albeit pretty dated at this point, at the time, it had one of the most interesting worlds to explore, and still does. if there's one thing Bethesda has mostly done right, it's making fun worlds to explore.
shooting and rpg elements are kind of shart by today's standards, and also, were kind of shart for their time, and the writing is kind of bad, but it's still worth playing if you like this kind of thing

Had problems in the past - but I've seen that there is a up date, my system has 2 terabites and all the updates. this is a old game and I hope my system isn't over the top. I liked playing this game and hope it downloads without any problems - let ya know later on.

i have played fnv first before fo3. But this game is better in term of environment and atmosphere, it feels like world just recover from post nuclear war, as you leave the vault to open-world, you will barely see people on street or abandoned town, mutated animals also rare to show up, and when there plenty of them, you will know that area is infested so better prepare ammo, example subway always full of radroach and ghoul, as if people holed up there before the bomb. It feel sense of progression and exploration that bethesda known for. In fnv town are full of people and mutated insect, while it gameplay-wise better but it makes you feel less immersive of post nuclear world. In fnv the story make you explore the world. Fo3 make you explore the world to discover stories, which is cool, enter random building to discover there people inside make you feel at ease, "wow there actually someone live here". classic bethesda way of immerse the player. but the illusion soon broke because house interior indentical and barely different, but its still impressive considering the year this game cameout. Fnv still goated on story through, because fo3 emphatize on exploration the story just there to give exposition rather than world building.

Fallout 3 was my introduction to the Fallout Franchise, and while it's not the best Fallout game (Fallout 2 has my heart), It is worth the play. Got nothing better to do? Fallout 3 will never let you down. There's always something interesting going on, so take a crack at it, you might like it!

As others have already said this game has some bad issues with crashing/not loading on modern PC hardware. On my desktop I had trouble getting the game to stay open for longer than 10 minutes at a time. BUT if you own a Steam Deck you can still play! I ended up connecting my Deck to a dock with a mouse and keyboard ad have easily put 20+ hours in without issue. Use Proton version 6.3-8 or Proton Experimental and game runs like butter. 60FPS, high settings, 1080p (external monitor) ad have only had maybe one crash. Great game, but they need to do work on the PC version for sure.
