Possible SPOILERS: Yes the ending is up there with the very worst I must say (IE: MOH: AA). Some people say you can do that last mission without even firing a shot. The robot looked cool. But it was way too easy and the "ending" just consisted of a summary of what you did throughout the game. It wasn't well thought out at all - much like the rest of the game..oohhh controversy!

I agree. I hated that I couldn't do the rest of the missions once I had done the main quest. Who's idea was that? The sad thing is it was such a good game that it deserved a better ending than that.

I thought the ending was fairly decent and like how it went over your actions during the game. I completed it a few different ways and it was cool to see the ending change due to this.

And the people calling FO3 a terrible game...just lol.

Fallout 3 is a great game, it's worth playing, but sadly the ending was really bad. I was expecting a big boss fight or something. It's like having a nice punch bowl & then taking a massive dump in it.

game was good but i cant say its amazing.

its not even fun to play sidequests. i just ran through the main quest and completed it in like 8 - 10 hrs...
it also just feels like oblivion with guns.

Might want to watch out for the spoiler threads there Lach if you're thinking about getting the game :P lest you don't really mind any potential surprises being ruined.

I think what you need to do is determine is how appealing do you find the genre and type of game that Fallout 3 is. For what it is (open-world FPS/RPG, more RPG tilt and less FPS combat proficiency than STALKER for reference), it's well-done and enjoyable in my estimation.

[spoiler]
I agree with alot that has been said, ending no worse than many other games, but perhaps somewhat anticlimactic after a journey of it's scale. Feeling of AMAZING awe precluded the completion of the last mission (thumbs up!), however, ultimately it was rather easy and less fulfilling than expected. Still cool though, and while some issues of course, overall it was a very good game! Had fun, which is the best and most important compliment possible.

it was definately fun, just lacking. i think it could have been done better with more time spent on making the AI respond to your actions and things of that nature.

how is it a terrible game? I throughly enjoyed it. You really need to play the game multiple times to get the most out of it and appreciate it. Granted, the ending was a dissapointment. However I personally like a definite ending to a game

yeh, should have stuck with the routine to allow gameplay after the main quest, since there is many other little quests to do and things to discover, why isnt that assumed by now in a game like this?

incredible creativity, incredible stories, incredible environment and feel of the whole thing, incredible gameplay.. FALLOUT 3
