For anyone having trouble:
If you have integrated graphics like on a laptop, the game might crash on trying to start a new game. You can download an easy fix for this on nexus mods called Intel graphics bypass. It tricks the game into thinking you have an actual graphics card so it will run, other than that there is no hassle and the performance is overall great.

A VERY EASY FIX
Launching and Crash Fix. I've purchased this game at least seven times since its release. I would give it 5 stars, but giving Bethesda praise after all these years of not fixing the past bugs in their games just so they can make money for defective videogames isn't going to happen. Anyway, I posted this mainly to be helpful for people who'd like to enjoy a classic RPG that will most likely have some sort of issue with bugs, like the issue that the game would crash after pressing New Game. I have Windows 10 Home. So here is a really easy fix for anyone wanting to play that I found: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/24913 If you don't already have a Nexus account, you'll need to make one, download the mod, and do exactly what is instructed. Make sure to download the files needed and place them in the main Fallout 3 folder. Double-click the left mouse button on the patch icon in your folder, and then launch after the patch does its thing. My game started right away. I use 7-zip to extract my mods. Here is the link to 7-zip: https://7-zip.org/ I hope this helps.✌️

I love 3 just as much as New Vegas
People love hating on fallout 3 because it wasn't made by obsidian. I personally loved fallout 3, I thought it struck the perfect balance between Bethesda's obsession with streamlining and keeping old core mechanics. The world building and atmosphere were amazing, the intro in the vault was my favorite unskippable dungeon of all the fallouts. Some quests and areas did feel a tad rushed or unfinished and the companions were shallow; lacking dialogue and personality. I think Fallout 3 and New Vegas are about equal overall, each gaining and losing points in different areas. Fallout 4 is a totally different story where Bethesda has jumped the shark, but I really feel like they did a great job with 3 and remained loyal and true to the spirit and mechanics of fallout.

No Longer Functions on Windows 10
I have tried all the fixes, browsed all the forums, done everything I can but this game no longer works. I do not know why Fallout 3 suddenly crashes immediately after pressing "play" but I have really tried everything. Buyer beware, this game will not run, do not buy it.

I cant play fallout 3 still..
Great game and id love to play it, but i cant. I bought this version rather than the cheaper steam version because i heard GOG fixed the majority of its issues and so I thought i wouldnt have to worry about it. Turns out it freezes just as frequently as the steam version.
