I love the way Fallout 3 is criticized

You mean he could have said very little, without any explanation, and portrayed a baseless claim as fact? Do you need a voice over too? Fucking start reading, start typing, and stop supporting the dumbing down of criticism!

Blackhart is a shining example of what it means to be a boy lover with substance and depth. Hah!

The daily bread = 3 cigarettes

300 cigarettes = a bottle of vodka

Why not? Everyone demands "constructive criticism" or else you are classified as a troll, but the same rule does not apply for praising something.

OT: do you like the smell of shit?

Excessive praise is just as stupid. You just don't see as much of it here.

Alot of the "stupid" things from Fallout 3 were equalled in 2. A talking plant, a shaman who contacts you with telepathy, good and evil Kung Fu armies, etc.

Dialogue is of course worse than old Fallouts, better than expected though. Skill checks are nice.

I am playing on hard and I am happy that things are fucking me up good at a low level.

Fixed to make sense and
True stupidity shows itself in an unwillingness to learn from previous mistakes.

(Although I disagree on what you see as "stupid".)

Yeah, but ciggies have an intrinsic value. They only loose that if everyone gives up smoking which is hardly likely in a WW2 POW camp. They kinda 'back' themselves.

And again, here's the value of the cigarette according to Auschwitz survivor Vladek Spiegelman:

The daily bread = 3 cigarettes

300 cigarettes = a bottle of vodka
He got his wife transferred to a different block for 300 cigarettes and a bottle of vodka. The Jews also traded whatever valuables they had left with the Polish workers.

None of the stuff bothers me as excessively stupid, but picking apart Fallout 3 based on "realism" is silly if you hold up the other 2 as ideals.

I'm pretty sure you just missed my point.
