Fallout 3 ending...

[funkysandwich]

It's still a crappy ending...

 

Couldn't they have arranged for your companions to die in some "random" explosion?

Like, they could all charge forward and get hit with a bomb from a fat man... It would make more sense.

In case ya all dont know the GNR is the one that tells you your achievements for those who complain about the ending being too shart and not showing any achievements

 

Three Dogs incoherent ramblings hardly tell you what the lasting effects of your actions are.

I'd much rather have Ron Perlman tell me how "With the bomb in it's center diffused, Megaton became a wealthy trade hub in the capital wasteland" or "The once vibrant Tenpenny Tower fell into disrepair and disuse as the few remaining ghouls, tired of Roy's psychotic leadership, left for the harsh wastes leaving him alone, king of a hollow and empty ruin."

That's just paraphrasing the kind of thing we should've seen, but you get the idea.

My point was that either case is valid and saying that one does not care or that they could care less are both appropriate to a situation where one cares little or not at all about a subject depending on whether they do or do not have a care.

 

IOW 0wn3g.

 

Saying "I could care less" in a manner that's meant to indicate that you don't care at all is incorrect.

 

The statement "I could care less" indicates some level of concern for the matter at hand. In 99.9% of circumstances, the statement is completely meaningless.

 

"I could care less" is completely different from "I don't care."

 

In mathematical form:

 

"I could care less" == "I care"

 

"I couldn't care less" == "I don't care"

 

"0wn3g" == "I am an idiot"

"It bothers me sometimes (therefore I care), but I could care less (the level that I care could be lower)." I wouldn't even count most things this statement ["I could care less"] is used towards as incorrect. "Did you know Russia just got nuked?" "No, but I could care less."

 

To keep this short, (I could go on a long pedantic rant about how everyone must care to some degree about anything as long as they have knowledge about it) I'll simply state that either statement is grammatically correct and gets the point across. Getting angry when someone uses one statement instead of the other is unnecessary and he shouldn't grind his teeth over it anytime he hears it (as he posted).

 

Addendum: Calling me an idiot was really hurtful. Really, I may break down and cry.

Personally, I could care less. :P

Personally, the ending was everything I could hope for.

What else do you need? A 2 hour motion picture telling you what you did or what is going to happen now?

All the important things were mentioned, I actually fell bad when the narrator 8and he DID!) mentioned me blowing up megaton, I was reliefed when my choice not to put the virus in there was right (the president did make a good point after all!) and alltogether thats all I need.

 

I know what I did and why I did it. I dont need nobody telling me all these things again and I wonder why you would...

 

 

And how come the game was short? Maybe the main story was, but do you play any other games beside RPGs? Have you noticed that games today usually dont even last for 10 hours? This game has so much to do, altogether I have played nearly 100 hours with both my characters and with both I havent even done half of whats there to do. Get the Prima Guide and take a look at all the things you've missed so far!

 

Best RPG ever, goodbye Morrowind!

 

 

 

 

If you didnt play fallout 1 and 2, you wouldnt know why these people whine and complain about... I dont want a 2 hour ending, but if you find any videos of fallout 1 or 2 endings, you will understand how we feel about this franchise... This is one of the best games ever made so we the hardcore fans want a bit tidier approach to the game...

 

I press a button I die, she presses a button she dies, I stick a bottle to the machine the mutants die... whoa how colorful ending right? I would love you to see vault city and ghoultown in fallout 2 (god I hate that overseer gal in VC...)

 

and I dont think the game is too short but the bad thing is BEFORE the lvl cap, the game would force you to finish, otherwise you wouldnt get any xp from side quests after lvl 20, so I would like to beat the game when I am lvl 20 or 19... so I wouldnt bother with many side quests... so I dont see much of the world...

 

and last of all, the best RPG ever made is Baldur's Gate I and II :) sadly fallout III is nowhere near BG series...

[socksftw]

Meh, the fallout 3 ending >.<

 

So, I got myself a copy this christmas, and played it alot. The game's brilliant. I completed it the day after I got it, and I never thought how amusing it could be shooting the heads off of enraged super mutants and the like. The build up to the ending was EPIC, and I mean EPIC. So epic I just couldn't stop screaming "vulk yeah!!! WOO!!" At the top of my voice. Being captured by the government and blowing my way out with a shotgun was amazing. Reasoning with the computer, making it self-destruct was epic. Rock music pounding away in the background (From my cpu ^^), I jumped out to find my freind with laser/gatling gun thing, me yelling "vulk YEAH!" At the top of my voice. The raid on the purification thing was EPIC, that hench robot thing was brilliant. But when I got to entering the code in the water purifing thing, I was honestly expecting alot more, instead of the player just collapsing there and then, then hearing something from my own funeral or something. I was excpecting to somehow survive, as if a miracle had been formed from my good deeds. I was expecting something completely different. To be honest, I don't really care about the video at the end. It is nice to hear about my good deeds, but I wanted to survive, I wanted to see these changes take place. I really hate it in an RPG game where after the main quest you can't carry on, because then I have to start from somewhere that's right in the middle of the chaos, and for some reason this really annoys me.

 

What I really wanted at the end, was some miracle of surviving. I don't know how it would be possible, but I thought bethesda would surprise me. Well, just something to mod :P

 

And I havn't played the old fallout games, so I'm not really expecting what others might be.

Guys there are Good news, it is from the "Bethesda Blog" so "save your character Before the Ending":

 

From the Interview with Jeff Gardiner:

 

Will players be allowed to play as their existing characters in the DLC? Since “Broken Steel” takes place after the main story, how will this be addressed? Will it work similarly to Shivering Isles, where the new quests simply get added to your Pipboy, or will you have to load up a brand new game?

 

Jeff Gardiner: Yes, all of our DLC drops right into an existing game. Which is a double edged sword, or course, it requires a lot of testing and fine balance tuning on our part! In our third DLC, “Broken Steel,” we’ve come up with a way of allowing the player to continue on past the game ending… by changing it! You will not have to load in a new game to play any of the DLC material – though you will have to finish the main quest to experience most of what “Broken Steel” has to offer. That being said, we are raising the level cap, so even if you don’t complete the main quest you can experience the expanded content by leveling up past 20.

 

Goodies!

We All just have to wait Until "The Broken Steel" DLC Comes out!

And pay money. While it's good that Bethesda are listening, I'm not exactly thrilled at the prospect of having to pay extra for an ending that doesn't completely suck lemons and a post-game play feature that came with Morrowind and Oblivion for free.

[macmert]

I will not pay for this... nope sorry... Publish an unfinished game, come up with a stupid retarded illogical ending, then expect me to pay for it... Bethesda tries to rob us blind, good for you Beth keep it up... I will play Baldur's Gate and Jagged Alliance II, at least they dont want my wallet...
