Fallout 3 GOTY - I Finally Did It!!!!

Agreed.

No it wasn't :)

main story is so crappy i still cant believe that i finished it :P

I don't understand how people think Fallout 3 had better locations. I remember a great number of varied locations from New Vegas, and when I think of Fallout 3, the only thing that strikes me as memorable are those damned awful subway tunnels and the Tranquility Lane simulation. O_o

I loved Brotherhood of Steel on consoles. It was my first Fallout game. Then again, I'm biased towards it because I also love the rest of the games made with that game engine. Own 7 of the 8, with only the Paratroopers game missing, since it wasn't released here.

there are mods for this since the ages

Wait, what? You mean that's a thing?

Even in Hardcore mode that never happened to me.

If you have the DLCs in New Vegas, sure. Maybe worth making a melee character. Fallout 3? Not so much. FONV's biggest problem is the fact that everybody uses guns of some sort. Unless you get a mod that adds good melee weapons ( E.g. Classic fallout weapons for the super sledge and other melee weapons ), you're better off going guns or energy, then putting into melee bit-by-bit. Even the Ripper got nerfed, and that was a pretty good weapon.

I also thought the stealth system was faulty. I had a high stealth once, got detected most of the time. Might have just been the armour I was wearing, or lighting, but stealth never worked for me.

Well, yeah, those achievements are pretty hard, I guess. I never really attempted them, to be honest.

Well, sure, because it's just more fun to gun someone down from far away.

And only a few of the melee weapons, not including DLC, are actually good. It's just not very good to attempt early on, since early on you can even get the cowboy repeater, or an assault rifle and take down anyone you'll meet ( including legion. Yes, legion. The vanilla legion soldiers aren't even that good ).

I'd attempt a melee character if it was at least worth it. At least half the game would be me getting gunned down before I even reached the enemy, or in enclosed areas taking at least a little bit of damage and having to constantly heal.

That being said, I actually did my first hardcore playthrough on a melee character, so I probably shouldn't say that I absolutely hate it.

I think OP might have played it on Playstation since he said trophies.
