Your DVD Rom might be failing. I realized that after two other games had issues installing and then F3 GOTY did, I knew I had a rom issue.

EDIT: Frak me, didnt realize how old this post was. Eek. Sorry.

That's still a rip off. Twenty bucks for 10 shitty little quests that you can finish in two or three hours. If I only spent 2 bucks on each, I could care less if they only take an hour or two to complete. If I spend 20 bucks on 10 missions, and I only enjoy 10 of 'em, I've 'wasted' 10 clams. Big. W...

Surely, because in Oblivion, I find it diffcult to feel any kind of attachment towards my charcter, considering he's a GREEN FUCKING ELF MAN WITH WINGS AND SHIT LOL!!!!!!111

How could you be attached to Marcus, since he's just Super Mutant Sprite #4? Or Dogmeat, since he's Dog Sprite #1?

Weird, when you can finish it in fifteen minutes or less, like most quests in Oblivion. Well, you can then get buffs every month, so it's not as if it's a one-shot thing. There's worse things I can do with two bucks. What about the Horse Armor? Didn't care for it, didn't get it. I plan on getting t...

The Orrey is worth quite a bit more than they are selling it for.

How come it's called a roleplaying game then? Because many of the early games of this nature were based on PnP games in which players actually played roles . It's no different than calling Civ4 a "4X" game, when only 2 of the 4 Xes are true. You assume a role of your own, thus you're role...

There's no such trait as Talented, but there's a Gifted one Okay, so I got the name wrong, big deal. I knew Skilled was the one I avoided because of it's gameplay-based weakness. A roleplaying game can be played without roleplaying? Yup. A roleplaying game can be played without concerning yourself ...

As per previous notion, drop by the General Gaming forum. There's a bucket of crap waiting for you to wade through it. I was only asking in order to facilitate a dialogue concerning "What's likely for Bethsoft to do". But I will check it out if I feel like it. playing the role of Bill For...

:shrug: It's just another way to play a computer game. Sometimes you play it as if you're the character, sometimes you play it as if you're the guy controlling the character. No game can prevent the player from doing either.

Fallout is a pure RPG. Could you explain how? Elaborate and specify how Fallout is a pure RPG? What the FUCK are you talking about? Easy. Know how you want to play the game, and build your character in such a way that makes it effective. Respond to NPCs in the way that gets you the item/plot/quest ...

neither does doom, if you have the needed imagination. But that doesn't make it a roleplaying game. True, Doom isn't a roleplaying game, but when it comes to computer games, you can't force a player to roleplay. Besides, why would you want to? You claimed that Bethsoft doesn't make "Pure RPGs&...

None of the Elder Scrolls games prohibited you from roleplaying. Neither did they prohibit you from not playing it that way.

I have no doubt you can roleplay to your heart's content in FO3. Likeways, I have no doubt you can gameplay it as much as you want.
