For example, the dialogue in Storm of Zehir beats the living shit out of FO3's excuses for writing.Qwinn said:Were there actually no alternatives? Is it possible Fallout 3 -was- the best writing this year? Heh.

That's definitely the problem with annual awards. Someone has to win.Qwinn said:Were there actually no alternatives? Is it possible Fallout 3 -was- the best writing this year? Heh.
