Post What's on Your Mind

I played up to the part when you leave the vault in Fallout 3, I saw the vast expansive world, the sun poured through the clouds and my eyes adjusted to the intense light.

At that moment I knew that this was not the game for me. I stopped playing and never reinstalled it.

Oh, dude. Why is that? I'm not trying to convince you or anything but I am genuinely curious. Most people seem to have been really immersed by that scene.

Imho new Vegas was a better game overall (especially Honest Hearts and Old World Blues), but I can't deny being sucked into FO3.

I had a massive wave of boredom come over me at that very point. I had been playing up until then expecting things to kick off and awesome shit to go down and then suddenly it was nothing and my brain started falling asleep.

Skyrim I coped with much better because that game leads you straight into town and then your questing begins, so I was lead directly into game-play that grew and kept me going until I had a good grasp of the game.

Fallout 3 felt like the train stopped, then all passengers were told to disembark and walk to their next destination and none of them were given a map or a direction to go.

EDIT: To note, I'm saying this as someone who likes game-play over story. I don't want a hand-held roller-coaster story experience, I just want to be led smoothly into the game-play and trained how to play the game rather than given the basics then dumped outside.

Haha whoops looks like I have fatty liver/elevated liver enzymes
That basically means you've been drinking.

I am aware of this

Also probably the bombardment of various anti-inflammatory drugs over the years has likely contributed

This fully describes my experience and I stopped playing at the EXACT same point.
 
I don't even know what time I'm in tonight, let alone whether I've got the promotion starting Saturday.

They'll probably call me Friday night. Or Saturday morning.

I don't even know what town I'll be working in on Saturday.
