Fallout 3 is great and anyone that says otherwise is a retard
Like look at my screenshot here, I have two human followers Jericho and Sydney and we're going on that quest to rescue Rileys Rangers. The whole thing was fun as fuck and organic too as you pick up the ranger distress signal on the steps on the national archive where Sydney is battling super mutants on behalf of Abraham Washington to get the Declaration of Independence for his museum. Simply going on this quest for Abraham Washington started a whole chain of events that led to me essentially starting my own mercenary company and keeping Sydney with me and Jericho through the Enclave attack on Project Purity and the return to Vault 101.

My point is that people that say Fallout 3 is a bad RPG are just uncreative
