Decided to finally give the series a try after the amazon series made it impossible to ignore.

Initially the game is straight up Bethesda junk, and while in the vault i was not so much hooked as i had hoped to be, but i kept playing till i reached the wastlands. I had no ideia of what or how to play, but for that same reason the game became more intriguing as i discovered how to heal properly and get rid of radiation and so on, thats when the game really clicks. The start-mid game is the best part and more challenging we have a good grasp of how the game works but not everything. Sadly the game can become a bit repetitive doin the same "subway" and underground areas can become tiring after 50+ hours. And as you explore eventually you get so overpowered that everything in your way just gets annihilated in secounds.

The story is just an excuse to send you over the map and explore, its not all that good. To the point i had to confirmed that i had finished the main story after completing it. Its pretty mediocre and when you think it will get interesting it just ends.

The post game seems to be pretty much 4 or 5 times the size of the main campain giving you plenty to explore after you end the main story. I still have plenty to see but cant say for sure if i will explore it all being that im burnt out in all the repetitive areas of the game.

The classic Bethesda flair is also here, that being the shitty ass bugs that for no reason just kept crashing the game, 3 radscorpions attack at the same time crash, too many explosions crash, alt tab the game crash [never alt tab the game...] Besides the anoying crashs and me getting stuck inside the floor once or twice the game runs as expected from a 2000's game.

Overall it is pretty enjoyable at its peaks, the major draw back i see in the game is the story not using enough of the map, and leaving most of it for the post game. Besides that, it was way better then what people on YouTube tell you.

three solid attempts over the course of like five years and i made it further this time but i give up i just hate this game i'm sorry to say

zero compelling characters

ugly world

filled with pointless shit

boring mechanics

not for me i guess

Played this for the first because of the show, pleasantly surprised by how well it had held up. Getting used to VATs was nowhere near as clunky as I thought it'd be.

Comparing this game to my experience with Starfield is quite sad honestly, I want to love Bethesda like I did when they released Skyrim...they just aren't the same as they were from 2008-2011.

Decent main story, great side content and variety of characters, and DLCs that provide different experiences from the base game, definitely worth trying if you've never played it before.

Um dos melhores RPGs que eu já joguei. Ter descoberto esse jogo na época foi uma loucura (no bom sentido), o que me fez amar esse estilo de jogo, que trago como favorito, até os dias de hoje. E eu agradeço ao meu primo por ter me apresentado essa obra de arte.

PS.: Tentei jogar no PC anos depois e estava injogável. É muito triste a performance dos jogos da Bethesda no PC, principalmente desses jogos mais antigos. Mesmo baixando vários MODs de correção, os problemas persistem. E é uma pena pensar na possível quantidade de pessoas que não experienciaram esse jogo por conta disso.

A great first entry in Bethesda's Modern RPG formula. This one compared to Fallout New Vegas has aged like milk, yet when compared to similar RPG games by other publishers, stands above.

Main game ending pre DLC was a copout and exists to sell you Broken Steel which provides a half-assed "ending" anyway. The Pitt was alright, even if you engage in Infant cannibalism. Point Lookout is your average expansion, nothing really crazy notable. Mothership Zeta is the same way, although fighting aliens was cool back in the day.

Приятно было вновь, спустя 15 лет погрузиться в разрушенный Вашингтон. Конечно, сейчас нормально на PC без модов не поиграть в эту игру. В целом, Bethesda как по мне, смогли в интересный трехмерный Fallout. Этот мир интересно изучать, в нем интересно быть. Да, где-то слишком много шутерной составляющей, поэтому New Vegas в этом плане мой любимый Fallout, там все в меру, здесь как и в четвертой части нужно много стрелять местами. Но это не такая большая проблема, как я сказал уже выше, мир, атмосфера, ее персонажи. Все это делает Fallout уникальной игрой, и в любую часть этой серии я обязательно рекомендую поиграть каждому.

Fallout 3 is not an RPG. You have your numbers and stats but you almost can't decide anything beside some side content story branches here and there. That's not something necesarily bad, but it's clearly lacking compared to other Bethesda games. You always are constantly on the verge of death, needing healing items or, especially, ammo. This is fun most of the time in games and here it does help creating the setting and some interesting situations, but the problem is the weight mechanic. You are carrying too much weight all the time. In a game where ammo is so limited it's recommended to play changing constantly between types of weapons. And you have to carry so many different weapons all the time. It's not only an annoying issue per se, having to constantly open and closing your Pipboy to change weapons is also quite annoying. At least ammo weighs zero. Thankfully.

Beside that, it's, again, a Bethesda game within its exploration. Everywhere you go, anything you see in the distance can be an interesting landmark and you'll find yourself making detours all the time even when you already had made up your mind to focus on the main story. Even if it's a wasteland, it's not just that. It's not empty at all.

I, tho, didn't like the metro gimmick at all. I mean, it looks like an open world game, but it really isn't, you have to get in the metro to access other areas. To be honest, an underground metro in a post post-apocalypse setting like is Fallout is something amazing in theory. Looks scary. Feels scary. It's an awesome idea. But it falls quickly to deliver what it meant and transforms into something just very annoying to traverse just to get to some other new place. Why can't I just go where I want or need in a straight line and deal with the consecuences of my actions by myself without having to lose a lot of time having to get inside the labyrinthic underground metro... That was the least I liked about this game...

But oh well, at the end of the day, Fallout 3 has quite a charm, despite its flaws. It's a game worth trying out.
