Hi everyone, so like the title says will you still play fallout 3 and if so why? Personally I think Fallout 3 has some of the best known mods out there and I can say for sure that I will be returing to DC to walk the wastes of our Capital!

Probably not I hate to say it but I've played Fallout 3 so much even with the mods still kinda becomes boring to me New Vegas is also starting to be that way that's why we need a Fallout 4 announcement ASAP!

I absolutely will, yes. There's no chance in hell that I'm going to convert the 20GBs or so of mods that I've done over to Fallout 4, so FO3 will be my only means to experience those things.

Fingers crossed for the E3 coming up! I'm the opposite though I'll go to play New Vegas yet get bored with it and play Fallout 3 over again. TTW is one of the best mods ever created by man lol!

Fallout 3 was the fallout I started on, so I have a connection with it that I don't have with other games. It's safe to say I'll continue to play it for many many years.

It would be awesome though if they make a Tale of Three Wastelands sometime after Fallout 4 Comes out

Speaking of converting...what if they replace the GECK with something else? We can rebuild it. We have the technology. We can make it better than it was. Better, stronger, faster.

Unlikely, I think. They kept it for Skyrim even though they swapped from the Gamebryo engine to the Creation engine, so hopefully they'll keep it for Fallout 4.

That is what I was thinking. I would love to move between Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Fallout 4. That would be amazing! Will it work if it is on a different engine though? Wouldn't the Mod Autor have to rebuild the game up for the newer engine? In my older post if we had a new GECK and a new engine what if we could fly between the areas? For example the sky would have it's on worldspace were you would have random encounters but would load into the fallout 3 so it wouldn't be bad on performance.

It would absolutely not work. The only reason TTW exists is because FO3 and NV run on the same engine (with minor updates made for NV).

Yeah, that's what I was thinking

Fo3 No. Fnv Yes at least until mods that make 4 better then nv come out

Like @Sinister said, FO3 was my first, and you never forget your first. I've actuallly just started a new FO3 game this morning. Just meant to check out a mod...2 hours later, I was still playing.
I'm pretty sure I will play FO3, NV and FO4 FOREVERRRRRRRRrrr...

BLASPHEMY!

I'm not sure. Fallout New Vegas is my favorite game so far, so that's a maybe. Fallout 3, no.

The newest Fallout game will definitely have a better engine, new game mechanics(I hope), and more so it's kinda hard to switch back to an older Fallout game knowing that the newest one is far superior. I'm speaking in mere speculation here of course.

It's kinda what I did about Oblivion. I loved the game but I moved onto Skyrim because almost everything is better.

Fallout 3? No. Lost 90% of my interest in it the moment I took a trip down to Vegas, down to my favorite Striiiiiip *Sings*


After Fallout 4 is released I will pounce it, play MQ in 6 hours, complain the game is too short, install 7 mods and spend 5 real life days exploring ONE building.
Then I will go back to NV due to all the mods available for it.
Ultimately I think FO4 will gradually siphon my FNV interest possibly to null.

Nope. Nope nope nope. Nopeeeeeee. Going to spend my whole week playing it. If it's not boring of course.

For sure,Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games. The atmosphere it created for me was amazing. I will probably be stuck playing Fallout 4 for quite a while but no doubt i will be back scavenging the wastes of the DC area.

Yes, definitely, well only with TTW, but i still think that counts.

Reason being i don't think Fallout 4 will be that great, not as good as New Vegas, if both the Skyrim game and it's engine are any indication of the direction Beth is going how could it be?

I'd take heavily modded TTW any day, especially with what's coming in the future.

Yes I will play both Fallout 3 and New Vegas the reason why is as long as there are new and interesting mods being made I'll never grow tired of the games. We have awesome modders here and modders like someguy2000 and Belthan to keep me playing FO3 and NV.

I agree so much with this... Skyrim was disappointing IMO. So I'm no longer in the 'Bethesda can do no wrong' camp.
