Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition

I know how may people have a dislike of this game because it was the first made by Bethesda. And yes many Problems (writing) and the overall blandness of the game make it not as good as1, 2 or New Vegas. But you have to admit, for the first Game, Bethesda did a decent job. It has many interessting locations. The writing/narrative is decent ( at the beginning ) And the worldbilding is mostly pretty good. I think 3 is the Best Bethesda Fallout and the forth best Fallout game overall

It was my first Fallout game (yeah, don't judge me), and I still think it's better and more Fallouty then the New Vegas (what's that - postapocalyptic western with stupid securitrons?) and Fallout4 (which only good sides being decent NON-FALLOUTY plot and improved combat). It was the first 1st person Fallout attempt, which few fans expected, and the reuse of the Gamebryo engine, outdated even by the standards of late 2000s, also did little good for the game reception. But you just have to install it and dive into the game to see how good it is. After finishing the game, mod the hell out of it (Wanderer's Edition FWE mod highly recommended!) and play it again for twice (maybe even thrice?) the time you'd spend on the 1st vanilla playthough. On a side note, the full price for a 2008 game is ridiculous (that's Bethesda for you).

As I still had no customer experience on the site, when I purchased the game in "download offline backup game installers" mode and installed, it asked for a second disk for installation, I even refunded the game thinking that the problem would be with it in itself however, the solution is simpler than I expected. It would be just me redownloading the executable because it had been corrupted, a fact that can happen with the download of any file... Well, as soon as I discovered this possible solution, I didn't hesitate to buy again a copy of the access to the game and it's everything flowing perfectly, I love this franchise, it's a dream come true to play this title! There are several character builds to make and explore this great world.

Many people have criticized this game. I think that the main reason for it, is that Fallout 3 is the immediate subsequent game of the first two in the series (that are most favored by many people) and NOT that the third part is a bad game by itself. It’s another case of a series’ game that it is judged unfairly because people can’t get over with the previous games in that series, like in Deus Ex: Invisible War. From my part, in this series I’ve played only this one and New Vegas (in this order) and I tell you I liked this one most. I especially preferred the devastation shown in the whole region (wrecked cars and trains, badly damaged buildings and roads), which really shows the result of a bomb explosion. Whereas in New Vegas the region was more like in Far West movies and couldn't depict the same result (although admittedly it had better quests). Also the devastation that I mention, and the whole immersion, for me is enhanced by the constant "grey colour" all around in the map. While in New Vegas there was much "orange" which made the game look somewhat "happier" and couldn't make me feel like I was in an immediate danger. Also, the map is big enough with many locations. Not all of them are part of quests, but you can visit them (and I did) to learn more of the world’s lore and other interesting little secrets.

on my previous PC I was able to play the game just fine because it was older hardware, but since upgrading to my current one with the most recent intel core the game crashes on startup. the issue is it is a hardware problem and a software one.
