Getting Fallout is on my gaming list but considering the time we live in I saw a female lead for the show and figured it would go as expected. I used to want them to adapt Skyrim into a show or movie. Not anymore
Bethesda treated Fallout like a whore to be fucked, they turned it out and transformed a nuanced, thoughtful RPG with an interesting setting and storyline into a shitty amusement park ride for bugmen.
I had a ton of fun with Fallout 3. I was living outside of DC at the time, so it was nice to see a bunch of landmarks surrounded by radioactive sludge and super mutants.
Fallout 3 is fine and all but its main story is pretty weak. And without getting into spoilers, the ending involves some bullshit because development schedule was so crunched for time that they weren't able to take into account certain companions you might have access to. And originally the player was railroaded into a bullshit ending until the DLC fixed it.
I would recommend playing it before New Vegas.
And some others might be able to clarify but apparently Fallout 3 does not gel well with the lore setup that 1+2 provide. 3 was the first game made by Bethesda after the original developers.
Fallout 3 doesn't make sense. It's an apocalypse story, but it's supposed to be a story about the post-post apocalypse. It's set 200 years after the war, but there's still grocery stores with potable canned goods in them. Fucking what?
It just copies things from the first 2 Fallouts without thinking if they make sense or not. IMO never play it because it's dumb.
Fallout 3 is alright in a vaccuum. If you like Elder Scrolls games, you'll probably like it just fine. It's just not a very good Fallout game, and the story is really weak and nonsensical.
Buy fallout 3 & New Vegas, then download Download A Tale of Two Wastelands.
It basically rectifies all mistakes and bugs between the two, adds some good QoL stuff not originally present, and is probably the best way to play them Vanilla+.

New Vegas is the best I take it
It’s my favorite, but 1&2 are excellent as well.
New Vegas only- New fallout but with the least amount of Bethesda
I keep hearing that. So Fallout 3 isn’t worth it either?

"it's the same image"
And then you played the game?

That ending. Here go suicide... Except we had a (or could have one) robot companion. Or the super mutant too which are cannonically rad immune.
Also, why have a starter button inside a radiation chamber and not outside? thats just so bad.
I wouldn’t tell anyone not to play it, there’s even a mod called A Tale of Two Wastelands that combines it with New Vegas.
I’m replaying it myself right now but playing FO3 so close to NV just highlights how lame it is in comparison.

Thanks!
If there was a Skyrim show you just know they'd make Lydia become the actual Dragonborn after the white male one dies in episode 1.
Shhh dont give them ideas. lol
