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

“Sorry guys, I’m russian and it’s hard for me to write in English =)
Моя первая open-world игра. Ожидания были просто выше потолка, несмотря на то, что в первые две части Fallout я не играла и не буду, поклонницей серии совсем не являюсь и все такое.
В основном ожидания оправдались.
Понравилось:
- Начало игры. Вместо обычного немного нудного вбивания имени/статов/профессии персонажа интерактивно вносим все это постепенно, пока наш персонаж еще младенец, только учащийся ходить. Затем туториал – нашему персонажу 10 лет, и ему приходится поболтать со сверстниками и, если помню правильно, даже подраться. Интересно, логично (персонаж-ребенок взрослеет и учится, игрок учится вместе с ним), и на тот момент ново.
- Открытый мир действительно открытый. Идешь куда хочешь, делаешь что хочешь. И не может так случиться, что ты свернул на полметра с проторенной дорожки и немедленно встретил монстров, которые тебя делают одной левой. Сюда же свобода выбора – можешь быть добряком или злодействовать и вырезать все живое.
- Боевая система. Для любителей просто порубиться – реал-тайм, для любителей продумать тактику и не слишком часто загружаться (это я) – пошаговая боевка. Отлично.
- Возможность собирать оружие из подручных материалов, разбирать роботов, вообще огромное количество способов взаимодействия с внешним миром.
- Роботы. Меня особенно покорили те, что разговаривают без эмоциональной окраски. До сих пор ржу, как вспомню. «От меня не спрячешься. Ты где. Ты где».
Не понравилось:
- Существенный минус один, но настолько весомый, что снизил общую оценку на балл. Скучно! То есть все это отлично играется, пока только начал. Но стремление пройти игру как можно полнее и «чище» быстро сходит на нет. Оригинальных квестов очень мало (навскидку вспомнился только уголок карты, где сохранились живые деревья – там было реально интересно), в основном квесты сводятся к «пойди туда и всех убей» и «пойди принеси». Даже никакого интересного антуража на этой базе нет. Просто иди и убей всю шушеру в старом супермаркете. Просто иди и принеси хреньку. Монстры тоже разнообразием не отличаются. Пейзажи, само собой, тоже – это естественно вытекает из тематики игры, но интереснее от этого не становится. В итоге игра быстро надоедает, игрок быстро забивает на исследование карты, проходит основной квест и закругляется.

“Great game, but I like 1 and 2 a lot more. Changing to first person updates the game to current audiences, giving it wider appeal. Feels a lot like a first person shooter with a nice throw back to with the v.a.t.s system that allows someone not well versed in FPSs a little time to catch their bearings. ”

On top of that, this is such a gorgeous game. Dystopia fans will drool all over it.”

“Fallout 3 is per se a rather nice RPG. OK, it's not cutting edge and the gameplay could be better, but it still looks OK and provides a good amount of fun. The only problem is it's supposed to be a Fallout game. And for that, it lacks the freedom, the humor, the politically incorrect tone of Fallout 2. Sure, you can be a bad guy or a good guy. But it feels limited... Also, the dialogues are too limited. The influence of your stats is minimal. You can create a complete idiot, dialogues wont really change (not as extremely as in Fallout2, heh, "Stupid One"). And you cant be a pornstar... Thats a tragedy in itself compared to Fallout 2, no?
So, all in all a decent RPG, once you forget this is the sequel to Fallout 2.”
