Who says Bethesda cant make a good story?

Well I dont know about their other games but I thought Fallout 3's main story was pretty good.

(Much better than New Vegas's story At least from all that I've heard about it)

I think the general consensus is that New Vegas' story ****s all over Fallout 3's one.

Meh, everything bethesda does plot wise feals meaningless after playing the witcher 2.dracolich55

I do. Fallout 3's started great, but went downhill imo. New Vegas had a better story, Yes Man being the best part of it (he's HILARIOUS!). I think we can both agree Up Your Arsenal and Going Commando had better stories than any Bethesda game. I need a Ratchet and Clank sig.

I've no problems with Bethesda's stories, they're not so serious they overwhelm the player with a sense of duty but still have enough gravity to carry weight. Besides, Bethesda games are about the all-around experience which goes far beyond characters and plot.

Bethesda's biggest problem is their own game design, with such massive games you very easily loose track of the main story thus loosing impact.R3FURBISHED

Fallout 3's story kicked ass.

It must be good if it was based off of a novel...

Fallout 3's story isn't the absolute crap a lot of people make it out to be, but it's nowhere near good.

Well they sure aren't amazing.

I thought the main story from Fallout 3 was completely retarded... It had such a stupid moral to the end.

No, New Vegas's story is much much better than Fallout 3's by virtue of not being f*cking stupid.

I wouldn't know who else thinks that, but I certainly haven't been impressed with any of their stories. Well, I liked how Morrowind's main story didn't even pretend to be important until fairly late into it, so I kind of liked that one.

No one says it, Bethesda proves it.

The story for the main quests in Bethesda games arent anything special.

They do however,write great lore and backstory for the races/world/cultures in Elder Scrolls games most notably:Morrowind

I agree with you TC, i liked Fallout 3 story better then new vegas story

Bethesda's writters are their weakest point. Their stories, dialogs and quest design are mediocre at best.

They have never made a good story, that's not their main point, they make open ended worlds with a good lore to them, and release them to modders to fix their games and add aditional content.

And no, Fallout 3 has a sh*t stain of a story that is also written pretty badly, compared to New Vegas at least, which is a vastly better game all around.

The stories themselves suck, especially Fallout 3's. HOWEVER the books found in the various elder scrolls games are not bad at all, at least for (the admitedly low) video game standards.

lol, why did you even have to throw in the word "that"?

There is nothing spectactualr about TW2's story at all. People hate on FF12 becuse of it'sstroy be even it is deeper and more complex.

On topic, I really liked Morrowind.
