Fallout 3

"Hey, what's up Wastelanders? This is Three Dog *howl* and you're reading "The Rating of The Games". How's everybody doing?" Anyway, today I'm reviewing Fallout 3, one of my favorite RPGs and probably my favorite FPS RPG. One can say this isn't going to be a fair reviewing because I love the game so maybe I will give it a great score no matter what. Well I'm going to try to avoid that.
So Fallout is a apocalyptic game series where a company named Vault tec. realizes that the world is going to be destroyed my nukes, so right before everything goes to hell they make vaults to house people and protect them from certain annihilation and radiation from these fallen nukes. In this game, you grow up in a vault with your father alone, because your mother died giving birth to you. So you and Dad (voiced by Liam Neeson) seem to be living peachy keen and one day you wake up and your father is gone. You escape the vault to look for him and ask him why he left, and why he made him stay behind. That's all I'm going to say about the storyline. Now go buy this game and play it yourself!
So this game has a lot of good and fun going for it but its not flawless which makes sense because it's published by Bethesda, and we all know how buggy those games are. This game has great side quests and some really dark elements that I love, elements such as in the DLC The Pitt you are working with slaves to free them and stop the people controlling them. The way to do this with good karma you have to kidnap a baby, yeah, a baby, to be good, the guy you give the baby to says "to get anything done these days you have to get your hands dirty. The baby lives and is fine in the end, but its still pretty disturbing. The side quests usually have a better storyline then the main questline, which is pretty disappointing but seems to happen in ever Bethesda game for one reason or another. Another thing this game has just like every other Bethesda game is many open world glitches, such as sometimes you will see flying bodies with their limbs going everywhere, and occasionally for me it freezes on loading or saving times, which means you might have to redo things a bit. The voice acting could use some work, besides main characters every important character has a nice voice, but normal people you will hear alot of the same voice, I'm not expecting everyone to have a different voice, but at least one voice for like, two people, the same thing happens in Skyrim sadly. Fallout has ok AI sometimes weird things will happen, like one time I was taking someone somewhere and lost them, because they ran away in fear for no reason. One thing that I really like about this game is it's gameplay, I like how Bethesda put V.A.T.S. in from the old games, also I love looting dumb stuff that won't do anything for me, but it's nice how many things i can interact with and grab for no reason. Also the weapons and armor are amazing and creative, When you do the Operation: Anchorage DLC you get Chinese Stealth Armor which gives you 15 more in the sneak skill, and invisible when you crouch. So it's soooooooooooo awesome.
Anyway all in all I would give this game a 8/10 awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeahhhhhhhhhhh

  1. you forgot to mention that if you make your character black, your dad will also be black, thus the game will have a black guy voiced by liam neeson.

  3. If you make your Character any color, like blue, or red, or yellow your father is that color, and we could all use some stealth armor.
