Main Story Plot of FO3

Post by frenzyslave » Thu Aug 08, 2013 1:26 am

I came across this funny read about how ridiculous the main story questline was of FO3, and thought I would share it with you guys.

It is quite funny. It however contains major spoilers of the FO3 main questline.


Lets hope Bethesda learns from this when they release FO4 eventually, lol ;)

That sounds to me like a rant by someone who never reads or explores. Basically everything he bitches about is explained.


Not even well written.


3/10

I'm feeling generous...

I love gamefaqs for its guides. Judging from what I've seen of its user boards, I am glad to have steered clear of them.


Look but don't touch, really.


OT: While I will grant the premise that FO3's story was.....bland, I think that the poster did not take the time to read any of the non-essential information littered around the quest areas so thick I trip over it daily. Seems to be yet another mouth-breather needing everything spoon fed to them.


As for the assertion further down the page of a likeness to Zero Punctuation, I lol'd.

1) More people than just the overseer know that your dad is from outside the vault. Like when Old Lady Palmer mentions "it seems just like yesterday that you father arrived" and immediately cuts herself off mid-sentence. 


 


2)The author clearly knows nothing abut ecology or biology. Irradiated water is basically the worst thing that can happen to an environment, and causes serious problems for the human body if ingested. In fact, I would say that if the environment was not damaged, there would be no raiders, slavers, etc. because people could farm, hunt, and fish for food.


 


3)The inhabitants of tranquility lane were NOT happy. They were being repeatedly tortured, killed, and resurrected for over 200 years. And one of them was fully aware of that fact. So yeah, not just brainwahsed. Maybe the author should actually read the terminal entries next time?


 


 


4)This is propably the most valid point on the list, but that is not saying much. Honestly, by this point in the story, the player has most likely already killed many enemies, including a super mutant behemoth. 


 


5)It is really stupid to expect them to tell you their secret plan. Nobody in the real world would be dumb enough to do that, as there is a chance that you will escape. 


 


6)So, you're telling me that when a secret society captures you and holds you at gunpoint, you take them for their word? It is obvious (to most people) that they are up to something and are not just here to turn on the purifier. Lol.


 


7)I don't se what is confusing here. That he would sacrifice himself? People do that all the time, it is called heroism. Or do you still not understand that the enclave are the bad guys?


 


8)If you actually pay attention to the game lore, you would know that the brotherhood operated out of the pentagon. The tunnels are likely put there for people to be able to quickly escape if it is attacked.


 


9)There is only one GECK in the capital wasteland, and it happens to be in the most dangerous place in the game (world?). If you really think that Madison Lee and her cronies can breach a vault that even the BoS could not...


 


10)The enclave did not need you to get the GECK, though they would have needed Fawkes. The reason they wanted you was because they had a plan that they needed a pure-strain human for, and they think you were born in a vault.


 


11)Autumn rebelled because he disagreed with the extreme methods that Eden was planning to use. The Enclave are human like everyone else, and they have their own ideals, and Autumn did nto want think it was alright to kill everything on the planet.


 


 


12)"How is the evil?" You do realize that they want to kill more than just humans, they want to kill everything that has been exposed to the virus? As in, the entire planet? Besides, low level FEV exposure is actually harmless, which you would know if you had played the first two games, instead of starting with the third and trying to make since of the story.


 


13)Eden kills himself because he has just ben overthrown and has no way to take back control of the Enclave, and wants to destroy the facilities at Raven Rock so they don't fall into enemy (Autumn's) hands.


 


14)They want to stop the Enclave, they do not know that Autumn does not intend to use the FEV. But even if they did know that, the enclave is still a fascist organization that thinks that it is genetically superior to everyone else.


 


15)Autumn actually is afraid that you are going to use it to do what Eden wanted. Considering that you seemed to think it was a good plan, I think Autumn was right to try and blow the thing up. Also, stop calling him liquid Snake, that is just stupid.


 


16)This is the dumbest thing the author said yet. If he actually paid attention at all, he would know that radiation resistance is nowhere close to perfect, and the many places will still kill you, such as vault 87. 


 


17)Two words. Broken. Steel. (Also, not everyone has Fawkes as a companion when they visit the purifier)


 


Basically, this review only makes since if a person plays without any DLC,  does not play the first two games, does not pay attention to the dialog, and does not read the many notes found throughout the game. If I were reviewing this review, the only thing I would say is "...wait..... what?"

"Who are you, who do not know your history?"
