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.
