I wouldn't go on quite your level of hatred for Fallout 3 but I'm not the biggest fan of it for most of your reasons. Bethesda didn't do a good job of handling the world, in fact alot of the things felt simply thrown in there for the sake of having them in despite the fact that they really don't belong in D.C. which would have been fine if it was a reboot but it wasn't, it was a sequel. It also had barely any connections to the previous games, the only ones being Harold's appearance and the Enclave, and as for the Enclave I felt it was pretty much settled in 2 and they didn't need to be rehashed the way they were in 3, which was an example of as I said Bethesda not being creative and just throwing in crap from he originals despite it not belonging. I also find it hard to play Fallout 3 now, when Fallout: New Vegas has a much more interesting world, much more likable characters, handles the lore of the series alot better, and also connects to 1 and 2 alot better, making it feel like the true sequel to Fallout 2. Also since the setting is much closer to Fallout 1 and 2's setting it makes sense for the things from Fallout 1 and 2 to make a reappearance. I was unbelievably pleased when I found Marcus at Jacobstown, so excited they got the old voice actor, had the face modeled correctly, and I also didn't need explaining as to why it was called Jacobstown since I saw Marcus there, while with Fallout 3 my reaction to Harold was more "Really? With a tree growing out of your head as well as your old age you somehow managed to walk all the way to D.C. and the thing just kind of became you somehow?..."
