@Havoc, are you for serious?
Fallout 3's story isn't a close copy of F1 or F2 story. It's a cheap rip-off.
You cannot say that the Eden scene from F3 comes anywhere close to F1 Master scene, which F3 mocks. (This is a video spoiler from F1). F3 basically copies the whole idea to fuck it up, so it comes out as bland and interesting as it ever can be.
The developers from Bethesda didn't really understand what made Fallout games great, instead just mindlessly copied everything. That's not a way of making good games. I mean, I almost crapped my pants finishing F1, it was so awesome, so climatic, and gooood.
Not to mention that beating Master rhetorically was actually quite hard, you had to do a little bit of research (find some data disc in some location, I believe) and carefully plan your dialogue choices. NOT FUCKING SAY "[Speech 100%] You know what, kill yourself."
Both Fallout1 and 2 feature longer dialogue choices than just "one-liners". I can't find any at this moment, but I've seen some that consist of three lines and more. Bethesda would never do that in F3.
