The day it came out I was home alone and still studying. No one else was home and the closest game shop was an hour's drive away, and I had no car.
So I asked an elderly neighbor to loan me their car and I used that to go pick up the game.
Dedication.
What they didn't mention is their lack of license and the high speed chase they had with the cops.
The important thing is they got the game.

What a great game at a great time in my life. Fallout 3 gave me the same feeling if not a better one.
Fallout 3 was my first roleplaying game period. I saw the Prima Games guide at my library and then I bought my friend's PS3 from him and a new copy.
PS3 was easily the worst way to play that game, but I did not care.
I eventually played New Vegas, and I would say I like that game more. But, I don't think it ever recreated the feeling I had stepping out of Vault 101 for the first time.
I don't think any Fallout will quite live up to exiting 101. There's the history there, both played through and implied, the level of threat you face, choices to be made... You fight your way through, say goodbye, possibly while asking your best friend to come with you, and step out into...
Peaceful nothingness. No gunshots, no ones following you. From tight corridors to open space, a ceiling to the sky, cold steel to warm stone underneath your feet. Your radio springs to life, picking up the Enclave station quickly followed by GNR a few steps away. Springvale and Megaton off in the distance, setting a natural course.
It gives you a narrow, linear corridor and then says "Here it is. Welcome to the world". Something Oblivion also did, but not quite to the cinematic level Fallout 3 provided.
That man is now a grandfather
That... "Christmas Trees" is certainly a unique take.
Kind of like a green cone of sadness
I would say it is an advent calendar. Many little pockets.
Is this to remind us of the oblivion remake?
You actually just reminded me of that with this comment
There's an Oblivion remake?!
It was revealed from a court case where Bethesda's roadmap was made public. I think recently it's been confirmed it's still being released, and that it has something to do with Unreal Engine 5.
Skyblivion is trying for a release in 2025
bro looks like a khajiit in a red hood and scummy leather armor picked up his calipers just off-frame
Shame it was the Xbox version, though. These games are meant to be played with mods, if for no other reason than to fix the bugs that Bethesda won't.
