Messy, but immersion makes it worth it
I do have mixed feelings towards Fallout 3, for multiple reasons; I find it quite repetitive, with a lot of time spent crawling through dozens of samey-looking dilapidated ruins (damn DC tunnels...); it often feels like it’s trying too hard to mimic the vibe of the OG Fallout games, nailing it only on occasion; it’s janky in many regards, notably when it comes to the combat - although it’s better than previous FO and Bethesda titles, which is not saying much; and while it’s not the devs’ buggiest, it has enough technical issues to make you wonder if it was coded by orangutans. Of the multiple Bethesda games I’ve played so far, it’s probably my least favorite: it doesn’t have Oblivion’s high-quality quests, or Morrowind’s sense of wonder, or Skyrim’s satisfying gameplay loop… But still, it’s a very good experience. The decision to essentially turn the franchise into a post-apocalyptic version of The Elder Scrolls was a good one, and for all its awkwardness this game has more than enough satisfying elements to keep you hooked. Yes, the gunplay isn’t very good, but pulverizing people in VATS never gets old. Yes, a lot of “dungeons” are here as padding, but much of the open world retains a great sense of wonder and exploration. And yes, the writing isn’t the best in the FO series, but the quests, characters and locations are quirky enough to remain intriguing. In fact, the atmosphere rules: as a proud relic of the “dirty toilet filter” era of gaming (remember when every realistic game had to be covered in gray, brown, teal, or yellow?), FO3 does a stellar job of immersing you in the bizarre, decayed uchronian world that is the trademark of the series. In the end, it is a flawed title and there are better alternatives to it out there, but it’s better than the sum of its parts and has its fans for good reasons. It’s a game of vibes, a game that for all its faults succeeds at putting you in the shoes of a badass wasteland explorer. It’s worth at least a playthrough.
