This seems like a fun idea for the long ranked lists. Not only can they work across larger games, but potentially entire series. That said, I am hoping for a ranking of every Hitman mission across the entire series. In terms of setting, characters, story, creativity in how can you eliminate your targets, there are a lot of factors to consider!
Can we get one of these for each of the Yakuza games? Each game has 60-80 side stories and most of them are insane and amazing. Would make for some good lists, especially as some of them even have follow ups further in the series!
Aw man the yakuza games are so good I love them so much not played like a dragon as not a fan of turn based fighting rpgs but yakuza 0-6 are some of my favourite games to play
The weirdest thing about Operation Anchorage is that it was obviously designed as end-game DLC (the difficulty and the rewards) but is set up in such a way that it's always the first thing other people and I do when starting a new character - classic bethesda design
@@MysteriousGuardian tbh that's why I think anchorage messes up - its hard but you start with nothing anyways. Anchorage you also get Power Armour perk and one of the best Power armour sets
I think mass effect would be a solid idea. Maybe the Arkham series (either as 4 smaller lists or one big one). If you're gluttons for punishment, GTA missions? Anyway, this was awesome. Thanks for doing it!
So pleased you've done this list - I was actually working on my own version for years and then just never got round to make the video - but did complete my initial list so it's interesting to compare. We actually had 2 quests in exactly the same position (Baby Steps at number 58 and a meeting of the minds at number 15) - and some other quests were broadly in similar tiers if not a 1:1 match - but there were a few outliers that made me re-evaluate some of my opinions. My strongest disagrees are: I had "Strictly Business" at number 56 - but I'd be willing to concede that it is technically well executed - I just couldn't really get into it unless doing an overtly stupidly evil playthrough, which isn't how I play games really I had Tenpenny Tower at Number 53 (probably the biggest discrepency) And I stand by that. While I hear your point that it is one of the few quests in fallout 3 that doesn't have a simiple binary right answer - I feel that the way it's executed is a way that points you towards the correct answer, but then retroactively twists it afterwards. And that isn't interesting quest design for me - I think they could've worked that into a more nuanced conflict and broader outcomes available - rather than slap you in the face for trying to do the right thing. It's definitely a more memorable quest, but it's one I usually ignore completely these days, and if a quest makes me want to ignore it that's not the mark of a good one I don't think. Also the ambient music of tenpenny tower is the most grating thing I've ever had to put up with in my life - and I wish that siding against the ghouls in the tower would be a way of getting you a room in the tower without blowing up megaton. It feels like that task is a lot more useful to Tenpenny than making a bomb explode - so it's weird that the latter activity is the trigger for getting you an apartment there. I get that mechanically it's to make up for the lack of room in Megaton should you destroy it - but that option in itself is kind of bullshit aside from an arbitrary set piece. Trouble on the Homefront I had at 46 - not really sure why in hindsight. I think it was disappointment more than anything else. I think returning to vault 101 for a side quest was a great idea, and the core conflict was interesting - but the fact that either way the outcome is that you can never go back there again so you never really see the result of your choice just sours it for me. Also why is Butch recruitable but not Amarta? I'd much rather have Amarta join me than Butch. It's a nice touch that you can bond with Butch after freeing them and take him with you - but I just don't think his inclusion as a companion is really justified all that well. I actually had "Escape" at number 17 - I was surprised that ranked low on yours! Like I'd maybe be persuaded to drop it down a few spots - but within the context of a first playthrough I think it does a damn good job of rounding off the tutorial with a trial that's linear but with enough quirks and moments to prepare you for the rest of the game. Complaints that not all of the NPCs could be reasoned with in any capacity - or even spoke to in an attempt to mitigate the violence aside (which is the quest's biggest flaw) - I think Escape is overall a pretty fine quest that just needed some tweeks and things built on to make it shine. And "Head of State" I had all the way up at number 3 - I just liked the scale of it, and it felt like a pretty cool moment to be a part of, and like you were having an impact on the world, which many of the other quests didn't really. I'd probably bump it down if I was going to really re-evaluate it, and I guess it's a bit less interesting than the paradise falls quests, so is a bit moot - but I remember genuinely really enjoying their whole story and feeling like you were actually planning a mission rather than just following what your dad or someone else told you to do (even if they do kind of guide you, it felt more involved rather than just being an escort - which is impressive in a literal escort mission.) My top 5 were: 5. Riley's Rangers - Your criticisms were valid, I just think it was an excellent dungeon that was the point I really started engaging with the combat in the game 4. Free Labor - For the reasons you said. The only moment in the game I genuinely froze up and didn't know what to do. That's how you do a morally ambiguous quest - I did not expect that from Bethesda at all. 3. Head of State (as above) 2. Wasteland Survival Guide - It's honestly jarring how much more fleshed out this quest is than any other in the game. All the options, all the locations, most of the tasks. I think you could make an argument for starting the game outside of vault 101 and just having this as the tutorial segment. It's so well done 1. Who Dares Wins - Okay you're right that this isn't exactly the epitome of fallout quest design - but I think I was just so relieved to have an actual campaign at the end of Broken Steel to make up for the corridor that was the main quest end in the base game, that this one got the top spot for me, even if it might have actually been more suitable with Operation Anchorage mechanics as it is basically a shooting campaign. Also it loses points for repeating Bethesda's obsession with offering you a choice to do something evil with no or weak incentives. There is no reason why you'd want to blow up the Brotherhood base in the context of the mission, it's just The power of the atom all over again. This could've been fixed by allowing you to side with the Enclave in the base game and you could maybe justify it in that case - but because you can't and the Enclave have no real redeeming features in this game, there's just no reason to shoehorn that choice in. Either make the choice more engaging or don't have it. But disagreements aside, very happy you made this video, and looking forward to you doing the same for everyone's favourite Fallout - 76 next year ;)
I agree with a lot of what you said here, especially regarding Free Labor and Wasteland Survival Guide, the former being so genuinely morally ambiguous (frankly and I know this'll ruffle some feathers but I think the choice in Free Labor is significantly more morally difficult to resolve than the entirety of the main faction dispute in New Vegas which gets way more praise online). Trouble on the Homefront kicking you out is a direct homage to Fallout 1's ending, so I think the disappointment is actually a good thing. Amata had to be the one to send you away in the most common ending, and I think they were reluctant to have a companion be so easily missed (though maybe not, considering how easy it is to miss Clover for most players). The Replicated Man is one that I'd be interested to hear more takes on. I enjoyed the way the quest is given, the way you work through the quest in most cases, and the fact that it not only has a decision but a sort of "golden ending", though the latter might not be intended. Also I very strongly disagree with the community's seeming consensus on the Institute in Fallout 4 being a mishmash of contradictions and completely without justification. They actually have pretty well established convictions and designs in the lore, you just have to poke around in their hidden areas to find it (because what they tell you, is not necessarily what is true- which I think is GOOD writing. It makes no sense to have Caesar spill every secret about the Legion in a ten minute long dialogue to someone he just met!).
Great idea for a series! After I finish watching this my next suggestion would be The Witcher 3 and all DLC’s, with the next Gen patch coming next month it would get many views for sure 👍🏻🙂
I feel like gnr should definitely be ranked higher if for no other reason than the awesome battleground of trenches and bunkers full of super mutants made for a pretty memorable fight. Would have been better with more mutties and maybe some bos allies with you. Fighting your way through the trenches or risking going over the top and being mowed down by mutants would have been awesome. Honestly would love to see more trench warfare in fallout. Just feels like it fits really well. Might be that it really fits the dark grimey setting especially considering the reality of real trench warfare
This is, I've found, an unpopular opinion, but I actually thoroughly enjoy Mothership Zeta, for the reasons stated. I started with Fallout isometric, and was always a big fan of cheesy 50s sci-fi and the retrofuturist aesthetic. Even if they were more Mad Max they still had that old clunky sci-fi feel. Mothership Zeta delivers. Everything is chrome and steam, done on a Corman budget. It's still oddly deadly serious but the two-fisted upright American square-jaw confidence is lost in the abduction recordings. Which makes it ever better. The plucky gang of survivors aren't that either, beneficially. So I just, I dig it, a lot. I dig what they were going for.
"President Eden is revealed to be A COMPUTER!" ...Have you guys never seen the "Wizard of Oz"? Nobody actually believes that nonsense. Anyway, before watching, the top and bottom for me would be... The best: Agatha's Song. (One of the most genuinely heartwarming quests I've ever come across. And the reward is a new radio station across the entire wasteland. One of the few times you really feel that you've improved the land in a meaningful way. The worst: Arefu (I forget the name of the quest, but it's the one with the ridiculous vampire cult. Where you're sent by a village to track down a mass murderer, but if you kill said murderer, the village will turn hostile and you'll lose karma. In a game where you've been haphazardly slaughtering hundreds of bandits for good karma.) Yeah, this game's attempt to shoehorn in a "morally ambiguous" quest is... basically the opposite of every single example where F3 does this thing with subtlety. And also with interesting characters (the "vampires" are portrayed as moral bloodsuckers, which just means that 1) talking to them is incredibly tedious, and 2) shooting them in the head, which you'll want to do, gets you bad karma instead of good). This might be the biggest failure of ambition, with a massive amount of effort being put into a quest whose tone falls flat and that doesn't feel like it fits in this game. What a massive waste.
I like Fallout 3 and all but it's quality is diminished with New Vegas outclassing it in every way. New Vegas is literally a better version of Fallout 3. With Fallout 4 being a better version than 3 in regards of being a blockbuster Fallout game, but with little substance. An enjoyable game but not what I personally like from Fallout.
Fallout 3 will always be close to my gamer heart. Fallout 3 was my first open world rpg style game and it made me want more. I am actively in a f03 playthrough and I honestly cant tell you how many playthroughs I have. NV is next...
This was a fantastically fun list that took me down memory Lane. It was a nice diversion from the annoyances of work from home life. Thank you and please keep these coming. Would love to see other Bethesda games, especially elder scrolls games.
I was pretty sure Wasteland Survival guide was going to be no.1. It ads a lot to the lore, shows all the good the game has to offer. Personally my no.1. But I'm really happy to see it featured (spoilers) at no.5. Also when the video started and wondered where all my favorite (and least favorite) quests were going to be. And before you finished the intro I knew I wanted the "I'll buy all the SugarBombs you have" to be damn near the bottom of the list. It ruined my first playthrough. I loved this.
One suggestion for these videos, is start in the middle and climb to both the best and worst missions last. The will also keep people guessing until the end if the mission is a best or a worst.
Great list. Fallout 3 was my introduction to Fallout. It's certainly not a perfect game, but it did make an impression on me when I first played it. Fallout New Vegas, while having plenty of flaws, is my favorite Fallout game in terms of story and characters. It also has my favorite Fallout DLC in Old World Blues. Out of all the Fallout games I've played, Cass is my favorite companion. I find her takes on the different factions interesting, and she has a charming personality (not to mention that we both share an affinity for whiskey😁). I do wish Fallout 3 had more interesting companions.
Ashur has more promise for actually curing the slaves. He hates having to use them and at the very least acknowledges that he'd never succeed without the slavery. Unlike wherner who basically has you kidnap a baby, tells you the cure could have been found faster if they didn't care about hurting the baby, and if he's put in charge not only does he keep everyone as slaves, but without the guards to gather food or fight off trogs nobody is gonna survive long
Aside from the social experiments the vaults were built for I think the most uncomfortable part of vault life would be the jumpsuit. They wear those 24/7. HOW DO YOUR BALLS BREATHE?
Decided to replay it recently, it still has a lot of charm and the environmental storytelling is top. Best Fallout? Not for me, but it is very enjoyable especially compared to recent Bethesda So yeah give it a play
I remember I got Brotherhood of Steel off my old Foster carer, for Xbox. I had a 360, and that game wasn't backwards compatible. Kinda dodged a bullet there!
@@packrunnernes it's just not that polished, it's still a lot of fun, don't get me wrong, it's just the curse of being the first game in the series basically.
@@camharkness haven't played it yet, I just know people debate a lot whether 1 or 2 is better and I got the impression that they're on the same level. Which one do you think is more accessible?
1 is probably the most polished game in the series when it comes down to which game can actually be played unpatched. its great in a lot of requisites and in some areas better than 2 (a bunch of areas actually) i would consider it 2nd best in the series
I haven't had time to watch yet, but I wanted to comment to say thank you for this video! I love these long-form list videos, and Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games of all time.
Fallout 3 is honestly an amazing Game that really doesn't deserve the absolute hate it gets. 1 and 2 have an awesome atmosphere, but 3 made the atmosphere it's own, and it's fantastic. There is even content in this game that I prefer then the other games and the asthenic is Top-notch. Glad to see some love for it 👍🏾👍🏾
Actually wheras there were some misunderstandings with the family, the real escalation happened when Lucys brother couldn't overcome his demons, the family, in my opinion while dark natured aren't evil their just stabilizing their morality and humanity via making their own rules
Ok I'm dying to watch this video but I haven't played Fallout3 yet I have it installed and modded ready to play but I just went out of the bunker and I stopped a couple of years ago this is the incentive I need to finally go through with it.
Honestly the most stable way to play it plus you get all the quality of life improvements from NV like iron sights. Hell I swear that TTW is oddly enough also the most stable way to play Vegas. Even modded to hell it seems to run better than vanilla Vegas with purely stability mods
This was pretty interesting. I like this format of ranking missions and quests. I would sugest a similar one for the 1st Borderlad. Maybe one for the Memories in Assassin's Creed Revelations or all Levels across all Lego Star Wars
Some of my favorites mind blowing quest are mostly in New Vegas: Discovering the horrible horror sex tape and the poor women dead in the secret room at the Gomorra was mind blowing for me for exemple. But in Fallout 3 I loved the quest with "Vampires" and the replicant that doesn't know it's a robot.
New Vegas would be a fun game to see you tackle for the next one, but instead, I'm gonna recommend anything from Borderlands. Maybe do a game like Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, or hell, I'd be happy with you tackling games like the OG Battlefront 2 to see where you put the 501st missions. (The Chancellor in Peril space mission was absolute shit imo, so I'd be waiting to see how you guys landed on it) Edit: Yugioh: Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution. there are six campaigns in that game with their own missions each, so you could theoretically make six videos about it given each campaign is long and comes with additional duels after you beat one person all the times.
While I'm not saying you should have done new vegas.... I understand that probably gets unbearably annoying. However I do think you should consider it as a follow up. Just for the shear fact that obsidian created a game with so much more. From things such as to how quests and literally everything you do no matter how minute or seemingly insignificant, can have insanely catastrophic consequences.to the variety of just everything else. The revamped companion system, which sees actual quests involved in building relationships with them and developing their own character arcs, hell they even nade a easy accessible companion wheel. Idk, sorry to nerd out for a minute these, LoL. Its just that I'd be very interested to hear my triple jump friends opinions on it. Just to save face...I actually love Fallout 3. I have enormous soft spot for that game, as it was my introduction to the entire series. Which has now me to having played 1&2 as well as 3, new vegas, and 4. However, I can easily say that New Vegas is the better game, but that's largely due to obsidian knowing the history of the series, seeing as how they had laid the groundwork. So it was easy for them to take the phenomenal work Bethesda did and expand on it exponentially.
The only correct way to do the Tenpenny Towers ghoul Quest is to kill Roy Phillips on sight. The other two ghouls would be better off without him as would the World At Large. If you're not going to do that then at least have the balls to lead the ghoul assault on the tower directly rather than allowing it to happen behind your back
The combat in fallout three is extremely satisfying with all corpses staying and rag dolls and all so I don’t understand why you bash them for the combat when killing Supermoon death rate there’s etc. are used that much fun
How tf is "Galaxy News Radio" so low and "Nuka Cola Challenge" so high? At the start you blast fetch quests for being boring and uninspired yet that's all NCC is, a glorified fetch quest from an unlikeable npc. GNR has you go to a unique dungeon with a cool secret miniquest attached to it and it's given by one of the more charismatic and memorable characters in the game, Three Dog. Idk who made this list but it sounds like they never played the game properly.
I'd say fallout 3 is darker than fallout 2, yknow the game where you become a porn star and play chess agaisnt a giant scorpian, not to mention the talking lizards and blatent monty python references.
I can't wait to see how you rank the Fallout: New Vegas Quests as I like that game better I know it's blasphemy but I played New Vegas first. Now to get ready for the angry mob no doubt trying to track down where I live to kick my head in.
Pretty sure the "mob" only shows up when you say something bad about new Vegas, or say you like something about 3 better. I personally prefer FNV's story and most quests better but I prefer 3 when it comes to the environment. Love the fallout franchise but honestly it has a pretty toxic fan base at times. And that's coming from someone who's favorite franchise is starwars so I definitely know all about toxic fans lol.
TripleJump: Somebody once told me the vault was gonna hold me, I busted out in search of my dad Me: Overseer killed Jonas and decided, as a bonus, I’d kill him then Amata got mad (Someone continue this- 😂)

In terms of setting, characters, story, creativity in how can you eliminate your targets, there are a lot of factors to consider!
I'd love a Hitman one, providing Colorado gets ripped to shreds. Purely because it's a map I've always struggled with, and hate as a result.
Terrible idea
@@Smartacus420 Would you care to explain why you think that, or...?
@@michaelanderson6394 no
Great idea would love to see Hitman missions ranked , Ignore salt puss Paige over here
Rank the quests in Oblivion, especially the ones from The Shivering Isles!
Can we get one of these for each of the Yakuza games? Each game has 60-80 side stories and most of them are insane and amazing. Would make for some good lists, especially as some of them even have follow ups further in the series!
Maybe each of them is a little much, but 0 and Kiwami 1 deffo great candidates

"President Eden is revealed to be A COMPUTER!" ...Have you guys never seen the "Wizard of Oz"? Nobody actually believes that nonsense.
Anyway, before watching, the top and bottom for me would be... The best: Agatha's Song. (One of the most genuinely heartwarming quests I've ever come across. And the reward is a new radio station across the entire wasteland. One of the few times you really feel that you've improved the land in a meaningful way.
The worst: Arefu (I forget the name of the quest, but it's the one with the ridiculous vampire cult. Where you're sent by a village to track down a mass murderer, but if you kill said murderer, the village will turn hostile and you'll lose karma. In a game where you've been haphazardly slaughtering hundreds of bandits for good karma.) Yeah, this game's attempt to shoehorn in a "morally ambiguous" quest is... basically the opposite of every single example where F3 does this thing with subtlety. And also with interesting characters (the "vampires" are portrayed as moral bloodsuckers, which just means that 1) talking to them is incredibly tedious, and 2) shooting them in the head, which you'll want to do, gets you bad karma instead of good). This might be the biggest failure of ambition, with a massive amount of effort being put into a quest whose tone falls flat and that doesn't feel like it fits in this game. What a massive waste.
Please do something like this for the Arkham games! Either individually or in one big block
This deserves a "thumbs up" just for the title of the video alone!
Bro you guys work so hard on your videos idk why you don't have way more subscribers!!!
I like Fallout 3 and all but it's quality is diminished with New Vegas outclassing it in every way. New Vegas is literally a better version of Fallout 3. With Fallout 4 being a better version than 3 in regards of being a blockbuster Fallout game, but with little substance. An enjoyable game but not what I personally like from Fallout.
Don't agree with fallout 4 being better than 3 in any way but generally agree with what you said
Fallout 3 will always be close to my gamer heart. Fallout 3 was my first open world rpg style game and it made me want more. I am actively in a f03 playthrough and I honestly cant tell you how many playthroughs I have.
NV is next...
This was a fantastically fun list that took me down memory Lane. It was a nice diversion from the annoyances of work from home life. Thank you and please keep these coming. Would love to see other Bethesda games, especially elder scrolls games.
I was pretty sure Wasteland Survival guide was going to be no.1.
It ads a lot to the lore, shows all the good the game has to offer. Personally my no.1. But I'm really happy to see it featured (spoilers) at no.5.
Also when the video started and wondered where all my favorite (and least favorite) quests were going to be. And before you finished the intro I knew I wanted the "I'll buy all the SugarBombs you have" to be damn near the bottom of the list. It ruined my first playthrough.
I loved this.
In my opinion, Moira Brown is one of the most entertaining NPCs in the entire Fallout franchise.
One suggestion for these videos, is start in the middle and climb to both the best and worst missions last. The will also keep people guessing until the end if the mission is a best or a worst.
Glad ya Included The AUTO AXE disappearing problem in The Intro Glad to see it’s still doing well lol
Great list. Fallout 3 was my introduction to Fallout. It's certainly not a perfect game, but it did make an impression on me when I first played it. Fallout New Vegas, while having plenty of flaws, is my favorite Fallout game in terms of story and characters. It also has my favorite Fallout DLC in Old World Blues. Out of all the Fallout games I've played, Cass is my favorite companion. I find her takes on the different factions interesting, and she has a charming personality (not to mention that we both share an affinity for whiskey😁). I do wish Fallout 3 had more interesting companions.
Ashur has more promise for actually curing the slaves. He hates having to use them and at the very least acknowledges that he'd never succeed without the slavery.
Unlike wherner who basically has you kidnap a baby, tells you the cure could have been found faster if they didn't care about hurting the baby, and if he's put in charge not only does he keep everyone as slaves, but without the guards to gather food or fight off trogs nobody is gonna survive long
my favorite FO3 quest is when you get to blow up that giant ass nuke in the first town you get to
Aside from the social experiments the vaults were built for I think the most uncomfortable part of vault life would be the jumpsuit. They wear those 24/7. HOW DO YOUR BALLS BREATHE?
I haven't played FO3 in so long, miss it.
Decided to replay it recently, it still has a lot of charm and the environmental storytelling is top. Best Fallout? Not for me, but it is very enjoyable especially compared to recent Bethesda
So yeah give it a play
I personally enjoyed fallout 3, but I enjoyed fallout 2 and new Vegas more.
I'd rank the series
New Vegas
2
3
Tactics
4
1
76
Brother hood of steel.
I remember I got Brotherhood of Steel off my old Foster carer, for Xbox. I had a 360, and that game wasn't backwards compatible. Kinda dodged a bullet there!
Curious as to why you'd place 1 so low? Not saying I disagree
@@packrunnernes it's just not that polished, it's still a lot of fun, don't get me wrong, it's just the curse of being the first game in the series basically.
@@camharkness haven't played it yet, I just know people debate a lot whether 1 or 2 is better and I got the impression that they're on the same level. Which one do you think is more accessible?
1 is probably the most polished game in the series when it comes down to which game can actually be played unpatched.
its great in a lot of requisites and in some areas better than 2 (a bunch of areas actually)
i would consider it 2nd best in the series
I absolutely loved the opening of this game. The whole Baby steps quest, and pretty much all the opening Vault content I always loved
You should've done New Vegas instead
Another Herculean effort by all involved. Kudos
I've got great memories attached to playing Fallout 3.
Would be great if you guys did the Witcher series. Starting from 1 and ending with 3's DLC.
I'm just a boy, standing in front of a UA-cam channel, asking it to do the MegaMan series for the 35th anniversary 💙
Holy shit this is a random but inspired idea for a list!
Ben actually looks like Vault boy if he was real
I've never had a better experiencie in any game as when i've completed tranquility lane. Every scene remain solid in my memory
I haven't had time to watch yet, but I wanted to comment to say thank you for this video! I love these long-form list videos, and Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games of all time.
RIP Philip. Your talents will be missed.
Thanks so much guys. I will behave myself and look forward to your best quest list for every RPG ever made. God speed lads. :)
Well, there's the next 90mins of my life gone to Triple Jump
REALLY enjoyed this video. Thank you!
I love Fall Out 3, but I still hope one day you do all Disgaea characters ranked from worst to best 😊
Fallout is one word not 2 so obviously you're not as big of a fan as you claim to be
Triple jump, you've opened up a can of worms. Best channel at these sort of lists, gameranx 2nd.
Just put all Fallout 4 quests at the bottom and New Vegas at the top, you'll get the general idea
Fallout 3 is honestly an amazing Game that really doesn't deserve the absolute hate it gets.
1 and 2 have an awesome atmosphere, but 3 made the atmosphere it's own, and it's fantastic.
There is even content in this game that I prefer then the other games and the asthenic is Top-notch.
Glad to see some love for it 👍🏾👍🏾
"Bethesda gave us all the ingredients, but forgot to cook the meal." Best way I've heard to describe some of FO3's quests and many more of FO4's.
You said you'd do this for New Vegas. Over 2 years later and we still havent gotten it
The NV list would make a nice bit of Xmas tat
Tenpenny tower: the quest where the most morally good thing to do is not complete it
The most morally good thing to do is to not even attempt it.
Fallout 3, the best Fallout game, dare I say it, Of All Time!
Actually wheras there were some misunderstandings with the family, the real escalation happened when Lucys brother couldn't overcome his demons, the family, in my opinion while dark natured aren't evil their just stabilizing their morality and humanity via making their own rules
Fallout 3 will always be my favorite. I’ll die on this hill.
I'm not going to watch this but I'm glad you posted this, love the concept.
Would you please do the rankings for games in Mega Drive Mini 2? The first one is the reason why I became a fan of this channel.
Ok I'm dying to watch this video but I haven't played Fallout3 yet
I have it installed and modded ready to play but I just went out of the bunker and I stopped a couple of years ago
this is the incentive I need to finally go through with it.
I recommend using the Tale of Two Wastelands mod.
Honestly the most stable way to play it plus you get all the quality of life improvements from NV like iron sights. Hell I swear that TTW is oddly enough also the most stable way to play Vegas. Even modded to hell it seems to run better than vanilla Vegas with purely stability mods
This was pretty interesting. I like this format of ranking missions and quests. I would sugest a similar one for the 1st Borderlad. Maybe one for the Memories in Assassin's Creed Revelations or all Levels across all Lego Star Wars
Guys this is awesome, I needed a big list to keep me going tonight.
Some of my favorites mind blowing quest are mostly in New Vegas: Discovering the horrible horror sex tape and the poor women dead in the secret room at the Gomorra was mind blowing for me for exemple. But in Fallout 3 I loved the quest with "Vampires" and the replicant that doesn't know it's a robot.
Weren't there Republic of Dave quests?
Please put time stamps.
I want to see this format for both Fallout New Vegas and 4! Maybe 1 and 2 as well?
i mean spreading green across the waistland is important... but 5dr is 5dr. might be wrong on the buff. been a while sense i played FO3
Hey, idk if y'all like borderlands, but if you are fans of the series it'd be interesting to see y'all rank the side quests of those games
I just started this game and this is going to help me decide which quests to take and leave since I can’t play the game after the main story
That mission where you have to chase the train on a motorbike should have been last place.
why do ben and peter have the exact same voice i thought it was the same dude until they introduced themselves
The wait for New Vegas begins...
New Vegas would be a fun game to see you tackle for the next one, but instead, I'm gonna recommend anything from Borderlands. Maybe do a game like Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, or hell, I'd be happy with you tackling games like the OG Battlefront 2 to see where you put the 501st missions. (The Chancellor in Peril space mission was absolute shit imo, so I'd be waiting to see how you guys landed on it)
Edit: Yugioh: Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution. there are six campaigns in that game with their own missions each, so you could theoretically make six videos about it given each campaign is long and comes with additional duels after you beat one person all the times.
While I'm not saying you should have done new vegas.... I understand that probably gets unbearably annoying. However I do think you should consider it as a follow up. Just for the shear fact that obsidian created a game with so much more. From things such as to how quests and literally everything you do no matter how minute or seemingly insignificant, can have insanely catastrophic consequences.to the variety of just everything else. The revamped companion system, which sees actual quests involved in building relationships with them and developing their own character arcs, hell they even nade a easy accessible companion wheel. Idk, sorry to nerd out for a minute these, LoL. Its just that I'd be very interested to hear my triple jump friends opinions on it. Just to save face...I actually love Fallout 3. I have enormous soft spot for that game, as it was my introduction to the entire series. Which has now me to having played 1&2 as well as 3, new vegas, and 4. However, I can easily say that New Vegas is the better game, but that's largely due to obsidian knowing the history of the series, seeing as how they had laid the groundwork. So it was easy for them to take the phenomenal work Bethesda did and expand on it exponentially.
This format is elite ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
ITS 2024 and we still havent gotten new vegas quests ranked
Can we get a ranking for all witcher 3 quests
The only correct way to do the Tenpenny Towers ghoul Quest is to kill Roy Phillips on sight. The other two ghouls would be better off without him as would the World At Large. If you're not going to do that then at least have the balls to lead the ghoul assault on the tower directly rather than allowing it to happen behind your back
Lol no you side with Roy Phillips so you get the ghoul mask
Do this for Witcher 3 I mean the video would be like a day long but still that be pretty damn awesome
Great idea for a list. Maybe Arkham Asylum? Or the whole Arkham series as a whole!
Please do one for New Vegas.
Great, now they won't
Somebody commented before watching the video
I really hope not, they'll butcher it like they did this video
Can't really butcher an opinion
Why no I don’t have anything going on for the next 93 minutes.
26:05 "Your massive mountains of Stimpaks" lol
Randomly started a new game of this last week as I haven’t touched it in many years, what are the chances of this coming out a few days later 😂
Bethesda really did gut the series
Welllll with operation anchorage the winterized power armor and gauss rifle were sure as hell Worth it
Elix1, not played 2 yet so don't spoil it for me. Kingdoms of Amalur the Re-Reckoning, might take you a few months and be a 16 hour video.
#1 Republic of Dave! WTF?
@4:55
You did WHAT, Ben?!?
The combat in fallout three is extremely satisfying with all corpses staying and rag dolls and all so I don’t understand why you bash them for the combat when killing Supermoon death rate there’s etc. are used that much fun
How tf is "Galaxy News Radio" so low and "Nuka Cola Challenge" so high? At the start you blast fetch quests for being boring and uninspired yet that's all NCC is, a glorified fetch quest from an unlikeable npc. GNR has you go to a unique dungeon with a cool secret miniquest attached to it and it's given by one of the more charismatic and memorable characters in the game, Three Dog.
Idk who made this list but it sounds like they never played the game properly.
A video like this for oblivion would be awesome
I don't understand why escape was so low.
I'd say fallout 3 is darker than fallout 2, yknow the game where you become a porn star and play chess agaisnt a giant scorpian, not to mention the talking lizards and blatent monty python references.
You should have done Fallout New Vegas instead!!
Go watch a new vegas video instead
I can't wait to see how you rank the Fallout: New Vegas Quests as I like that game better I know it's blasphemy but I played New Vegas first. Now to get ready for the angry mob no doubt trying to track down where I live to kick my head in.
Pretty sure the "mob" only shows up when you say something bad about new Vegas, or say you like something about 3 better. I personally prefer FNV's story and most quests better but I prefer 3 when it comes to the environment. Love the fallout franchise but honestly it has a pretty toxic fan base at times. And that's coming from someone who's favorite franchise is starwars so I definitely know all about toxic fans lol.
TripleJump: Somebody once told me the vault was gonna hold me, I busted out in search of my dad
Me: Overseer killed Jonas and decided, as a bonus, I’d kill him then Amata got mad
(Someone continue this- 😂)
Me: megaton wouldn't give me a room immediately, so I nuked it for a room
Well, the nukes start coming, and they don't stop coming
I escaped the vault, and I hit the ground running
Mass Effect quests ranked! Do it JumpJumpJump!
