I was too busy enjoying the setting to worry about how long ago the bombs were dropped.

Pretty much … there is plenty of stuff to pick apart, but honestly I just had fun. I don't disagree with anything Shamus says about FO3, and some of it was eye-rollingly annoying (especially in the context of the high praise across the board in reviews), but none of it mattered for me enjoying the game.

One of the most idiotic and foreign aspects to Fallout 3 for me was the overly cavalier and vacuous attitude it had towards nuclear weapons (Think "Fat Man"…) In addition to the god-awful writing, ("Steel Be With You!) this was so much in contrast to the darkly ironic yet somber tone established by the original Fallout and gave the whole experience a very juvenile sour taste to me.

Much of my annoyance and angst was projected into the style of character I chose to play as a consequence (An avenging angel type…)
As a post-apocalyptic fan, I still naturally liked aspects of the setting and atmosphere. The exploration is also quite compelling - yet I'd be disingenuous if I didn't acknowledge the shortcomings that frustrated me at the time. Simply put, Fallout and the folks at Interplay set a high bar indeed.
