Let's Play!... But Why?

I've been receiving requests to do a Let's Play" for Fallout 3 for a long time. And I've been wondering, why would anyone want me to? I've been publishing video guides almost the entire time I've been an active YouTube user, so where do "Let's Play" requests come from?

I'm not saying I will or won't do one, but I just don't understand how and/or why anyone came to the conclusion that I should do one.
Please comment and shed some light on this for me! I've been on the fence about weather or not it's something I should actually do. Your opinions will help me make my mind up (for better or worse).

I don't think you should. They would be too long, and for me Lets Play's are boring if it's not a game that pisses you off or you can make fun of. If you made one, I probably would not watch it.

Hey CP I gotta admit that I love watching Let's Play videos like Freeman's Mind but Fallout 3 is a more of a personal choice game and you would probably be taking a lot of heat for making a choice that the viewers don't like (despite what choice you take I would still watch) so I wouldn't, but it's your decision.

I totally love lp's and I think that you are the Best choice for such an Long Project! You can have votes like "Should I bomb megaton or not" and Stuff like this!
And I think that you have much more tips or things to say about the games! Also I would love Full HD Fallout 3

Well, people love Let's Plays. You, as you must know to some degree, have very nice voice that people enjoy listening to. People also like Fallout 3. A lot. There are tons of Let's Plays of it. People also like seeing people who know what they are doing showing them how they play the games. You, sir, know what you are doing. Now, do I think you should? No. Why? Well, like I said, there are tons of Let's Plays of it already and you CAN create a perfect character, so there is not much room to be unique besides your commentary. If I were you and wanted to do a Let's Play, I would do something like Oblvion or maybe Dragon Age or Mass Effect. These are games which have very different class structures, or in the case of Oblvion, at least different paths you can take. They still have the moral and ethical challenges we all seem to love, and there will be a butt load of content for you to cover as well. If you're going to do a Fallout Let's Plays, do other games in the Fallout series or wait until New Vegas comes out.

personally i think you should not do a lets play of fallout 3 because there are already tons of lets plays of fallout 3 already on youtube, secondly your guides are great and i think you should continue with them because they are your strong point and lets plays aren't really your style. in reagarsd to your guids i think you should do the armour guide people have been asking you to but after that there arnt really anymore fallout 3 guides that you could do so i think that you should guides of other games from then on

Should you do a fallout 3 LP? Thats up to you. Just remember that its a long, and tedious game. You can spend about 100 hours if you wanted, and still never finish the main quest. And at the youtube video time limit you would have a LOT of videos at the end.

But also keep in mind, that this would be a more in depth guide than your other ones. Not only would you show how to complete certine annoying quests, you would show the more powerful weapons, what perks one might take uppon their fallout experiance, and most importantly, how to handle deathclaws for the beguiners. I remember my first time with a deathclaw... I'd rather not talk about it.

All in all, you will still have my subscription at the end of the day.

One last thing, eh? ARMOUR GUIDE =3
