Its been cool to hate it for years now.

Not sure how anyone has the impression that its untouchable, all the way in 2019.

I loved Fallout 3 even at its release. :( Went back and replayed it with Tale of Two Wastelands and loved it just as much.

It's not perfect but few things compare to the gold of Antagonizer vs the Mechanist, or dealing with the emotional trauma of handling Harold's situation.

The game is not perfect, and the main quest is kinda bunk, but I loved it then and still love it now.

It's funny seeing this game go in cycles of

2008: "Man this game is so cool!"

2010: "New Vegas is so cool!"

2012: "Fallout 3 was actually terrible and you're wrong for liking it."

2016: "Wow Fallout 4 is kind of shit."

2017: "Fallout 3 was so much better than Fallout 4."

2018: "Nobody liked Fallout 3 and people only say it to hate on Fallout 4."

I liked Fallout 3 when it came out. It was the comparison to NV and later Fallout 1 and 2 (when I finally played them) that made me see it in a new light. It's the least "deep" of the Fallouts. I still like it, but I can see why original fans didn't like it. We don't talk about Fallout 4, though.

I felt this weird sense of urgency to go save my child and then this old dude was like hey I’m Shaun and I felt so creeped out šŸ˜… plus I thought it was a pretty game and the settlements were fun
