  • 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.

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.

Boring game with fun bugs

+ Combat is fun. + Some of the bugs are really hilarious, like people in the vault having meter-long claws instead of fingers. - Horribly long tutorial with very long cutscenes and dialogs. - Crashed every 30 minutes or so and there was a lot of minor bugs. - Very linear and boring story. - A ton of immortal characters that not only don't need to be immortal but shouldn't be (E.g. there's a town inhabited only by children, and when you come there they don't want to let you in. But since they're all children you cant just kill them cuz they're immortal.). - VATS strikes with melee and unarmed can't be aimed at a specific body part, while shots can. - The map feels pretty empty, there's nothing in towns. - The SPECIAL stats don't really change gameplay very much, with Perception 1 you can still aim in VATS and hit, and shooting manually is exactly the same, - Very combat based, non-combat skills can be useful but you can't really beat the game with them.

My opinion on fallout 3

My friend gifted me this game for free. The first start was good, however, fallout 3 weapon system isn't even good at all, it takes 30 shots with a assault rifle to kill raider. I literally have no ammo everywhere. The hitbox system sometimes doesn't work propely when a bullet hits a enemy. Not only that, but it feels like theres something missing in this game when exploring maps. This isn't a game for me.
