[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5655223, member: 40177"] True story: When fallout 3 came out, I was in love with the game for a good three weeks, where I did nothing but explore the capital wasteland. I mostly ignored the plot, and just.... explored. My favourite part in that game was not when I found the crashed alien spaceship that gave me a very powerful little pistol. Or trying to sneak past a bunch of huge monsters to get into a crashed nuka cola truck. Or of finding powerful nuclear weapons in an old bunker. Or even sniping super mutants in an old abandoned vault and looting out my heart. My favourite moment in Fallout 3 was when I was wandering around, and picked up a radio signal that looped. It was a father, asking for help. His son, you see, was very hurt, and they were hiding in an old sewer service shed. "Please help," his message plead, "My son is very sick, and we are running low on food..." before it repeated once again. I spent about half an hour, in real time, trying to find this bunker. And when I found it... I found two skeletons, long dead, lying wrapped in each others' arms, on an old bed. There was nothing really useful to scavenge, except for a few rounds of ammo. That moment was very poignant for me, as a player. It reminded me that, in this fictional world, nuclear armageddon had happened, and that my character was a descandent of the lucky ones who survived. That I was wandering the remnants of a doomed society, and that "war? war never changes" TLDR? Post Apoc is all about setting, and not about mechanics/stuff. :) [/QUOTE]
