Fallout 3
I loved this game and played for ages until win 10 killed it. Bought on steam and never worked. Sudden hope seeing it on herre and bought it instantly. Bitterly disappointed, crashes in the same way Steam does, i'm so unhappy right now.

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.

Flawless Online/Offline Install 0 Issues
Since this is more of an assurance to people about the functionality of this game, not a review, I'll cook-up a two-sentence review: If you like Fallout: NV/4 in general, and can tolerate an aged game, you'll love Fallout 3. If you love the first two Fallout games... well, you're a hard bunch to please and you'll probably hate the changes in lore, which is similar to how XCOM: EU & XCOM2 moved away from some of its earlier lore. That said, this game works fine. I installed it once via Galaxy, tested it out, and uninstalled it, and then installed it with the offline installers (while offline). No issues either time, 6hrs+ in and zero crashes, glitches, or hiccups. And I didn't need Galaxy to verify/repair anything in the offline install, and didn't get any alerts asking me to connect to anything. Also? There *is controller support, at least for my XBOX gamepad. So, short of being a total asshole—maybe do some research before assuming it's a broken game, and that goes for any game. Your system may not be up-to-date enough, or not out-of-date enough, or just not "whatever" enough (or maybe something truly anomalous has occurred,) but whatever the case is, that's not the game's fault, it's a user error. The most common (PC) problems brought up are easily fixed: Update your drivers. That's the most commonly overlooked fix that I see. Everyone always thinks that they're good for life, but you do have to keep up on them. This has nearly always sorted out any crash issues I've ever had with any game. Reinstall/Repair. First, you should already have a .d3d9.dll on your PC. If you don't, install the *proper DirectX, or update the current one, if you're sure it's the correct one—*or if it's the far more common error, all you have to do is run an sfc/scannow which will usually repair the d3d9.dll file, which may just not be reading. I wouldn't recommend manually replacing the .d3d9.dll, for various reasons. Hopefully this helps someone out.
