After a while, everything became really dull and boring, the colours were all faded and everything was really horrible, did it have the same effect on anyone else?

I take solace in the chance that nuclear warfare will either destroy me, or I'll die before it happens. Fallout 3 is awesome though......

Nope, if anything, the game does a really good job of making me forget the stresses of reality for an hour or two or three.

Even tho the game has some pretty depressing(if not ****ed up) things happen to people throughout the capital wasteland, I still find the game to be humorous.

from sending a guy flying 50 ft into the air without his legs, to what mayor macready in little lamplight caverns says to you after letting you into the town.

Not at all, its just a game after all. It has no more of an effect on me than any movie or tv show.

Fallout 3 was really depressing.. having to save every 5 minutes because you'd never know when it would freeze on you.. even after the freezing and trophy patch its still frozen 3 times in only 4 hours of gameplay..

I feel that it actually got the point "you have to scrap and scrape to survive" across really well. Very few resources around when starting out makes you think and act wisely. I was conserving every bullet I could. It was a great challenge and it's a great outlook and awareness of "what would happen if.." with nuclear war.

Besides, it's supposed to be grim. A nuclear war happened 200 years ago. Especially (goes without saying) the location of what would be the biggest target on the globe for ANY country. Washington DC. You can't expect rainbows and daisys floating around like a Disney movie. They make you decide whether you bring hope or destroy them all.

it does get boring after a while, but that did not really depress me. what's depressed me is that i'll have to start the campaign all over again thanks to the buggy-ness of the game that doesn't allow me to progress through the story anymore. i like the game a lot, but the bugs are depressing enough to make me stop playing this game for weeks already.
