It's not for lack of trying, either! I dropped a good 45 hours into FO3 between 3 different characters. After raiding that grocery store for the survival guide in Megaton, I lose interest. I can't venture out too far, never really figured out how to get VATS to play nice, and I would get murdered by different roaming bands of raiders. That or super mutants. Couldn't level up enough to be able to afford anything.
Like I said, not for lack of trying.
Maybe it's about the fact that those games aren't for everyone o: Maybe you like games with more concise objectives or storylines that don't involve such free roaming or exploration, IDK. For me I just get lost into this sea of exploration with so much to do. I absolutely love it!
I can't seem to get into fallout tho, lmao.
