An ok reboot of the series even though the freedom you have as a player is limited and the ending is retarded its worth playing nevertheless it transfers the atmosphere and the environment perfectly from the originals and the story is kind of fun the dlcs are ok but it crashed in my system even more than new vegas
tbh what i like from this game is that theres always battles in the wasteland and how the NPCs talk to each other
I liked Fallout 3. but after thinking, I have some issues with it. Honestly, it is an entertaining game. The world is expansive and the story is interesting. It's questlines are many and extensive. And the game runs well on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The bleak and depressing wasteland is well executed. The big problem that I have with Fallout 3 is that it's trying too hard for what it is. It is too ambitious for the first third-person open world Fallout game. When you add the DLC into the equation, it tends to feel half-baked, where there's more and more than it actually needs to be a quality title. I see it like an otherwise 'good' album with too many tracks than is actually necessary, DLC added or not. Operation Anchorage is okay, but boring. Two themes I found in the DLC: They're kind of boring in that you walk around and shoot things, but the items you find are great for early-game troubles. The Pitt has a Mad Max-like premise, and could be the one I vouch for the most based on gameplay. Broken Steel is just the Brotherhood being up their own asses like usual, just like the Enclave they fight against. Point Lookout lends better to storytelling, but it plays like Left 4 Dead. By god, I hated Mothership Zeta. Just, why? This was the glitchiest, blandest, and most annoying part of a game I have probably ever played. Neat concept maybe, but was this needed in a Fallout game? That DLC feels like a video game that a person in The Sims would play. And I'm beating a dead horse, but it crashes A LOT. This is one of the buggiest video games I have sat through! When it glitches out, it's nothing fun either, it just stops. Putting 50 hours into a game when it crashes every 20 minutes is grueling. At the very least, Oblivion breaks in amusing ways. I also had several moments when quests would become stuck, for one reason or another. Frustrating.. I understand that many people regard it as a classic, and might prefer it to the later Fallout titles, but I don't feel the same. I would still recommend it to anyone that's a fan of this genre, if only to play all of the Fallout series. It has it's merits and good moments, but it's bloated without reason, with missing attention to quality in my opinion.

I love every second of the game except the Alien abduction DLC. That sucks. It has no cennection to the rest of the game and no guidelines. Just running around aimlessly og wasting ammunition.
First things first, the game engine is a broken mess due to not being patched properly in a long time. Same memory leak issue as Fallout: NV so some mods are recommended. Still, looking past all the issues, it's hands down one of the best games ever made. I can highly recommend this to everyone, even in 2026. The world is massive and immersive, so much variation between some of the quests it makes you wonder if you're still playing the same game. Some may not like the gun mechanics, but I actually prefer it over something like Fallout 4 since it doesn't feel so rushed and kinda let's you take your time. The main storyline is a bit short and quite linear though, but it's the side content and the world that makes this equal to New Vegas in my eyes.
