Brilliant game but a pain to run

Firstly I’d say that I love this game. Fallout 3 was my first RPG and I’ve invested hundreds of hours playing it on xbox 360 over the years. The fact that I love this game so much is the only reason I stuck with it and didn’t ask for a refund sooner. This game is terribly optimised for Windows 10 users. I had heard that the GOG version was better than Steam and worked straight away, however it would still crash constantly when trying to start a new game despite trying multiple fixes. Personally I would suggest to anyone that bought this game to download TTW but that would also require New Vegas (a great game itself) but you shouldn’t have to purchase a whole other game just to be able to play this one. Installing TTW can also be very confusing for those who are not very experienced in modding and on top of that, I had to download NVAC to stop it from constantly crashing to desktop every time I entered combat. Fortunately, the game appears to be fairly stable now but it required a massive amount of time and effort to finally get working (far more than what is suitable). As I said above, I love this game so the effort it took was eventually worth it for me, but future buyers should be aware that it may require a tremendous amount of effort and hours of patience and more money just to get it running.

Finally able to play F3 on Windows 10

Thank God for GOG, I'm lucky I found this so I didn't have to get back on my Xbox 360 just to play this game. Smooth and bug/crash free.

FINALLY!

After almost 20hours over the course of nights (After work) of messing around with my Steam version of this game, going through countless versions of "Easy Fix" for the Games for Windows Live issue and "xlive.dll" missing problem with constant frustration really wanting to play one of my most memorable games from the 360 era, a game I probably spent a good 700-800hours on wondering around hunting down every unique item I could, and REALLY REALLY wanting to play this game again (After 7years?) I had two options either dig out my Xbox 360 and hope it didn't have red ring of death (and deal with all the bad stutters and random crashes and low FPS it had) OR re-buy the game on GOG, after reading about so many people going through the same thing as me and trying everything they could to fix the Steam version of the game, I decided to purchase the game on GOG and pray for best. BEST DECISION I MADE THIS YEAR SO FAR! You purchase the game > Download it > Play, runs smooth, no stutter, no GFWL Crap. Runs and Plays like a dream, now i can go back to being that crafty sniper with 10 agility and 1 intelligence. TL;DR - Amazing, So happy I fount out about GOG.

Works like a charm

Installed under Windows 10 (64) and it works like a charm. Installation without problems and it runs without a hitch (for couple of hours now). Seems that GOG did a good job reviving this classic... Fallout 3 may not be the "bestest" of Fallout in old series fans eyes. But this was my first contact with the series and I enjoyed it a lot. Just this year I wanted to give it the third run and found that my original Games for Windows version is not working. Seems that GOG did a good job reviving this classic...
