It’s 200 years since nuclear war destroyed the world, and you’re just about to be let out for the first time. Combining a dark sense of humour and the best elements of action and role-playing games, there’s no world left to save in
Fallout 3. You search for your lost father and simply try to survive.
Recruiting allies depends on your reputation and what you can offer them |
This Mad Max-style world is not a pretty one |
Mutants and crazed robots are common enemies |
The targeting system allows you to take your time when combatting attackers |
In the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 3, weapons and clothing have to be custom built. You'll make rocket launchers out of leaf blowers and patch together armour. Help on your journey comes from your trusty dog and a single other computer controlled companion, whom you can recruit and dismiss whenever you like. You best choose wisely, though, because this world is not a friendly one.
Key Features - You’re SPECIAL: Create a unique look for your character, and then train on key skills and define personality traits using the renowned SPECIAL statistics system.
- Pip pip: Fallout 3 is a complicated game, but the all-new PIPBoy 3000 personal computer makes it easy to track quests, examine maps, and receive clues on how to progress.
- VATS amazing: The combat system is called the Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System (VATS) and ensures you don’t need any arcade skills to play.
- Karma chameleon: You’re free to commit crimes and act however you want in the game, but people and factions will remember what you did and treat you accordingly.
- New beginning: Although this is a sequel set 36 years after the original games, it requires no prior knowledge of the previous titles, which are now over a decade old.
