->And set out on an epic main quest: to help your Dad install a Water Filter... or don't. Because everyone knows the real joy of ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' is dicking around. So put saving the world on hold as you spend hundreds of hours: helping an old lady find her Violin, stealing the Declaration of Independence, [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext talking to a tree]], becoming a Vampire, filling an apartment with all your soda and doll parts so you're light enough to move again, and just good old fashioned murder-fests. Go ahead; nuke a city! Your dad won't even get that mad at you.
-->-- '''WebVideo/HonestTrailers''', ''VideoGame/Fallout3''

->So why am I running around in this game fucking around, going to other planets, and fighting enemies that aren't a direct threat to Earth? During Cayde's plotline you have to help him get out of this teleporter that he gets stuck in, and yeah, it's one of more funny and interesting stories in the game but then I realized this is the same plot as Rabbit's House from Whinny the Pooh. Did you guys forget we have a planet to save? It reminded me of ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', another game where the Earth was getting blown up by space monsters, but all the quests were just of Shepard fucking around.

->You're introduced to Triple Triad from the very beginning of the game: a collectable card-battling game that's swept the entire planet, to the point that it's the ''only'' thing ''anyone'' plays. It's like ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' on that score, only '''every person alive'''--children, adult, or elderly--has a deck of cards...But not only that, the game is so widespread and popular that organizations that can only be described as CULTS have sprung up around it, with people engaging in strange rituals, organizing secret underground gambling circles, and calling themselves strange code names to protect their identity from others....Ohhhh, but you don't find the "King of Cards"; he finds '''''YOU.'''''
