Description
Prepare for the Future™
With Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, experience the most acclaimed game of 2008 like never before. Create a character of your choosing and descend into an awe-inspiring, post-apocalyptic world where every minute is a fight for survival. Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition includes all five of the Fallout 3 Game Add-on Packs:

  • Operation: Anchorage - Enter a military simulation and fight in the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders.
  • The Pitt - Travel to the post-apocalyptic remains of Pittsburgh and become embroiled in a conflict between slaves and their Raider masters.
  • Broken Steel - Increase your level cap to 30, and finish the fight against the Enclave remnants alongside Liberty Prime.
  • Point Lookout - Embark on a mysterious and open-ended adventure in a huge, murky swampland along the coast of Maryland.
  • Mothership Zeta - Defy hostile alien abductors and fight your way off of the alien mothership, orbiting miles above the Capital Wasteland.

Main Features:
  • Limitless Freedom - Take in the sights and sounds of the vast Capital Wasteland! See the great monuments of the United States lying in post-apocalyptic ruin! You make the choices that define you and change the world. Just keep an eye on your Rad Meter!
  • Experience S.P.E.C.I.A.L. - Vault-Tec engineers bring you the latest in human ability simulation — the SPECIAL Character System! Utilizing new breakthroughs in points-based ability representation, SPECIAL affords unlimited customization of your character. Also included are dozens of unique skills and perks to choose from, each with a dazzling variety of effects!
  • Fantastic New Views - The wizards at Vault-Tec have done it again! No longer constrained to just one view, experience the world from 1st or 3rd person perspective. Customize your view with the touch of a button!
  • The Power of Choice - Feeling like a dastardly villain today, or a Good Samaritan? Pick a side or walk the line, as every situation can be dealt with in many different ways. Talk out your problems in a civilized fashion, or just flash your Plasma Rifle.
  • Blast 'Em Away With V.A.T.S. - Even the odds in combat with the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System for your Pip-Boy Model 3000! V.A.T.S. allows you to pause time in combat, target specific body parts on your target, queue up attacks, and let Vault-Tec take out your aggression for you. Rain death and destruction in an all-new cinematic presentation.
  • Mind-Blowing Artificial Intelligence - At Vault-Tec, we realize that the key to reviving civilization after a global nuclear war is people. Our best minds pooled their efforts to produce an advanced version of Radiant AI, America's First Choice in Human Interaction Simulation. Facial expressions, gestures, unique dialog, and lifelike behavior are brought together with stunning results by the latest in Vault-Tec technology.
  • Eye-Popping Prettiness* - Witness the harsh realities of nuclear fallout rendered like never before in modern super-deluxe HD graphics. From the barren Wasteland, to the danger-filled offices and metro tunnels of DC, to the hideous rotten flesh of a mutant's face.
    *Protective Eyewear Encouraged.

Thank you, gog

The game runs flawlessly in win 11. I am 50 hours in, have experienced maybe 5 CTDs, but other than that everything worked out of the box. Even alt-tabing works 8 out of 10 times. I had huge problems running it on steam, but decided to try it here, also, based on reviews. Absolutely recommended! Thanks again for this great release.

Broken software

Over years I tried several installations on different systems with different versions of the game. None worked. Every time after 20 or 30 or whatever hours it just crashed and ended the fun. So, maybe I'm just the most stupid gamer on the face of the earth or this software is really broken. Good game, but the code quality is rubbish.

With TTW it's perfection

I tried to play Fallout 3 a dozen times since it came out, but just like Skyrim, it felt empty and emotionless so I never really got into it. New Vegas is one of my most favourite games of all time though so I decided to try and play Fallout 3 with TTW mod and let me tell you, I enjoy it as much as I enjoy Fallout New Vegas. If you can, that is the way to play it in 2023.

no longer works 2024

as of the time of writing this review (Oct 2024), fallout 3 no longer boots on a windows 10 device, removing the sole reason to get this on GOG. Please note all the happy reviews are now half a decade old at best. I have fond memories of this game, but an unworking product receives an according score.

STILL CRASHES!!!!

Despite what people are saying this game still crashes the same as the Steam version. It's not DRM that keeps it from crashing. It's the lack of support for a 64bit OS. The only way to fix this is to patch the .exe file.
