I recall when I played through the first time I went into one of the random ruined houses spread throughout the game. There's not many NPCs in the game, which may annoy players who expect an RPG to be primarily about interaction, but the game is masterful in its use of subtle storytelling. as well as the surrounding former Virginian countryside.
FALLOUT 3 ARMORED VAULT 101 JUMPSUIT REPAIR SERIES
There's more plot, including tracking down your father and becoming involved in a conflict between the remnant of the United States government as well a funky power-armored version of King Arthur's court (Fallout is a weird game series man), but the real heart of the game is just wandering around the ruins of Washington D.C. Liam Neeson plays one of the last bastions of sanity and goodness in a lunatic world. Believed to be colluding in some form of treason, the Overseer of your Vault chases you out and the Lone Wanderer must now survive in the bandit, radiation, as well as mutant-filled Capital Wasteland. Unfortunately, said father abruptly abandons his child upon adulthood and flees into the Wasteland for reasons unknown. The protagonist, eventually known as the Lone Wanderer, is one of the survivors who had the good fortune to grow up safe in one of the nicer Vaults under a loving father (voiced by Liam Neeson). The majority of survivors either chip out an existence in bizarre Mad Max-esque communities or live in isolationist Vaults that, more often than not, have driven its residents mad. The premise is, in an alternate universe where the Cold War never ended and a jingoistic fascist United States became embroiled in a nuclear war with communist China, most of humanity has been wiped out. I think Knights of the Old Republic and Symphony of the Night are the only other games which will never fail to be awesome. You should play it if you haven't already." The objections I have to the game are fairly minor and the game still holds up pretty well years later, which is something I rarely get to say about video games. I'll include some general mentions of what is flawed about the game, don't worry, but if you want the short of the review then it's, "this is one of the best games I have ever played.
The Capital Wasteland is beautiful and horrifying at once. So, this is going to be a love-fest review. Fallout 3 is a very affecting game and while not to the darkness level of, say, Metro 2033, it's still a work which I strongly support for introducing me to the joys of post-apocalypse gaming. Frankly, I can't help but think people forget a lot of the pathos from Fallout 3 which is largely absent from other entries in the series. While Fallout 3 is still well-regarded, generally the fandom's opinion is that its spin-off, Fallout: New Vegas, is much-better.
With the news Fallout 3 is going to be included with Fallout 4, it seemed the perfect time to review this grimdark post-apocalyptic science-fiction classic.I should note, before I get into this review, it's interesting how the public's perception of games can shift on a dime.
