![]() ![]() ![]() In the first two games you end up having a great impact on the rest of the wasteland, eradicating the Super Mutant threat or the Enclave in Fallout and Fallout 2 respectively.įallout 3 main quest ends up being a lazy compilation of all these objectives from the previous games and seems pointless. Having a personal goal in a Fallout game was a strange choice. The original Fallout sent you on a quest to find a replacement controller chip for your vault’s water purifier and Fallout 2 had you finding a Garden of Eden Creation kit to save your tribal village from a severe drought.īoth are for the benefit of many, where Fallout 3’s main quest is personal. exe has stopped working” every hour or so. Unfortunately even 5 years post release, the game is still full of potentially game breaking bugs, even after being blatantly dumbed down for the 360 and PS3.Īnd the PC version isn’t much better either, unless you’re running Window Vista then get used to reading “fallout3. Attributes (Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck) have been almost completely trivialized, doing little outside of increasing the base number for your skills.Īnd the availability of the perk “Intense Training” only further trivialises the allocation of attribute points. Meaning by the time you reach the default cap of level 20, you’ll be nigh unstoppable. Skills have been reworked so that “Tagging” a skill only increased its base by 15 points, no longer increasing the rate the skill increases during point distribution on level ups.Īlso, perks are now gained upon every level up as opposed to every third. Your weapon skill determines your accuracy and damage dealt (this also applies to guns, even though that’s not how guns work) and your number of Hit Points is derived by your Endurance. On the surface it’s not really a bad thing, combat is more complex than TES but (much) less so than previous Fallouts. Bows replaced by guns, skills reworked, etc. Gameplay is familiar it plays as if it’s “The Elder Scrolls IV. Once you been through one, you’ve been through them all.Īnd to make matters even worse, exploration in the game in more chore than challenge as enemy levels are scaled with the player, meaning as long as you’re decently equipped and not caught off guard, you’ll breeze right through anything. On top of that, there is almost no variation in the caves, buildings or those goddamned metro tunnels. Locations are randomly placed and most of them bear little or no significance at all. Despite being pleasing the look at the game world is very badly designed. Right from leaving the Vault you can see that the game is very good looking with a nice aesthetic style, too bad it’s ruined by that horrendous green tint. Fallout 3 is an attempt at bringing Fallout to the “modern gamer” and it’s one of the few things Bethesda did right. Not “valuable” to the series and what made it so great, but valuable in terms of measurable monetary value. When developing Fallout 3, Bethesda only kept what was valuable to Fallout. Have you ever been a long-time fan of something, gotten really excited when you heard it was coming back, only to be massively disappointed with the result- Fallout 3 had this effect on many fans of the Fallout series, myself included. ![]() Google for any advice on MODS, and GOTY has selected ones so you can start right away if you choose. The power suit is available early on and a few can be found just waiting to be claimed – though the fusion cores to power it aren’t prolific.īuilding settlements can be a bit samey, so I try to use different materials and layouts, colour themes, etc but what works is usually repeated. I’ve not used a chemistry station yet, as everything can be found in the world. This is a fighting and building game and not only do you follow quests, you can upgrade weapons, armour and craft chemical based ‘potions’, throwables and mines. I have come across the series quite late as I’ve been busy with other titles, and I can’t see that I’ll be done with this one and trying Fallout 3 before the end of the year. Don’t expect to be done with the game in 30 hours, this is more like 30 weeks. Bethesda allow MODS for their games, which blows them wide open play without, then add a MOD or two for a second play through. ![]()
