Well I completed the game and here is my view on the main story.

It sucked ass!

Design Flaws:

Ok firstly I would like to say great game. I barley scratched the surface seen as I played the mains story all the way through and did non of the side quests. I plan on playing through it again and exploring all the content and just saying "hey dad you left me so you can go $^%# yourself".

However, The way bethesda make games is some what flawed. They give you this open world and then push you into a main storyline where you are like where the hell did dad go i must find out .. and off you go on the long and anti climatic main storyline. For example when you are on your way to vault 87 to find the G.E.C.K some kid is like can you take me to big town. "umm... no im kinda busy trying to save the world jack ass"
Why would I help him!! Im in the middle of an important quest and im asked to back track half way across the map for no payoff. WHY!!

I had this same problem with oblivion. Anyways that is a major flaw in the game and if you go into it saying screw you dad and never going down the main storyline im sure you will be better off for it.

Plot Holes:

Im not going to cover the whole plot line here because it would hurt me to much to do that. But for those of you who have finished it these are some major plot holes I found.

G.E.C.K: Why in the hell would you use a teraforming device designed to remake the world to fix a water purifier??? Answer me that bethesda! Not only that but in the end of the game you dont even have the device and there is no way anyone could have installed it anyways seen as the plant was full of radiation thanks to good old dad. This is one of the most retarded flaws I have seen in an story in my life.

Fawkes: Why could he not have gone into the chamber? The whole time Lyons was telling me one of us had to go in to the chamber I was like "aghh I see what is going on fawkes will go in because he is radiation resistant and then we will all live, clean water bla bla bla the end." But no! when you ask him to do it he says "bla bla bla your destiny bla bla bla I wouldnt want to stand in the way your great moment bla bla bla".
Not only would this have made complete sense in terms of the plot line but we would have all lived and I could have go back into the world to help the people.. or hinder.

My Demise: So we get to the water place and im like cool we are probably headed towards a climatic ending in the next 3-4 hrs of game play ... so we walk in side kill the boss (with one shot to the head) and then Lyons is like "well that is all taken care of good job lets secure the area". In my head im thinking sweet we fix the water purifier and then continue on with another plot twist. But no we walk up the stairs and she is like "Time out sorry we have reached the end of the game, one of us has to die and even if that person is me you still don't get to keep playing." I was just confused I waled into the chamber thinking ok there has to be some kind of twist like I wake up in hospital or something. But no game over and here is a crappy video made with some screen shots and a sepia/old film grain effect.

I was so disapointed with the storyline and there were so many questions left unanswerd. For example if you read all the vault tech stuff you will see that there was somekind of evil experiment taking place in the vaults but no we wont bother going into that... no that would be interesting.

Anyways I would like other peoples say on this so feel free to rant and rave.
