Forum Overview :: Dwarf Fortress :: I go back and forth between almost liking FO3 and absolutely despising it.

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]PRO: There's a "Science" skill and an "Unarmed" skill. You can literally play a two-fisted 1950s scientist who has adventures in post-apocalyptic America. How cool is that? CON: Most of those adventures entail playing a terrible word-guessing minigame to open a locked box containing three bottles of water and a stimpak. Then doing it four hundred more times over the next forty hours in completely interchangeable pitch-black techno-dungeons. They don't even give you a proper flashlight, you have to get by on the dull green glow from your PDA. When a game makes you wish you were playing Doom 3 you know something is wrong. Here's an idea for the genius game designers and ladder experts at Bethesda: just once, let me use my Science skill to turn on a backup generator so I can see where the fuck I'm going. Maybe put the guy whose job it was to go into every room and hide all the health and ammo on that one? He seems pretty motivated.[/quote]
