I'll go with Trip Hawkins' Electronic Arts (1982-1991). I know, I know: They were publishers mostly, but man, they cherry-picked some amazing games to publish back then and gave studios like Interplay and Bullfrog some of their best titles. Seven Cities of Gold, Archon, Bard's Tale...

I'm glad that OP mentioned the witcher here, not because it was a sandbox game-- it was not, at all-- but because it actually had a great deal of mature themes and moral ambiguity. By mature themes, I don't mean the vulgarity, that was rather childish, although I did enjoy the frequent...

lol: This guy made my day.

Here are the worst offenders IMO: -The ending, which I won't spoiler, but which is just retarded in the enormous plot hole it has. Destiny?!?! *&^% you mutie, get in there! -Twopenny towers: Ok, I picked the wrong horse, obviously, but why the karma hit for payback? -Gob in Megaton: Is he a...

I love shooting the grenades, but I hate damaging the weaps. Headshots, always.

You can grab some quest related people while you already have one follower: Having Charon I talked to Cross when I first got to BOS, because I had +karma she offers to join me in a dialogue that is scripted i think for her to always join. So then I had both her and charon at the same time...

I'm going to go with "The Dunwich Building" for my example of incredible Bethesda laziness. (spoilers follow, but not really, since there's nothing to spoil!) Beth teases you with a an entire building, ground-up dedicated to HP Lovecrafts' classic horror tale "The Dunwich Horror". It is...

Get stoned before you play: Maybe your resulting stupefied musings/hallucinations can fill in the gaps in plot and story. Or maybe it will just deaden the pain.

Major centerpiece in Virtual Light/Idoru/All Tomorrow's Parties was the golden gate bridge, half wrecked and covered in sheds/single-person dwellings. The series was even called the "Bridge series". It would have been awesome in FO3, especially if it was built up with a ton of tiny cramped...

Ah dammit, I had both Cross and Charon, probably a glitch (you recruit her in quest dialogue, so maybe it's intentional) I had to trade them both for Fawkes. I guess it doesn't matter, since the game ends 5 minutes later, horribly imo, but it still bothered me since Cross had my alien blaster...

Dammit... everyone at Bethesda gets the Dream Crusher perk, as far as I'm concerned. Even mail room guy.

Hey thanks, glad to know i dont have to redo 2 hours. I can't wait for their explanations as to how they either evaded capture or failed to die defending me.

I think it's a rant in service to this argument: Which is true, I headshot everything from enclaves to super masters in 1-2 shots, and I too miss the utility of different weapons, as well as the larger variety we used to have.

As opposed to seven-tenths of the quests in this game being senseless kill/fetch quests (stat from ass, but I bet it's as accurate as your "half")? It's a matter of degree, really, and FOO has fewer NPCs, fewer quests, fewer choices. Sure, it's possible to "do more with less", but the typical...

Yeah I had issues with it too. I got why people would be living there: Great scavenging opportunities close to downtown DC. I just didn't understand what anyone was doing for food or water, the former depends on the latter and the latter was all irradiated. I mean, if I drank that water daily...
