THis is one of the best %$^#ing games ever. Get all the DLC and play round the clock. This is VR at it's best.
Pipboy 3000 was great also, once you learned how to use it (5 hours into the game).Now, what I can't explain is WHY.WHY did they put such an abrupt ending, with such absurd choices with actual ZERO influence in whatever was going to be of your dad or yourself. I enjoyed so much the complexity of this game, all the mind puzzles, choices, characters, weapons, foes, guns, places throughout the game. Dad dies, nothing you can do. It was exciting to just wander around and being able to travel LOOOOOONG distances and discovering new places, with danger around the corner. I actually felt fond of the ghouls and had a dog partner thanks to whom I had to restart or load a save when he got killed because I couldn't bare the pain of losing him,so yes, you actually do get deep into character.I had to load many times because although I tried to make good choices, sometimes I trespassed accidentally certain forbidden areas and that meant WAR to the end. I was crusing with this HUGE robot soldier, killing renegades and the BLOOP, I have to watch my dad die and also kill myself or a lady doctor, of course she died jajajajajajajajaCrucial rating on this game: the ending. The rest is brilliant.
For one, if you dont mind reading all of the text in the game, the story-writing of the subquests is solid and quite enjoyable. Just as with Oblivion it is too easy to build a super character that is excellent, without even trying to do that. I had issues with Oblivion after about 10 hours of gameplay (super too easy, super generic subquests and dungeons) but it was 100% fun for those first 10 hours. I personally liked that quite a bit. It is a very solid B+ game, but there's no way its a "A" game. A real effort was made to flesh out the gameworld with memorable characters and little stories about them. The game is too easy on normal difficulty.
Finally, the main story is not all that compelling, which is unfortunate in a game that clearly _wants_ to tell a compelling story. Happily, Fallout 3 isnt just "Oblivion with guns." You can tell they learned a few things while making Oblivion and avoided some of their previous mistakes. Hard difficulty doesnt fix this problem but at least the combat offers a challenge in the earlier parts of the game. Just know that it is all in text. The broken auto-leveling system in Oblivion is improved here, but far from perfect. I enjoyed Fallout 3 and it was entirely worth playing but it basically an action game with some lite RPG elements and those RPG character-building elements dont always make a lot of sense. Fix the RPG aspects in Fallout 4, and then we'll see.
i loved oblivion. so i decided to try a game made by bethesda that seemed like oblivion with guns, but it was so much more than that the story was so much more deep than oblivion's. and i thought you couldnt have any more freedom than in oblivion not true so many new ways to complete missions from karma to stealth. fallout 3 is a great game i highly recomend it.
It's one the biggest most expansive games I have played. And it feels so epic running around the ruined D.C. area.
