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

“This game is just short of perfect, and probably my favorite game. It's just a really great game for RPG fans who'd like to forgo the swords and sorcery for a change. Great story, great characters, a great deal of character customization, and free choice give it solid replay value. Though iron sights would have been nice. VATS gets kinda boring after awhile. ”

“FODA PRA CARALHO, sempre adorei coisas do pós apocalipse e a bethesda mandou muito, o fato da serie ser bem antiga já trás um puta conteúdo,mais com esse estilo aberto e completamente dependente das suas ações, junto com todo o contexto que eles trouxeram pro fallout fez do jogo um universo submergível, com pessoas,cidades e situações que pra mim beiram o realismo, ótima historia e jogabilidade, me rendeu um belo de um buraco no sofá e alguns dias de gameplay fantástico”

“My first experience with the Fallout series was with Fallout 3. While I'm not normally a fan of Post-apocalyptic games, Fallout really caught my fancy. The story is pretty cool and it kept me busy for a few days, which is saying a lot for me.
Pros: Large open ended game play, decent story and characters, wide range of weapons to use.
Cons: Besides a lack of diversity in landscapes (which makes perfect sense for this game), I don't have much to complain about.”

“This game is a third person shooter in a post-apocalyptic world. Whether you choose to play as an evil character or a benevolent one, the game follows a relatively linear plot. There is a tendency for players to hoard weapons and supplies, as the only limit to inventory is weight. Also, as the game progresses, hardcore gamers might find this game too easy as they collect more powerful weapons/hoard health restoring items.”
