Fallout 3 rant

[Jaruff]

I've only played 3 and NV on the PS3. I have 3 for PC now but I haven't played it too much.

The games hit the shitter at the 4000-5000 kb save size. I remember having to load an older save just to play the DLC titles.

I think my main critisism of Fallout 3 is that there are certain areas where the game autosaves, and you can potentially die right away. For instance, I was in this underwater section, and entered a door where there was an autosave, and was pretty much out of air. Luckily, I figured out that you can pump youself up with stimpacks to avoid instant death, but if I didn't have enough, I would have been screwed. If you are going to have autosaves, you should not put the gamer in such situations!

Most other bugs have been largely superficial. Sometimes you see corpses flopping around through doors if there is an explosion nearby. I haven't tried the DLC areas yet, as I am still plugging away through the main game.

Better yet, complete Anchorage, put on the Chinese Stealth Suit and check yourself in the third person.

What am I supposed to be witnessing when doing this? I play almost exclusively in 3rd person and got the CSS, and the only issue I have is the PIP boy starts getting off center sometimes while stealthy. But I think that happened with stealth boys too, and if so it's back to not a DLC issue.
