Experientially unaware
So my friend wants to play FO3 on the console, I am at a loss, should I let him go blissfully towards playing and no doubt having a good time with FO3?
Or should I try to educate him on the ways of Fallout proper (suggest him playing the previous games, which he will no doubt pirate). I think the former is a better idea as the old games seem somewhat cheesy with the 2d graphics, not the greatest first impression despite the fantastic writing.
Although, if nothing else he would get some of the back-story and pick up more on the 50's pop trivia. Like I said, I'm at a loss, any input appreciated.
( in advance to anyone that doesn't )

I would let him remain ignorant. Educating him with Fallout world history is one thing, but getting all bitter and complaining about what Bethesda did wrong or how it should have been more like originals is just kinda annoying. Let him enjoy himself. Reap the whirlwind.
I have to admit that if I were to put myself in the shoes of someone who had never even heard of Fallout before, I can imagine my mind being blown by FO3. More by the concept of the world than the gameplay or anything else.

I love the side conversations going on here...
I love fallout because of it's conceptual look/feel/value (everything)
To tell you the truth, even though the graphics werent the best. the animation with blood and guts spilling everywhere were, and are, a lot better than anything i have seen recently. I wanted to tear some one's torso in half, or just rip it apart. Spilling his innards on the ground, forcing the xpc to have to drag them before his inevitable death. *DROOL* (not at violence, just the realism of the game) I mean that was real to me, still more real than anything i have seen in modern generation of graphics. I loved the sounds of the bullets hitting the npc also. Very VEry settling, like i had acomplished something, because the sound was sooooo rewarding. It is the fallout in itself that i like. no one i think can match it in its own value. Fallout 3 IS different to me though. I like it, but it doesnt appeal to me in the full way that original fallouts did.
