Turn auto save off and save it youself and you probably shot one of them.. Not really that hard to understand.

It's not a bad game. It isn't anywhere near as great as people make it out to be and it certainly doesn't live up to Fallout or Fallout 2 in any area but it isn't bad. Bethesda has a lot of glitches in Fallout 3 and Oblivion, in your case I always turn off auto saves anyway though.

the talking's neat

Neat? Poor. Bad voice acting for the most part, dialogue, no memorable characters, and mostly uninteresting choices.

Probably, Oblvion and Fallout 3 are pretty buggy. They also have a few game breaking bugs, in Oblivion at least that force you to start over. I don't know why anyone would doubt you.

In Fallout 3 I once was getting shot as soon as I entered a town for no reason. Another time a guy I was supposed to talk to wasn't where he should have been, I somehow stumbled on his body out in the wasteland on the other side of the map.

Well Bethesda's games are glitchy just avoid them from now on. I couldn't play Fallout 3 for months because I encountered a game breaking glitch. Whenever I buy their games I am prepared to encounter problems.

It's funny that people worry about the new Fallout being good because Obsidian games have bugs. From my experience not anywhere near as bad as Bethesda games, and Obsidian is also good at certain areas of game development.

I actually have more faith in Obsidian because Bethesda completely ****ed up Oblivion in more ways than one and I highly doubt they can match Bethesda's amazing ability to create games full of bugs.

Bethesda is a great developer but I must admit they have a lot of glitchy games, but you should always remember to save frequently in Fallout 3, always save before talking to someone, cracking a safe/door, doing a quest, and any other part in between, save religiously.

I did that but at the time I only had two saves and both of them were messed up. I could play the game without any problems until I tried to leave the room I was in but the game would never load. Luckily after the first dlc came out it was fixed and I could finally play again.

Fallout 3 is a masterpiece. A game this big with so many things occurring at the same time and so much stuff to do, is impossible to be without bugs. A very few companies dare to present such an experience so Bethesda did an incredible job.

It is a buggy game, but nevertheless it is well worth it. It is not like the game is short and small in size and things to do and it is buggy at the same time.

Its funny because OP's profile picture is of Master Chief, and his post is what Master Chief from Arby n' the Chief would say.

Back in 2008 the game was EASILY a 9 out of 10 it is not over rated at all. It has 5 DLC packages that are actually better then the original story. I played through this game 3 times and never once had a single issue with the game at all. Maybe you are just bad?

What the **** are you talking about? People are bad because they encountered a glitch? You do know that it is a fact that the game has glitches right? Wow now this has to be the worst thing I have ever read on Gamespot. Just because you didn't encounter a glitch doesn't mean glitches don't exist use Google and find all of the people that are "bad" at the game.

Fable 2 is like that but its far far better reaching the best game of all time (My Opinion) with only gears of war 2 and mass effect 2 coming close to it maybe its just the kind of person you are.

It sounds more like you are frustrated because you can't figure the game out, obviously you haven't even played enough of it to even judge the game.

Yeah it's full of bugs and glitches, but it's still my 2nd favorite title on the 360. I loved it. The whole atmosphere of the game was brilliant to me.

I think Fallout 3 deserves the praise it gets.

It's got its fair share of bugs and glitches, but I've completed it twice without experiencing any major game distrupting issues.

Way to quote part of what i said, tool. It wasn't a glitch the game doesn't have glitches in either version people who encounter said glitches are making excuses because of how bad they actually are at the game. There is nothing wrong with the game AT ALL. And it is not OVER RATED... but people wouldn't know what i said right because you like to quote 5 words out of a whole post...

Nothing else you said had anything to do with the quoted part of your post. The game is full of bugs what does him being good or bad at the game have to do with anything?

No, not Halo hate. I just get irritated when people criticize games like Fallout and Mass Effect just for, you know, being an rpg.

Fallout 3 is a good game but there are some problems.

The story is not the good. There is a lot to do but it was not the rich and fun. I do not add any extra to the story.

Also I had a error that all my saved games froze when I try to go to the Jefferson memorial. I had to start a new character.

The combat is not as good as FFXIII.

I put upwards of 80 hours into fallout 3 and encountered maybe all of 3 glitches, guess I got lucky? Personally I thought the game was awesome, with an interesting story, abundance of quests, and cool character progression. To each his own it seems.

Okay since I think most RPG's released lately have had poor controllability, art style, and voice acting not to mention believable story, I don't like RPG's. Hmm. There's only one problem with that. I like RPG's. I just don't like the crap they've been dishing out.

Go insert Oblivion and jump up and down in third person view and tell me it's gratifying. The graphics suck. The art is so smudged I can't tell what some things are supposed to be. The zoom in on the faces just show how old the technology was when it was released. The "Oblivion Gate" quests get freakin' annoying...

Then try out Fallout 3. THE RPG of this generation. Crap graphics. Crap animation. Crap design. Go snort the chizzled off remains of my disc and drink it down with suck. Oh yes, RPG's are great this generation.

I'm looking forward to a FUN RPG, is that against the rules Mr. Dungeon Master?

EXACTLY! See im not the only person who thinks the OP cant play a game or is bad at the game. There is NOTHING WRONG WITH IT... people are silly....

I thought Fallout 3 was a great game although somewhat glitchy. I still liked the game but does me encountering glitches mean I am bad at the game? So you are telling me that encountering a glitch in a game makes you bad at it? I would like a real response to what you said because I just want to know how your logic works. Fallout 3 does have glitches in it whether or not you want to admit it.
