Why Was Fallout 3 A Big Deal?

Fallout 3 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One) was awesome, and it set the standard for many FPS RPGs that came later. What exactly made it great? Let's dive in.

[@RobNoireGaming]

I think one of my fave moments ever as a gamer was in Fallout 3. Got pinned down by a huge group of raiders at these giant satellite dishes. Last guy is on the walkway above me, I'm totally pinned down, less then 10% health, no more health items. Only gun I have left is a missile launcher with 1 shot left. Step into his line of fire, activate VATS, 4% chance to hit the target. Fire the missile anyways. Direct headshot. The dude explodes into a million pieces and I win the fight. I still to this day remember that, it was freaking epic as hell.

[@fredhurst2528]

[@edmundwells9080]

FO3 definitely had the most "apocalyptic" feel of the series. I remember being totally freaked out traveling through the subway tunnels, and was terrified of those snarling, corpse-like ghouls leaping out of the shadows. The ghouls in FO4 look like cookie dough monsters and were a major disappointment to me. As for great moments in FO3, there were so many ... but I think the greatest was when I first emerged in central DC to see the broken Washington Monument across the plaza. The destruction of DC and its iconic landmarks really made me feel like I was exploring a post-nuclear world. Compare that to FO4, where they chose a small New England setting (lots of barren trees and small houses - yawn). The the sense of nuclear destruction was far less visceral in such a rural setting. And while FO:NV was an excellent game, the sense of devastation and isolation was far less evident; after all, how different does a post-nuclear desert look from a normal desert? FO3 is to this day my favorite game - for the amazing, green-tinged atmosphere and barren isolation. Still gives me chills!

[@DaFro3713]

edmund wells agreed. And I may be looking at it with the thickest rose tinted nostalgia goggles in my house, but there were just so many memories from Fallout 3. Emerging from the vault, entering Megaton for the first time, Tranquility Lane, the terrors in nearly every building/cave system. It nailed atmosphere. And I really want to see 1,2, and 3 brought to modern systems. I mean we have Diablo 3 on modern systems, and Divinity, all of which are old school RPGS that work with controllers.

[@DaFro3713]

ApocalypseOfSpoons I mean hell, I’d even just take a port of three for modern systems (even the Switch) but I wish Bethesda would understand that these games shouldn’t be thrown aside in favor of chasing fads

[@DaFro3713]

ApocalypseOfSpoons oh my god, it’s a damn mess and a half. Nobody asked for a Fallout game like that. One with local Co-op? Absolutely! But this, with one release, Bethesda has seemingly flushed all good will down the drain, and I feel like the older games are just going to get thrown by the wayside.

[@davidbarnett342]

Some of the ghouls in FO4 have like that old skull skelly look to them, but I do see way to many mashed tater looking zombies that ignore their limbs being smashed or severed. I wanted to like 76 but its an empty heartless game and their is no drive to do anything. I would need an army of friends to make it fun and then the servers would probably crash.

The music... oh dear God the music of fallout 3... especially "Dear Hearts and Gentle People" hearing that song reminded me that no matter what happens to people or the world, humanity can continue, there will always be a nice guy, there will always be someone who tries to rebuild, And maybe someday, people with a dream will have a nice house with, "picket fence and rambling road" and that people can always be welcomed into any new group. Fallout 3 was great. Thanks.

Fallout 4 has more quests than fo3 without even taking into account radiant ones or fo4 dlcs wich are several times better than fo3's (I did enjoy killing aliens with their own weapons, but c'mon that wasn't great content).

Me: fallout 3 is my favorite! I love the story abou... Fnv Fans: BETTER STORY, BETTER GAMEPLAY, BETTER ANYTHING... r/fallout in a nutshell

[@mortyjames5897]

From what I've seen, the Fallout 3 haters spend hours harassing strangers on the internet for liking the game. I doubt they have a life outside of the games

[@cq4538r]

Fallout 3 was my first experience with the Fallout series, and I was astounded at the game. I played it at least 15-20 times, and loved it every single time despite palying it the same way almost every time. Then New Vegas came out, and I felt very iffy about it but that's because of my prejudice towards desert maps/areas, I *loathe* desert areas/maps. But I still enjoyed it as much as I did Fallout 3. And then Fallout 4, I was enjoying it when my dad got it for me for my birthday (it released on my birthday) and I'm still playing it to this day. So I feel like I'm a fairly... neutral, or what have you, fan of the series. I don't hate on people for liking 3 or NV more than the other, nor do I hate on people who like 4. I do remain disappointed that so many people are getting as pissed off with Bethesda about Fallout 76, as the Battlefront community was with EA for Battlefront 2 and the microtransactions fiasco. I can agree with you two however, I see a LOT of people just shitting all over the people who are fans of the other games in the series because the game they aren't a fan of, is the same one the shitter is a fan of.

[@myopiniongoodyouropinionbad]

I've never valued the opinions of people on the internet. I think I like New Vegas and Fallout 3 equally but for different reasons. Fallout 3 has a better aesthetic and a better open world in my opinion. I actually really like the stories in both of the games

[@kittyluvr]

Both Fallout 3 and NV are the best RPG at it's time, and still now

[@theskulldestroyer5026]

I like New Vegas better than 3 but its still a great game with some stuff actually 3 got better than New Vegas

[@dragonborn5832]

Max, you one of the only few people in the comments with a clear mind, NV was better and innovative than 3 and 4 and that is what made the game monumental. Without 3 we would have never get NV.

[@BURNEVERY1]

So right how boring and orange and how it had nothing .. oh yeah Nv was sooo great

[@sushix827]

New Vegas took what 3 did and improved on it.

[@ballslol]

Max Belford, I agree, but I just love the environment of FO3. I have never really enjoyed playing in a cowboy themed nuclear wasteland like in NV, so that is the only reason I prefer 3

[@Aerynolae]

NV is pretty much how 3 should have been and what 4 should have improved upon.

[@averyaustin1]

My first Fallout was 3, and to be honest, the sense of adventure, discovery, and the music drew me in and made me a fan. I'll admit, there's somethings that it did better than 4, and New Vegas definitely feels richer in its story, but, i still play 3 to this day and have a blast no matter what. That's my own opinion.... good day...

On the other hand, I finished Fallout 3 and the DLC about a year ago and replaying it seems pointless. I feel exhausted just thinking about it. I finished New Vegas shortly afterwards and I'm excited about replaying it again, choosing a different path.

My favorite part of Fallout 3 was actually one of it's DLCS: Point Lookout is something that I remember fondly. It was spooky, but interesting. I also liked the Pitt! But from the base game? All of the metro tunnels. It was the main way to get to places, and no other game I've ever played after has utilized it with the same feel at all.

Fallout 3 really deserved it's many awards and universal critical acclaim, it changed gaming in so many ways from roleplay, story to world design and so on. It was the first Fallout game I encountered and it sucked me into the wasteland. Fabulous experience

[@Shadowx011]

I recently pulled out my XBox 360 and loaded this game up on it...oh my God the graphics look so horrible everything is just so mushy looking and overall just horrible looking. The reason I am saying this is because during the 100's of hours I put into this game years back I thought the game was absolutely gorgeous. It is truly amazing how playing newer games on newer consoles especially the Xbox One X will make these games that looked so fresh now look horrible. I ask myself how I used to think these graphics were awesome? Well...upgrading graphics through the years will change the way one used to see older graphics. It just amazes me how much ones perception can change.

[@geneia1407]

My favorite part of 3 was traveling out of the vault and turning on the radio for the first time. I had never played a fallout game before 3 and was pleasantly surprised to hear people commentating over the radio. This made me want to play the game. I love fallout new vegas' aesthetic and feel but I just couldn't get into it. I felt like I didn't have a reason to leave goodsprings. I also didn't like the town of goodsprings because every single house felt the same and it didn't make me want to explore. I believe fallout 3 has a much better storyline

[@KrunchyFiveNumbers]

Sam Kornfan i killed mine with godmode lol

[@Thagomizer]

My favorite thing I did in Fallout 3 was reverse pick-pocketing raider painspike armor onto Moira Brown. I saw no results at first, then left Megaton and completed one of the DLCs. When I came back, I'd completely forgotten I'd given it to her at all, because she was wearing it! Now as for my favorite things I did in Fallout 2: I assassinated Mr. Wright by giving his kid a gun, I dug up a poor drunk ghoul in the Golgotha graveyard, I became a porn star, had a shotgun wedding in Modoc, got my car stolen, got the car back (by sleeping with the chop shop dude), got sick from eating Brahmin testicles, left a poor dude stranded in a well, became a boxer, murdered the shit out of the Mordinos, the Salvatores, and the Bishops, slept with Mrs. Bishop and got her pregnant, prank-called the Enclave, encountered the bridgekeeper from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, freed the slaves in the Den, grew a sixth toe, surgically removed it, became captain of the guard in Vault City by sucking up to Lynette, assassinated Big Jesus Mordino by giving him Nuka Cola, got a divorce in New Reno, got all of my friends laid, helped make peace between Vault City and Gecko, Smoothed out relations between NCR and Vault 15, helped a restless spirit move on, healed a brahmin with a wounded leg, sold that brahmin to a butcher and then stole her back again, donated sperm to Vault City, got raped by a super mutant when I lost an arm wrestling duel with him, befriended talking deathclaws, played chess with an intelligent scorpion, put my friend's brains into a robot, and drove across the wasteland in the only functional car available, with five other people in tow.

F3 had an amazing story and feels to it, NV just puts you out like that on an empty boring world with no introduction to the game, theres a reason why F3 is hugely regognized with GOTY awards and best of prev gen games, heck you called NV and RPG was the first Fallout game that introduced ADS, fuck that ruined so much more

[@wendyvinshlikapoltz8211]

My favorite fallout memories, heck my favorite gaming memories are from my first play through of this when I was 10. That first moment when you leave the vault to the first time I went in the metro tunnels and saw a feral ghoul, that really scared me as a kid it took me like a month to build the courage to go down there

[@wendyvinshlikapoltz8211]

I am new to fallout how the hell does looting work, take everyone's armour or clothes and sell it?

[@BoondockRoberts]

Fallout 3 was a fun game but it railroaded you into a plotline, Had immortal unkillable plot protected NPC's. A useless karma system and a setting that made it look like the bombs were 20 years ago and not 200. The cap system made no sense as a barter system would apply to the economics more (trade food for ammo) and virtually every mission demanded a violent solution. New Vegas was superior in everything except some early bugs and engine stability.

[@lukeduran12]

BoondockRoberts I personally prefer urban environments. Slap fnv style onto f3 and it would fly off the shelves. Or at the very least off the shelves and into my computer

[@The_DC_Kid]

But in FNV you just stagger around in the rads and heat and dust and glaring sun and the sand gets in your shoes and underwear and then it makes you get all chafed and bitchy and you get a headache from squinting all day cuz the ncr won't buy decent armor, let alone sunglasses, and so you have to go to that atomic blast test site and get one up in the viewing area but the place is thick with reavers and rads, and the legion hunting parties are just too numerous and so tough that your armor and body CONSTANTLY require tending, and don't get me started on the friggin' swarms of CAZADORES, and there are no GOOD forest transformation overhauls so you're stuck with all that dry, thirsty, injured misery. Even the DLCs were like that. And as I recall, the last time I played NV there WAS, indeed, some amount of violence required to accomplish quests (or just to travel a mile across the Great Rad-Dust-Heat-Thirst Desert).

[@Bronzescorpion]

The karma system was better in 3 than NV because the faction reputation overshadowed karma in NV making it not worth anything. In 3 it actually mattered somewhat.

[@ccringee9094]

no it actually didnt. remember the option to FUCKING NUKE MEGATON WHICH HELD LIKE 4 STORY IMPORTANT CHARACTERS LEADING YOU TO THE NEXT LOCATION

[@chaytonlindsey2362]

The karma system was very useful. Characters like Three Dog and the regulators would shame you, and sometimes regulators or talon mercs would hunt you down for how well known you were. The caps system makes sense. It's a way to have everything have a well known value in cities, you wouldn't get ripped off or have to scavenge because you want this one cool jumpsuit in rivet city. Not every mission demanded violence. In megaton you could disarm a nuke that would wipe out dozens of people, in cadbury commons you could peacefully solve the situation by talking it out with evidence and speech. Violent situations are just the easier ones, if you just chose the easy path in the game i doubt you truly experienced the game and i would go farther to say didn't even do a good amount of the side quests in the game. Fallout 3 had plenty of issues sure but it wasn't a terrible game like you're making it out to be. p.s. You mention unkillable characters. Would you prefer killing your dad then just getting the credits or he goes unconscious?

[@elysemcclure148]

As a kid, I loved that the main mission was to find my dad. It was compelling but not so urgent that you felt guilty for wandering off, unlike the search for your child in Fallout 4. I loved that we started out as a vault dweller. Everything was as new to my character as it was to me. I could be myself. My favorite moment was seeing a raider in the distance just after stepping out into the wastes for the first time. "A person! Out here?! Maybe he's friendly!" *Gunfire*. I never felt so insulted ;P

[@pyromaniac000000]

Ive been replaying Fallout New Vegas recently, couldn't have made this at a better time. Fallout and Elder Scrolls are the two greatest game series of all time. Bethesda makes great games. Best moment from Fallout 3 is hard...been quite a while...been so long I dont remember anything too specific. I so remember discovering an exploit/glitch in the character creation with the sliders. Usually setting one slider in one direction forces another slider to move too, and by switching between them forcing them the opposite way, you can make really weird characters. Made a smurf with a forehead to rival Jacksfilms. Good times!

who wants to play a shit old isometric 90s game

[@blackxfoxx9815]

Oh wow it's you back from the shallow hole you came from, why does anything I say have to do with you and I don't have to cry because nothing upsets me only if someone in my family died or I got hurt real bad besides the point I don't care what you have to say. I'm actually laughing because Interplay and black isles don't exist anymore and most of the people that made New vegas and were ex Black isle actually left Obsidian so if Obsidian were given a chance to make another Fallout they would not know what to do alot left and i'm happy for the future now because I heard Zenimax online are making a Fallout online to just rub it in the old veteran fans. Bethesda do have a bright future after all no need to cry to people who repeat their comments over hundred times are you a robot or something because normal people say different words and also you have loads of accounts that say the same words at first i thought there was loads of people but now I think there all you.

[@lukeduran12]

Thagomizer the bar for story. Cause if we're looking factually turn based strategy games were falling off the market fast and until the rise of indie games Hope was near lost on many if any turn based games surviving from the 2006-12 period. Story wise I will give you fallout 2 out done any future games but part of the reason was a main focus was on story, it was above all else a role playing game. And you can't role play without a story.

[@Thagomizer]

"When I was a little tyke I had a toy called "Rock-em-Sock-em Robots". It was WAY BETTER than actual boxing." If you say so. I'm not being sarcastic, either. I have no idea what the criteria for 'better' in this case would be. I have glasses and long hair, myself, so I have little difficulty imagining I'd enjoy a toy robot more than a boxing glove to the face. "When you say "presentation" in your comparison to F3, is it because F3 is an immersive game which the player seemingly enters into and is then surrounded by it?" I meant the graphical presentation was detailed and atmospheric. I will give it that. But I certainly don't consider Fallout 3 to be a more immersive experience than Fallout 1 and 2 in terms of story content, world-building, and actual role-playing depth. If this is what matters to me in an RPG, then Fallout 1 and 2 are leaps and bounds better than Fallout 3. "I've never played the first 2 games but I have seen gameplay." In other words, you have no idea what you're talking about. Like I said in my first post.

[@Thagomizer]

"When you claimed that the bar was set by those games you defend, you were correct, but you failed to take into account that the bar is made to be surpassed." Indeed. And Fallout 3 does not surpass the bar set by Fallout 1 and 2. New Vegas, on the other hand, easily meets that bar. "Fallout 4 is now "the bar", but it WILL BE surpassed." Surpassed how? By whatever Fallout 76 does? It looks like it's going to be a different kind of game all together, but set in the Fallout universe. Now, I like Fallout 4 myself, but I accept that it's a different beast entirely, for good and ill. It took the series in a few directions I'd rather it didn't, but it did what it did well. I certainly don't think it's better as an RPG than Fallout 2 or Fallout: New Vegas. "By the way, Pong actually and truly was state-of-the-art video gaming and it was the bar, but not many persons today have even played it (so how could they possibly know if it's good or not?)" But how many games made today are actually trying to do what Pong did? I'm not in the market for badminton or tennis style games, but maybe there are a few. It just seems a mite inappropriate to compare Pong to anything other than, say, Super Breakout, or perhaps some of those other Atari 2600 titles that made use of the paddle. "A jumper or vaulter today is fully aware that shorter heights from years past used to be the bar to beat, but they don't claim those heights are unsurpassable or insist they are somehow "better" (?)" I didn't say they were unsurpassable. I said that Fallout 3 didn't surpass them. I don't know why this is hard to understand. Are in-game graphics your only rubric? They aren't mine. Fallout New Vegas, on the other hand, was the game that Fallout 3 should have been. You can at least make the case that it's better than Fallout 2. "and if they disagree then they are Bugthestards (what is that, anyway?)" I'm assuming that's a derogatory term to refer to Bethesda fans, in reference to how buggy their games are. But I've never called anyone that. It's a stupid insult, and I'm not interested in insulting anyone.
