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.

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.
I guess it's human nature to jump on bandwagons. Somehow it has become cool to hate on Fallout 3. If this unwarranted hate were to cause you to miss playing this masterpiece that would be a real loss. This is a fantastic game, one of my all time favorites. The locations, characters, plot and presentation are all some of the best ever done in any game that I have played. I am not a fan-boy, I am just a fan of great games. This is one of them.
After playing the first two Fallout games, I've never quite understood why Fallout 3 is often regarded not only as one of the best Fallout games but also as one of the greatest RPG's of all time. Perhaps it's because it was the first Fallout game designed for more casual players. However, almost everything in Fallout 3 seems inferior compared to its predecessors, aside from the ability to play in first-person perspective and the elimination of turn-based combat.
One of the main issues with Fallout 3 is its abysmal story. It feels like something written by a child - a literal joke. The world itself is portrayed as a dead wasteland devoid of any signs of life, except for one area that I won't spoil here. It seems like nobody in Fallout 3 knows how to build a civilization. Instead of rebuilding houses, they opt to construct ugly metal huts that realistically won't stop any bullets.. By contrast, in Fallout 1 & 2, there's a sense of actual civilization, and plant life is vibrant and plentiful.
It's evident that Bethesda didn't pay much attention to the lore established in previous titles and instead created their own. The presence of mutants in the DC area makes little sense, yet there's an entire army of them, not to mention the behemoths. In Fallout 1-2, mutants fit into the narrative, but here, they don't. The Enclave, one of the coolest villainous organizations in the Fallout universe, are depicted as morons in this one. It's baffling that with a high enough intelligence level, you can convince them to essentially self-destruct. This is just one example of how the story falls short; there are numerous others. And of course, it wouldn't be a Bethesda game without bugs—and there are plenty of them in Fallout 3.
The graphics, while passable for its time, don't hold up well by today's standards. However, I do like the implementation of fast travel and the amount of content, including DLC's. If you're aiming for 100% completion, be prepared to invest a lot of hours.
It fails as part of Fallout series, it fails as action game, it fails as Bethesda openworld (~10 weapons of each type, incredibly poor loot options), it fails at all about storyline and worldbuilding. Just ignore it.
Because of some stupid "games for windows live" requirement, I cannot get this game to run. I have various solutions including mods but it simply will not run. Best avoided.
