Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition

* Great graphics (can't complain about the scenery as the name says it all). * Great action, plenty of fighting if that's what you're into and if not, there's a way to enjoy the game without having to worry about being killed. * Controller support - XBox360 though I use a 3rd party software to map they keyboard to my controller for the way I prefer to play it. * Almost endless options and hundreds of hours of game play, depending on the choices you make throughout. * Numerous quests. * Interesting, maze-like tunnels and buildings. I use a large sketch pad and keep a note pad handy for mapping and jotting down tips.... and so much more that makes this game fun to play over a long period of time. I really don't have anything negative to say about this one. If the scenery ever gets to me, I just go play something like Avatar game to brighten my mood but that seldom happens. Very well worthwhile but not for kids if you are concerned about language.

Orginally bought this though Steam but had nothing but problems with it freezing and crashing every 15min. Decided to try the GOG version and three hours in, I haven't had one freeze or crash! It's so nice to finally be able to play this again after so many years! If you love open world RPGS this is truly a great game.

Absolutely love this game, Got it here, rather than STEAM, as GOG have it working without constant crashes. The full game, with DLCs, is still worth the best part of £20 even now. Buy it on sale and you'll feel guilty for not having paid more. Some like New Vegas more. You can buy that on GOG as well, I did. I always liked the underground more than the dusky outback. Anyhow, buy them both and you'll have 100's of hours of gameplay. WIn 10 / 1080ti / i7 7700 / 16gb ram

I'm halfway into a 2nd playthru, which you can do thanks to the different ways you can play, the sheer size of the game, and all the mods and addons you can install. My only gripe is if you come to the game for the first time as I did, by buying this GOTY version with no foreknowledge, you may get unlucky (as I was) and encounter the later-released DLCs early on (except Broken Steel) when they're best avoided until you're in the mid/late phase of the game. The following DLC info contains no spoiler except some in the last para, on Operation Anchorage: Broken Steel: you won't meet until after ending the main quest's "Take It Back" and it's great not in itself (because once completed the game thereafter soon becomes boring and is effectively concluded) but for the simple fact that it enables the game to be played after the original game's "Take it Back" quest is completed. I thus recommend not starting Broken Steel ("Death From Above" quest onwards) until you exhaust all else and want to steer the game toward it's conclusion. Point Lookout ("The Local Flavor" onwards) - the best DLC, it's another map region with plenty to do. The Pitt ("Into The Pitt" onwards) - another region, but small map and just one slavery-type quest with no black or white solution, but no impact on the main game. I didn't like it, some do. Mothership Zeta ("Not of This World") - best avoid or at least until after "Take It Back", for it's a very different and monotonous (seemingly endless) warren, after which you can only go back to a small part. I didn't care for it at all. Operation Anchorage ("Aiding the Outcasts"), or as I call it "Fallout 3: Call of Duty" - SPOILER here: This is a game within a game (a training sim of commando ops) used to train recruits for fighting a WW3 Chinese invasion of Alaska. The Outcasts need you to play it in order to unlock an armoury. Fun but it's final boss-fight is glitchy, and the bullet-proof armour it grants ruins any real difficulty in the main game.

First of all, I would like to thank GOG for having the only playable Fallout 3 on PC. I'm able to play this game on my Windows 10 PC. There's still crashes sometimes, but it doesn't happen often. The one on Steam is broken and unoptimized, and won't work without tons of fixes and mods. Plus, the one on GOG has a cloud save. Sadly, there are still no achievements. Fallout 3 is the first 3D Fallout game, and despite being 12 years old, it still looks good. The GOTY Edition contains all DLCs, the most important being Broken Steel, which acts as an epilogue to the main story and allows you to continue playing after the ending, essentially making the game endless. You can still roam around and do quests after finishing Broken Steel. The main quest is great, and the DLCs are fun, too. Operation: Anchorage is an Alaskan war simulation, Mothership Zeta allows you to encounter and fight aliens, The Pitt brings you to Pittsburgh and meet with raiders, and Point Lookout brings you to a swampy island. You will get unique outfits and weapons from the DLCs, and some of them are quite strong. My main complain about this game is that while the Capital Wasteland is a big map, there are very few sidequests compared to locations. Many locations are just there to hunt for extra loot, with no quests tied to it. The most notable is the Capitol Building, despite being an iconic real-life location and featured on Fallout 3 posters, there are no quests tied to that place. My other complain would be the companions, as most of them require a certain level of karma to be recruited. They're also rather bland, with no companion quests whatsoever.
