deekin? HK-47?

Also, just to show you the gap between Minsc and Morte... Minsc has an ENTIRE Wikipedia page dedicated to him and his pet miniature giant space hamster Boo.
Rather than repost the entire contents, I'll just give you the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsc
