[@TevyaSmolka]

ooh awesome

[@aidanfedorochko3728]

Fallout 3 has one of the most haunting atmospheres. I love playing it at night or around 3 AM just to get into the feeling of the Metro or the Dark wasteland. Such a classic.

[@DmitreJO]

Is it worth playing? Never played it before

[@aidanfedorochko3728]

@@DmitreJOif you can play Fallout 1, 2, 3, New Vegas and 4.

[@Subject_Keter]

​@@DmitreJO try playing Fallout 1 or 2 first then 3 and New Vegas. 4 gameplay makes the others seem unbearable.

[@villings]

loved its atmosphere

[@LprogressivesANDliberals]

Playing it on my steam deck rn… AMAZING

[@GamingHarryYT]

Forgot to add the Lore & Order jingle... OOPS.

[@Ace-cr9qt]

I love your videos❤

[@imnotgivingyoumyname810]

I might be mistaken but I'm pretty sure they weren't capturing the death claws but engineering them. What you are seeing is the breeding program of super soldiers. What you see in the wild are the natural form of those escaped experiments. If you read into death claw lore they were being made to battle communist...

[@MrKyleMyster]

Are you going to be covering Fallout 1 and 2 as well? or just 3 onwards?

Ahhhh Fallout 3, the game I watched my roommate punch people to death whenever he wasn’t sneaking grenades into their pockets.

[@codranine6054]

@@Lycan_of_1941 yea I think ages ago I rented the 2nd one for a week but it was nothing to write home about. The way the 1st one was played. A fast paced stealth based game. It was intense and literally despite anyone admission or non admission has only been touched by the last of us 1. Cause TLOU 2 movement was way to slow

[@jenh101]

Well, now we have to have New Vegas! I know you’ll make a cracking video out of that one. It’s so great to see how much your channel has grown and developed. I remember not that long ago really, thinking how criminally underrated the Lore and Order videos were. Am genuinely super happy for you. I hope you’re doing well all round and taking the time to enjoy it. Edit: i mean that not in a weird, para-social way, just in a ‘well done fellow Brit, the boy done good’ type of way. 😂

[@wasjosh]

Love how all my favorite youtubers are pushing out Fallout content like crazy - thanks for the content!

[@pommes1340]

I just wanted to thank you, everything I see a new video of you I’m super happy even when I’m not feeling good but your videos always cheer me up.

[@RonaldPickering]

Good video of a classic. The whole franchise is a masterpiece.

[@0o0ooo0o0oo0]

People shit on 76 for good reason, but it's just a fun mmo really

I cannot wait for all of the deep-dives through Fallout. Thanks Harry! GIVE US THE VAULT VID

[@cupguy2555]

Thank you so much gaming harry I was hoping you’d make a story explanation about fallout 3 this is my most favorite in the series so once again thanks.

[@Tenetur]

Man, it's always a joy to see when you upload. Doing a great job with this series. Keep up the great job my dude!

[@Lycan_of_1941]

Yes, thanks for accepting my request. Well done and appreciate it.

[@-Panna-]

Not kidding when I say you have become one of my favorite content creators on KZbin. Always looking forward to your new uploads. Really needed something to help relax today especially, so this will be nice to listen to and watch while playing some games.

[@wowplayer160]

Fallout 3 probably one of my favorite games of all time. 13 year old me probably shouldn't have been playing but it was fun.

[@denis2381]

You should have played Barbie instead weirdo

I wish I could play this game for the first time again.

this is gonna be a fire series for sure

awesome, finally games ive played. I been avoiding games that I plan to play, so I had to skip some videos. been missing watching your retellings

[@prodPavka]

Oh lets go this is just awesome! I presume you will be making videos on the next games too 👀

[@bubbleup6138]

never clicked so fast as when Harry posts a new installment of lore

That Dunwich building and it's whole connection to the Point Lookout DLC thing, it's one of my favorite things ever put into a video game.

I really enjoy these 😊

can’t wait for the rest too!!!!! best video game series on youtube

Love your content man! Keep up the good work! Also hey thanks for the deathclaws earlier. Although I do have some bad news. I lost my left arm to a behemoth but I killed it! And now I have a cybernetic arm! (Arm glitches). It mostly works....

Excellent. A fallout lore snd order, one of many more, it seems. Storytime with Uncle Harry! Tell us again about that time years ago after the war when the person beat the super mutants in the old building, Uncle Harry!

I listen to these SO MUCH, hope its new vegas next :D

[@crypto66]

Fallout 3 was my entry point in the franchise, and probably the first PC game I ever pirated. I genuinely had no concept of the words "open world," "sandbox," and "RPG" used together; and in fact, only understood the latter through the lens of JRPGs. I never finished it for one reason or another, but I always loved the post-apocalyptic aesthetic. I was always struck by the design of the power armor on the cover, but it wasn't until FO4 turned them into wearable tanks that I really got into it.

[@ThePOSM]

Fallout 3 Remaster end of this year ;) Good video!

[@stitchfan08]

Burke killing the sheriff is the canon choice plus I can't wait when u do the fallout 4 video

[@glamrockfreddy568]

Nothing in those sorts of side quests is conformed to be canon.
