Fallout 3 ending...

[socksftw]

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...

 

They're selling the DLC, not the ending. If you get what I mean :sweat:

[Ihoe]

I Agree, I Also Won't pay for a useless OVERPRICED DLC just to see the ending of the game. I'll only download if it's free or at least free for the first 3 Days that it comes out, Like Fighters stronghold for oblivion.

The game itself was fabulous, but the ending was filth :wallbash: . For goodness sake, a slideshow?! The ending is what I would expect from a novice modder, not the developer of Fallout 3.

 

I'll buy any DLC that comes out, at least I'll get to play the game more and get a replacement for that bull**** ending. I just hope they don't price it as much as Shivering Isles because, frankly, there are some things that just don't need to be payed for (Like a good ending and post-ending gameplay, which is what I would expect from Beth).

I also hope that they release a few very good DLC, instead of a dozen mediocre ones (Oblivion).

Agree. I think that Bethesda, by deciding to purchase the franchise, should at least have undertaken to do the equivalent kind of ending (even though FO2 just had a slide show). Just a little more effort could have yielded an FO2-style "complete" ending, with animations rather than a slide show. Hell, i have seen fan-made FO3 animated scenes that beat the lame BethSoft slide show to flinders.

I am rather unimpressed with the proposed BethSoft DLC. Maybe (as in the case with Oblivion) I will buy a compendium version towards the end, but I don't feel any pressure to bother with the Battle of Anchorage or The Pitt as they come out. They seem to concentrate on elements of the game I find least interesting. I think I will be better-served by the fan mods that will include more interesting (to me) quests and roleplaying elements.

you know I think thats one thing Bethseda has problems with. Endings.

 

Oblivion was...well...I didnt like most endings. I didnt do knights of the nine yet dont plan to either but for the main it leaves you bewildered and your like "wtf?" and shivering isles "you become the madgod and sheogorath dies?" no really wtf? and then in this man I was glad my friends warned me before hand about F03 ending.

 

Ill tell ya something though Bethseda is very smart with how they market...and not only that they are also good at picking up old long lost franchises like the elder scrolls or fall out i mean hell I never even heard of the franchises until TES:IV came around and FO3 so hell thats got to count for something.

 

and I can see how they can be real penny pinchers i mean FO3 feels like and in someways looks like Fallout 3 hell I actually was debateing my with my friends "is this game just oblivion reanimated re texturted altered story line and re packaged?". but hey they arent that bad. I mean poo....look at Runescape or Dungeon Runners or World of Warcraft they want you to pay 5-15 dollars for a week/month for online play...are you kidding me? were in a recession are they crazy? no one wants to pay 5 bucks for online but you look at Bethsedas brilliant games...oblivion fallout3 sure theres no online but hell they made a game so fun that you dont mind that there is no online. makeing them online COULD only make them even better.

 

I wouldnt mind paying for another expansion I think it would be worth it. why not update your game? i mean thats ridiculous I mean if you were buying it just for the fixed ending well that would be just dumb. its not like there makeing us pay weekly/monthly for anything I mean forget it I would never do that. as far as things financial go for companies I like how they try best to suit everyones needs like Bioware. Neverwinter Nights online play is....FREE! tottally free no strings attached! 10000% free games aren't expensive either and they are good games. Im glad bethseda is working on the new expansion and an update I think they need to expand on the game slightly I mean I love it cant get enough of it hahaha I recently got the witcher as well and I havent even touched that game since I got fallout since fallout is so good. well theres my 2 cents im off to bed!

 

 

 

(off topic but does anyone know if the witcher is any good? I looked at it and already dont like the idea that I cant make my own character. so any input would be good to know before I get mad that I wasted cash)

The Witcher is more of an "interactive movie" in that you go where the directer tells you to go, but there are lots of choices and they have definite consequences (there is a lot more variation in the endings than in the FO3 main quest). I found it a lot of fun the first time through, but it doesn't have a lot of replayability.

 

The main quest in FO3 doesn't have a lot of replayability either, but you can ignore it and the game is still fine. That isn't possible in The Witcher.

yes the ending was filth

 

the slide show could have been better

 

but it was done

 

i dont think we should let the past effect whether we will get the dlc or not

 

to me the dlc looks fine so ill definatly get it

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

Personally, I could care less. :P

 

 

Well I'm glad that you care.

 

I'm happy that they've decided to fix the ending, but I'm still miffed that it had to be fixed in the first place.

It's been said before, but is there really a reason for them to seal the airlock in the final scene? I mean, if you or Setinel Lyons goes into the purifier control room without the door closing, it should only take like a second to type in a three-digit number, giving them plenty of remaining time to run out of the room before receiving critical radiation levels (Should've thought of doing that Bethesda) :rolleyes: .

 

It was really disappointing to see the game end and not even continue as well (So in response, I just downloaded a mod that allowed you to continue after the game). However, back on topic, if they weren't going to allow free-movement access to the control room and instead blockade you with a airlock, at least you should've had companions that could enter and type in the code like others have said (Fawkes, Rl-3, and Charon could enter without being damaged). But no. If you ask them, they will refuse (wusses) and tell you it's your responsibility. Okay, quick question, who is going to stay around and look after the purifier? Certainly not any of your companions, and I'd doubt Lyons would either. Who has experience in maintaining it by at least starting it up in "Waters of Life"? Certainly not Lyons or any of your companions (except maybe RL-3, but he wouldn't stick around and Dr. Li is just a plain old scientist who couldn't defend herself) :P .

 

That's why the player should not even have to die in any of the decisions. None of them give a crap if it doesn't get maintained. None of them would care if the purifier gets blown up the next day and the player's death is in vain. They're used to life without easy access to pure water. And yes, you should be able to see an ending that shows movies and vocal responses of what your character did during the game for better (or worse) and not a dumb slideshow of a town on a bridge and pictures of the wasteland. It doesn't have to be a two-hour movie, but rather maybe ten minutes with music playing and credits off to the side while you see characters responding in a motion movie to your deeds during the game and seeing more of the things you had done, rather than the one or two things in the slideshow. This movie should also include exactly what happened after you did (or didn't) activate the purifier, with or without the FEV :banana: .

 

Finally, I think the final battlescene with Liberty Prime would've been better if it fought an Enclave-controlled mega-robot, while you took out ground squads of Enclave soldiers, smaller robots, and officers.

You know what REALLY pissed me off? Before I went in I put on rad-x and an advanced rad suit, I was getting like 5 rads a second and died before I even had advanced radiation poisoning (200). I was like- "I could have walked out, noticed I had the code wrong, gone back to fix it, run around a few times, watch it start up, wave hi to fawks, then click enter and leave before I hit 800."
