i found that towards the end the character i made became so overpowered that nothing really posed any threat anymore and THAT is when i started to lose interest. but no, it wasnt boring
I had only been playing the game for a couple hours and I decided it would be a fun idea to kill everyone in Megaton. So I did, and I went to the GNR station and suddenly I was interested in the campaign and the game became a lot of fun. I love playing it, even when it crashes several times in a day.
Oh no, I was referring to the OP. He wrote FallOut, as if it was two words combined. I didn't even read the whole thread.

im a programmer allCombinedWords have captials :p force of habit blah blah blah Didnt get out of the vault..wow! Thats dedication! I think the missions got boring because theyre all the same and I recently completed all Oblivion with all the game packs which is basically the same.
Fallout 3 is a farcry from what Fallout was. The humor, approach, grit, and wit are all warped and distorted to the point of this becoming just another RPG with Fallout-esque cameos.
The problem lies in the moment-to-moment, being terribly boring as Bethesda focuses on big picture storytelling. The result becoming good memories overall but a terrible 2 hour play session.
To the OP. Yes, I did not make it out of the vault. That was how bored I was.
And no, that is not sarcasm.
wow, that's pretty sad on a few levels. 1. Why wouldn't you look into the game more before buying it? 2. Why wouldn't you finish the tutorial and actually play for a an hour or two? well, they still got your money =p

I agree and had a similar experience during my first run through of Oblivion. If you are playing without mods in either game, eventually your character becomes so powerful that you just walk through the game destroying everything without effort. That's why you have to be a little imaginative. I'm playing both games with tons of mods now...without clothing...and I'm trying to use mostly my bare hands and blunt objects as weapons. It makes for a much more interesting game...and more difficult. That's the beauty of these games...you can play them almost any way you want to, and every play through has the potential to be unique.

It was very boring for me - there might have only been a few minutes of entertainment for every few hours of walking around the dull gameworld. The only thing that kept me playing was the main quest, which turned out to be a total waste of time.
I've tried getting back into it since then, but it simply doesn't have the replayability or variety of choices that Fallouts 1 and 2 had.
It's definitely a bit dry. Given that the world must be boring to look at due to basically the end of civilization, the story/characters need to pick up the slack and Bethesda really can't write good characters/stories. Morrowind had a decent story, but characters is where Bethesda can almost never deliver. Also, I was a bit bummed yesterday when I skipped ahead in the story by a fair number of quests totally by accident. I just showed up at a certain place and all of a sudden, it switches to "where's my father" again even though I had no reason to think he might be there. It's just kind of annoying since this is my first real playthrough and I was kind of hoping to see the entire story step-by-step. Now I'm forced to run back to where I should've went to see those parts of the story, even though I've already hit a milestone in the main quest.
I think the game is fun. My only real problem with it is that I can hardly ever find any quests outside of the main quest. Shouldn't people at least have exclamation points over their heads or some other type of indicator that would suggest a potential quest like in WoW?
It is boring like hell ,i want my money back says the mass effect guy..... lol I like mass effect man ,Its better than grey gloomy and boring fallout 3 (at least in my opinion)
I played it for about 2-3 weeks and I agree with the OP 100%. It was fun at first but then became (for me) painful repetition and boring to the point of uninstall.

like oblivion you need to follow a game wiki to get the best out of it. I said in my review of the game that I was doing the main mission and suddenly realised I was on the penultimate mission and had barely done any side quests which make up the main content of the game.
well i bought it day 1 and played it. i got up to rivet city ,mainly following the main quest, and stopped playing. then a few weeks back i restarted literally pretending to be an explorer in an apocalypse. having a lot of fun with it. i have a couple of companions and we're like a little "don't **** with us" kinda party. also i like the choices of good and bad you get. like generally i'm a bad ass in the world (even got a bounty)..but then i discovered paradise falls and i didn't like the slavers. so i recused the kids then turned around went back inside and killed every last slaver. the only thing i don't want to come across is a deathclaw.
I played it for a couple of weeks mostly doing side quests and exploration but every now and then I'd go back to the main story. I got bored and gave up. Too many guns, too much ammo, too easy to kill everything in site even when you're out numbered. It stopped being challenging. I might've liked it more if I hadn't enjoyed the original games so much.

says the mass effect guy..... lol I like mass effect man ,Its better than grey gloomy and boring fallout 3 (at least in my opinion) yeah but mass effect is just flash, neither the combat or the levels are nothing more than they look, but in fallout 3 they are both massive, besides mass effect is more or less the same thing til you complete it, and nothing really amazing happens, and the combat isnt fun at all, its neither action good, or rpg good neither they use skilsl liek stealth or lockpicng and repair, mass effect its too damn simple and i dare to say an empty exprience compared to fallout 3
