You'd understand why it's for the better if you finish Fallout 1 or 2.
You should try 'em, great games.

Let me enlighten you on why it's more of a good thing or neutral thing to most of us. The reason is, IIRC they are bringing back the slides of your quests accomplishments, and it would really feel meaningless to hear all these wonderful things that happen in decades after the game, and never see it go into fruition in game. Dig?

I dunno, I live in sweden so I use a nordic online site to purchase games.
I'm guessing you could find it on amazon or something.
But I wouldn't expect to find it in stores anymore though.


Here is why:

People complained that the ending wasn't very good.

FNV is most likely going to have the older games' ending sliders which really took almost every thing you did into context.

Amazon.com, various online retailers, some stores (I've seen it at my local Wal-Mart). Just search "Fallout Trilogy."

A new game, some thing fallout 3 has wrong with it. (for the pc)

Note: I didnt make this list, I found it looking for solutions to the instability of the game.

1.) Fallout 3 Installer installs an older version on C++ Visual 2005 that appears to affect the way the vidcard driver communicates with the game.

2.) Fallout 3 Installer installs a Beta release of DOTNETFX3.0 (.NET Framework 3.0). For users of .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 or even SP2 (Service Pack of the Framework not the OS), upon restarting their system (when changes take place), their game will be quite unstable.
Users of .NET 3.5 or Vista should have even more random crashes.

3.) Fallout 3 Installer installs a non Plug’n Play DRM device manager (not driver but a manager) that doesn’t like any 3rd party codecs (ie K-Lite, WinAMP, etc) and will usually see a CTD when a Hardware codec comes online. This usually occurs when interactive audio (client controlled speech) initializes (ie baby walking to daddy).

4. Fallout 3 Installer installs SecuROM Root kit as well as 8 hidden non Plug’n play virtual drivers. Owners with more than one Optical drive or a sata drive may encounter random drive access issues. Also, Imaging software or any software that may use its own ASPI drive (ie NERO, Roxio, Daemon, ISO, etc.) will have one of the 8 virtual drivers causing the system to do a random CTD. Reason why clients using a cracked EXE don’t experience the same volume of CTD as those who bought the game. However, the SecuROM root kits are still on the system and active. Once the SecuROM is also purged from the system, 60% of the crashes disappear. Unfortunately, they must remain on the system in order to play the game as they are part of the EULA.
^
(I under stand the need for security but thats a huge %)

5.) Fallout 3 also has its own built in MP3 codec coupled to its DRM to protect MP3’s on the DVD (in game). Unfortunately, the codec was never tested fully with hardware decoders like those of an X-FI. This can be varied by the lack of a hardware audio switch in the game options.

6.) Fallout 3 has 14 memory leaks that we found. Most are small, but there are a few that are quite large. Some areas of the map, the memory counter just spins at over 100 MB/sec. Most memory leaks are around 5 to 10 MB/sec.

7.) Fallout 3 video graphics buffer needs to be adjustable in the options and an automatic cache purger installed for cards over 512 MBs as well as linked buffers from SLI and crossfire cards. I’ve seen areas where names on the screen start to disappear and all you see are “Input Text Here” instead of V.A.T.S. or range or etc. The cache doesn’t get dumped on some maps. Most games dump their cache when a map reload occurs. This can be noticed when fast reloads occurs from map changes. Most users will just see their graphics card run out of memory (CTD and stuttering).

8.) Most games were fault free with a basic XP Pro SP2 reload, and only Critical updates and latest stock drivers. Installed the game and played it error free for nearly 4 days. Upon a system restart, lots of errors showed up. This means that Fallout 3 significantly changes the operating system. Far beyond reasonable accounts as all you can do with the system in not to play MP3’s, watch movies, make a CD or DVD, or play other games.

Fallout 3 DLC all felt like ideas that weren't good enough to go in the game to begin with, tacked onto a game that ran out of ideas 3/4 of the way through. It will be very nice to see what happens with Obsidian in the pilot's seat.

This thread isn't getting any better. I'll just close this spam slide.
