I've just remembered that Fallout 3 is one of the games I'd started and never finished. Got a bit boring din't it. I got to a city on a boat and did a load of "go here, get this, come back here"-quests, if I remember rightly, which got tedious.
I definitely tried to play Fallout 3 twice, it may even have been three times.
Each time I just got bored, fairly early on.
Everyone was bumming it so hard I was sure I must be missing something hence trying it more than once, but ultimately it just wasn't for me.
It felt like an MMO except there were no other people in it, and no group content to aim for either.
Fallout in its entirety is about the theme. If you like that sort of theme then it sucks you in and makes you believe. Breakfast cereal, soft drinks, washing powder.. It's all there like a universe of its own.
I know, now I'm really exaggerating but to me Fallout 3 is the finest most detailed video game I have ever played. It's also, as crazy as it was, one of the most believable stories. Not in a "Oh this could all happen" sort of way, more of a swiss army knife sort of way. There's absolutely everything there to make it all feel perfect.
For every one else there's Skyrim and the other TES games.
Just hoping they do an absolutely killer box set, because I'm having it. I kinda feel sorry for poor old mum because her entire bed base now houses my vast collection of merchandise for the other games but hey, needs must.
