Fallout 3
Fallout 3 is the subject of a wild, nostalgic conversation on Reddit, as fans share their love for the 2007 game and debate its merits. Many users reminisce about their own experiences with the Bethesda game, citing its immersive atmosphere and memorable locations as major draws. Even more striking, though, is the fact that the conversation moves fluidly between respectful disagreement and outright silliness, as Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and the older Fallout games are all discussed.
"What is your favorite Fallout game and why?" is a question that's bound to generate a wide variety of responses, and this thread is no exception. Some users argue that Fallout: New Vegas had a better environment and storytelling, while others express a preference for Fallout 3 due to its unpredictable encounters in the wasteland and its iconic power armor.
One user shares their love for Fallout 3, saying, "I think it's because I'm from Maryland, and I so desperately wanted to explore the places I've been to in the game." This comment prompts a humorous exchange regarding the quality of New Vegas. One reply reads, "I played it. It was good. Not as good as 3, but good."
Further down, a user discusses playing as a female character and how the game's dialogue changed based on the gender they selected. This leads to a discussion on modding and the difficulty of obtaining certain weapons in a new playthrough.
Finally, one user jokingly suggests that the person who designed the high heels the protagonist wears should "get punished." Another replies, "I think that person is still working at Bethesda."
