DESCRIPTION

A nuclear holocaust has turned Washington, DC, into a radioactive wasteland. Mutant creatures freely roam the land while a select few survivors live safely within underground shelters engineered by the Vault-Tec Corporation. Your uneventful life inside the vault takes a dramatic turn when your father mysteriously disappears. Looking for answers, you begin a journey into the great unknown — a test of survival in an inhospitable environment. Based on the acclaimed post-apocalyptic role-playing series from former publisher Interplay, Fallout 3 features a wide-open world viewed from a choice of first- or third-person perspectives.

Developed by the team behind the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and featuring the same graphics engine, Fallout 3 has you embarking on an assortment of quests while exploring, scavenging, and battling for your continued existence. Scrap-metal cities and rusted shantytowns are sources of human contact, but in between them lurk a number of hostile threats. The real-time combat is modeled after shooting games, albeit with the option to pause time for more precise shots using V.A.T.S. (the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System). V.A.T.S. lets you pinpoint vulnerability areas with the help of percentage markers displayed on each body part. The higher the percentage, the likelier you are to hit the highlighted area.

Aiming at a particular body part can cripple it, affecting the enemy's ability to use an arm or leg in combat, while critical hits result in graphic displays of dismemberment. Defeating enemies earns you experience points to enhance your character's stats and acquire abilities called "perks," or specific talents in a chosen area of expertise. Fallout 3 also features some camaraderie in the form of a loyal canine named Dogmeat and a non-player character of your choosing. A licensed soundtrack with songs from the '40s and '50s helps set the mood, offering such hits as "Way Back Home," "Anything Goes," "Butcher Pete," and "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire." ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Is this a mod or expansion? ”

n3rd was the last to comment - 7 days ago...

“My game is heavily modded.. The deatchclaw itself comes from MMM (Martigens Mutant Mod). fallout3nexus.com for moar infoes ;P”

“Reminds me of a lot of my battles in Planeshift, but you left out the fourth step "Pray your faster than it is."”

TheTot was the last to comment - 7 days ago...

“I know that one of the DLC's increase the level cap, but surely there's got to be a PC mod that came out way before that which increased the cap right? That game's level cap was a JOKE.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - 7 days ago...

“@TheTot You can increase the level cap without a mod, it's a console command. I did it myself, once I hit 20, I just made myself 19 again, and just did it over and over every time I hit 20, you keep all the skills you get too, it just makes you 19 again.”

TheTot was the last to comment - 7 days ago...

“Mmm, not quite the same. Had you actually gone past level 20, leveling up would be harder and the monsters would get harder. keep going back to 19, you still need the same amount of exp and the monsters remain the same while you technically get better and better. Plus, I'm vain, and I like big numbers. =P”

“@EarthboundX That would be a very handy trick for stacking Perks. Afterwards, you can get Broken Steel and use that same trick to gain all of the perks for that too...”

“@TheTot Well I don't have any of the DLC, so 20 was the cap the last time I played Fo3, I'll be getting the GOTY edition soon enough.”

dowekeller was the last to comment - 7 days ago...

“Well, if this were an MMO you could have done what people always seem to do to my characters, get it REALY angry, then kite it over to where I'm minding my own business.”

“@dowekeller Hey! That's not the right way to do grief counseling!”

dowekeller was the last to comment - 7 days ago...

“@LordXenophon, Oh, um sorry! @n3rd, sorry for you character getting totally raped by the baddie. Does Fallout 3 support multiplayer? If so, next time you should invite some friends you can throw under the bus, um deathclaw matriarch, when that happens. Friendship is important.”

dowekeller was the last to comment - 7 days ago...

“@LordXenophon, how was that, I apologized twice, and left with a positive message about the value of friendship. I should totally write greeting cards.”

LordXenophon was the last to comment - 7 days ago...

“You forgot to work in grenade spamming, teabagging and rage quitting, and you're supposed to mention that these things are all bad. Remeber, you want less monsters herded your way, not more. Unless it's a monster on your quest list, of course.”

Dr-Madness was the last to comment - 6 days ago...

“I think the most important question here is what type of grenade did you use? I don't use anything weaker than Nuka on nasties than can kill me if I'm not serious about fighting them. Hell, I don't even use Grenades on any Super Mutant stronger than the base unless I have Sneak Critical.”

n3rd was the last to comment - 6 days ago...

“@dowekeller no, I have to get my ass kicked alone. @Dr-Madness That actually was a Nuka, that's why there's fire. ”

LordXenophon was the last to comment - 6 days ago...

“I think this would be a good time for a web grenade, if this game has them, because you're going to need the head start.”

n3rd was the last to comment - 6 days ago...

“Actually, these deathclaw matriarchs leap at you nowadays... If i get a good screen of such a leap, i'll post it here. Looks pretty awesome :D”

“I've never seen a game where you can leap under the restraint of a web grenade.”

Dr-Madness was the last to comment - 6 days ago...

“@n3rd Please tell me you didn't have Sneak Critical and only do that tiny amount of damage...”

n3rd was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“@LordXenophon There are no Web Grenades :/ @Dr-Madness No sneaking involved, and the grenade didn't hit really good. I just made the screen because it looked pretty good ^^”

LordXenophon was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“Glue grenades? Caltrops? Anything to slow him down at all?”

BUT! to lame for me :D”

Svoboda was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“I don't play this game, but I would imagine you probaby get the Deathclaw Gauntlet from Deathclaw, so how do you propose to do this? Wrestle Deathclaw and use his gaunlet against him while he's still wearing it? ”

warmonger14 was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“Well, friend. I would have to say that you are screwed. RUN LIKE HELL! That's my advice. This is coming from a "Tactical Expert". Oh, dont forget, don't get lost in those sewers. They know them better than you. =)”

“Did you at least bring a hunting partner? You don't have to outrun Deathclaw. You just have to outrun your hunting partner.”

n3rd was the last to comment - 4 days ago...

“@LordXenophon oh come on, I don't use crippling so I bring a partner? No way, I DIE ALONE! WAHAHAHA! @warmonger14 Actually I managed to kick it's ass.. but only because I was BigGuns/Explosives. And those seweres were damn creepy :P”

Dr-Madness was the last to comment - 4 days ago...

“@Svoboda You have to kill a Deathclaw, take its hand, and fashion it together with other components to create the Deathclaw Gauntlet... but I can see how you'd think the Deathclaw drops it, that's classic RPG/MMORPG logic.”

“yes it is although the time-line is a load of crap and it's breaking many of the world laws but ya it's a good game that manages to provide good mods and modability along with a nicely apocalyptic story that mirrors many of the good ones in circulation.”

“@pyrokitsune777 Not sure what you mean by the time line being a load of crap. and what laws did it break?”

pyrokitsune777 was the last to comment - 29 days ago...

“the Fallout series is built based on 50s-60s era science as far as radiation and such are concerned. current scientific principles state that technically there shouldn't really be any residual radiation in certain areas of the game other than areas that have been tainted by the drum barrels. Also citing the History Channel's Life after people series most of the buildings should be piles of rubble and overgrown with vegetation. but all in all you are right it's a good game and there are mods that fix most of that. plus i just went through and changed all the dates so that it was closer to the events of the great war. ”

“@pyrokitsune777 Sounds like you really know your lore. I envy that.”

pyrokitsune777 was the last to comment - 27 days ago...

“The fallout universe is fairly solid given what it is albeit outdated in terms of scientific background but Fallout 3 does manage to erect the appropriate atmosphere and even curve the "error" by giving a more reasonable world and a fairly expansive sandbox. personally good games, in my opinion are ones that motivate me to delve deeper into their world even if i end up dredging up some laughable inconsistencies.”

Fallout2Forever was the last to comment - 26 days ago...

“@pyrokitsune777 To be honest, I'm not that big of a fan of the storyline in Fallout 2. Well, it's got a good intro and all, but once the game actually starts, most of the game's storyline doesn't really big. I do like most of all the written dialogue however.”
