Since I finished Fallout 4, I had an itch to replay Fallout 3. I remembered loving that game way back.

I still greatly enjoyed playing it. I loved the exploration and talking with NCPs. There's different ways to play out your character with the karma system. It was fun starting as an ass and then later turning into a hero. Funny how certain characters won't be pals with you depending on your karma.

Visually, the game suffers. I don't mean the PS3 graphics necessarily. It's that everything is gray. I know, I know! The world suffered through an apocalypse. The buildings are annihilated. But does EVERYTHING have to be the same color. The sky, the ground, your gun, your clothes. Everything is the same shade. There's a definite improvement in Fallout 4 with pops of color.

I still hate the downtown DC area because there's a million dead ends. Confusing when I first played and still a bit confusing now. You have to go underground to go somewhere else above ground. I just want to walk there please. Why make this difficult. Maybe it was to help break up the open world but I found it a nuisance.
