For 200 years, Vault 101 , a fallout shelter, has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

- Short Main quest but ChallengingI totally lost a weekend with this game. I had just relocated my copies of the first 2 so it was a breeze to get out and start the questing. Found ammo tough to come by especially for the Scoped 44 that was a huge early find for me. Lots of lock ups on exit even with patch with data loss on 2 occaisions that really hurt (save often).
Nothing new really the story line not very satisfying and end game too limited but as a way to kill time it is deadly to spare hours. If you liked the first ... Read More

- The complainers are IDIOTS! (Fallout 3 Survival Edition)After reading all the posts, I was chomping at the bit worring that my Survival Edition was not worth the $, and my clock was cheap crap. Well, I have one thing to say..I LOVE MY SURVIVAL EDITION!!!
The Pipboy3000 is absoutly the COOLIST!!! the giger counter in the upper left is actually made from a compass! (it works too!) the knob moves, the slider wheel moves, the buttons under the desplay light up red when I press them and the display is bright (just wish it was military time). The ... Read More

- Post Apocalyptic world from Bethesda's point of view done well.Although it is not the classic Fallout or Fallout 2 of days passed :( it does bring back that classic and incredible feeling I got playing those games. The idea you can essentially be the person you want to in this post apocalyptic world.
The main quest seems kinda lame if one compares it to the originals, but if you wanna do that the aspect of this game (which is a good majority of it, I'd say 75%+ of it) the wandering around and exploring the world before you (WHICH is massive and ... Read More

- This game is a BLAST!!!!!!!I've played Fallout 1,2 and tactics. This game is the ultimate evolution of the three previous versions. I just love the ability to be able to change between first-person and third person views and the V.A.T.S. targeting system is the perfect substitute for the turn-based combat from previous games. I find myself playing this game for what seems to be on hour and then looked up at the clock and five hours ago by. Time definitely flys by when playing this game.

- oh look, another elder scrolls game. joy...this 3rd installment is excellent in the realm of physics but has "Bethesda made this product" written all over it! the orignal 2(and I played and owned those from 1997/99 so i am a veteran player) had better dialouge and more atmosphere this is just "Oblivian" in the future times with a differnt sky same font, diffent landscape same lame font, and the bland dialogue trees of "where's the bar" "You'll have to go south then east for that." "Wheres my old man?" "He disappeared some time ago, followed ... Read More
