.: October 28, 2008.: October 30, 2008Mode(s)Fallout 3 is a developed by and published. The third major installment in the, it is the first game to be created by Bethesda since it bought the franchise from. The game marks a major shift in the series by using and real-time combat, replacing the graphics and turn-based combat of previous installments. It was released worldwide in October 2008 for, and.The game is set within a, environment that encompasses a scaled region consisting of the ruins of and much of the countryside to the north and west of it, referred to as the 'Capital Wasteland'. It takes place within Fallout 's usual setting of a world that deviated into an alternate timeline thanks to atomic age technology, which eventually led to its devastation by a nuclear apocalypse in the year 2077 (referred to as 'The Great War'), caused by a major international conflict between the United States and China over natural resources and the last remaining supplies of untapped. The main story takes place in the year 2277, around 36 years after the events of, of which it is not a direct sequel.

The United States Army was the largest armed force of the United States of America. It is organized under the Department of the Army, responsible for conducting its affairs and regulating its operations. The Department itself is part of three agencies constituting the Department of Defense. Though the civilian government formerly exercised control over the military, the Resource Wars combined. The New California Republic is a sprawling federation of states that take up much of the West Coast. They are major factions in both Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas, providing many quests with potential rewards, as well as a sprawling headquarters to explore.

Players take control of an inhabitant of Vault 101, one of several underground shelters created before the Great War to protect around 1,000 humans from the, who is forced to venture out into the Capital Wasteland to find their father after he disappears from the Vault under mysterious circumstances. They find themselves seeking to complete their father's work while fighting against the Enclave, the corrupt remnants of the former that seeks to use it for their own purposes.Fallout 3 was met with critical acclaim and received a number of Game of the Year awards, praising the game's open-ended gameplay and flexible character-leveling system, and is considered one of the. The estimated that Fallout 3 sold over 610,000 units during its initial month of release in October 2008, performing better than Bethesda's previous game, which sold nearly 500,000 units in its first month. The game received post-launch support, with Bethesda releasing.

The game was met with controversy upon release in Australia, for the use of and the ability to be addicted to alcohol and drugs; in India, for cultural and religious sentiments over the mutated cattle in the game being called '; and in Japan, due to having a weapon called the ', which releases mini nuclear bombs. Contents.Gameplay Unlike previous titles of the series, Fallout 3 is played from the first-person perspective.

The players have the option to switch between this and an 'over-the-shoulder' third-person perspective at any time after the initial stages of the game. While many elements from previous titles are reused, such as the system, and the enemies encountered, major elements in the combat system are changed and new features are introduced, e.g. The new V.A.T.S.

System.Character creation and attributes. The Pip-Boy wrist computer remains a key feature in the series for the character menus.

In Fallout 3, players get to use the Pip-Boy 3000, as shown here.Character creation is done through a tutorial prologue that encompasses the different ages of the player's character, which also covers tutorials on movement, the HUD, combat, interactions with the game world, and the use of the Pip-Boy 3000. The character's creation is done in steps, with the player first setting up their appearance along with what race and gender their character is, and the name they have. Next, they customize their character's via the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. System – Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck – which is retained in Fallout 3, and determines the base level of the Skills the character has. Which three Skills their character focuses on can either be left to the choices they make with a series of question, or by choosing manually what they desire. Character creation is not finalized until the player leaves Vault 101 and enters the Capital Wasteland, allowing players the option to modify their character's appearance, primary attributes and Skill choices if they are not satisfied with their choices.As the character progresses through the game, experience points (XP) are earned from accomplishing various actions, such as completing a quest, killing an enemy, and so forth, with a new level granted upon reaching the necessary amount of XP. A new level grants the player the ability to allocate points to the various Skills available and thus improve upon them, making them more effective; for instance, a higher lock-picking skill allows the player to be able to tackle more difficult locks on doors and containers, while a higher medicine skill increases the amount of health recovered with Stimpaks.

Once the character achieves their second level, they can be granted a Perk, which offers advantages of varying quality and form, such as being able to carry more items, finding more ammo in containers, and having a higher chance to perform a critical hit. Many Perks have a set of prerequisites that need to be satisfied, often requiring a certain Skill level to acquire them, while a new Perk can be granted for every two levels earned by the character. Additional improvements to Skill levels can be made by finding Skill books, which confer a permanent boost to levels, while players can search for and find a series of 20 bobbleheads that confer a bonus to these and primary attributes.An important statistic tracked by the game is, which is affected by the decisions and actions the character performs during the game. Positive actions to Karma include freeing captives and helping others, while negative actions towards this include killing good characters and stealing. Actions vary in the level of karma change they cause; thus, pickpocketing produces less negative karma than the killing of a good character. Karma can have tangible effects to the player, beyond acting as flavor for the game's events, in that it can affect the ending the player gets, alter dialogue with (NPCs) or give off unique reactions from other characters, while also granting access to certain perks that require a specific Karma level. However, the player's relationships with the game's factions are distinct, so any two groups or settlements may view the player in contrasting ways, depending on the player's conduct.

Health, weapons, and apparel A character's health is divided between two types: HP (health points) and Limbs. While HP is the general amount of health that a character and other NPCs have (friendly, neutral or hostile) and which depletes when damage is taken, either from combat, setting off traps, falling from a height or self injury, Limb health is specific to each portion of the body – namely the arms, legs, head, and torso, although non-human enemies feature additional appendages, and robotic enemies feature different types of appendages. Limbs can be damaged in the same way as HP, though once depleted they become 'crippled' and induce a negative status effect, such as blurred vision if the head is crippled, or reduced movement speed if one or both legs are crippled. Both HP and Limbs can be recovered through the use of medical medicine in the form of Stimpaks, as well as sleeping and visiting a doctor, while HP can be slowly recovered by consuming food and drinking water and/or soft drinks. Players can also be affected by other negative health effects, including radiation poisoning and withdrawal symptoms.

While the latter occurs when the player's character becomes addicted to drugs and alcohol and confers negative effects if the player does not continue using them, radiation poisoning occurs when the character absorbs radiation, either by walking through areas with background radiation, and consuming food and drink that is irradiated with a small amount of radiation. The negative impacts of both can affect SPECIAL attributes, and can be treated by a doctor, though radiation can be dealt with by using Rad Away. Furthermore, the amount of background radiation absorbed can be reduced through the use of Rad-X drugs and special apparel, both of which improve resistance to radiation.All weapons and apparel found, regardless of whether they are a makeshift-weapon such as a lead pipe, or a gun, degrade over time the more they are used, and thus become less effective. For firearms, degrading into poor condition causes them to do less damage and possibly jam when reloading, while apparel that reduces damage becomes less protective as it gradually absorbs damage from attacks. When too much damage is taken, the items breaks and cannot be used.

To ensure weapons and apparel are working effectively, such items require constant maintenance and repairs which can be done in one of two ways. The first method is find certain vendors that repair items, though how much they can repair an item depends on their skill level, while the cost of the repairs depends upon the item itself. The second method is for players to find a second of the same item that needs repairs (or a comparable item), and salvaging parts from it for the repair, though how much they can do depends on their character's own skill level in repairs.In addition to finding weaponry, the player can create their own.

To craft such weapons, the player must use a workbench, possess either the necessary or the right Perk, and scavenge for the items needed to make them. These weapons usually possess significant advantages over other weapons of their type.

Each weapon's schematic has three copies that can be found, and possessing additional copies improves the condition (or number) of items produced at the workbench, while a higher repair skill will result in a better starting condition for the related weapon. Weapon schematics can be found lying in certain locations, bought from vendors, or received as quest rewards. System is a new gameplay element for the Fallout series.

As seen here, real-time action is stopped and the player can see both the damage that has been done to a target's limbs and the percentage ratio for attempting to attack that limb.The Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System (V.A.T.S.) is a new element in the Fallout series and plays an important part in combat within Fallout 3. The system was introduced by Bethesda's developers, who described it as a hybrid between and, so much in that while using V.A.T.S., and action is played out from varying camera angles in a computer graphics version of '. Using the system costs action points (AP), the amount of which depends on the weapon being used and thus limiting the actions of the player's combat during a turn. Through the system, the player can switch between multiple targets (if there is more than one around at any time), and also target specific areas of them to inflict damage – a player could either target the head for a quick kill, go for the legs to slow an enemy's movements, or shoot at their weapons to disarm them; for some enemies, they can put them into a rage by hitting specific parts.

The chance of striking a different area, displayed as a percentage ratio, is dependent on the weapon being used, and the distance between the character and the target; a character who is a higher level when using V.A.T.S is also more likely to hit an enemy with the system than a lower level character. The use of V.A.T.S. Does confer a negative effect, in that it eliminates most of the first-person shooter elements of the game; aiming is taken over by the computer, and the player is unable to move as a means of avoiding attacks. Furthermore, ranged weapons are capable of hitting limbs, while melee weapons focus on the target in whole when using V.A.T.S. Companions During their travels across the Wasteland, the player can be accompanied by a single (NPC) companion, who can assist in combat. Which companion can accompany the player depends on who they have encountered that can join them; it is possible to not encounter all depending on how the game is played. Only one companion may travel with the player, and should they wish to take another with them, the first must be dismissed (either voluntarily by the player or as a consequence of other events) or die in combat.

One unique companion the player can have, that can allow a third to join without issue, is a dog named, who can be killed during the game if the player misuses him or places him in a severely dangerous situation; the release of the DLC, makes it possible to replace Dogmeat, provided the player acquires a Perk that grants the opportunity of getting another dog.Plot Setting. The desolate area of the Capital Wasteland, where Fallout 3 takes placeFallout 3 takes place in the year 2277, and within the region that covers most of the ruined city of, and parts of (mostly ). The game's scaled landscape includes war-ravaged variants of numerous real-life landmarks such as the, the and, and the, with a small number of settlements dotted around the Capital Wasteland that consist of descendants of survivors from the Great War, including one that surrounds an unexploded bomb, another consisting primarily of ghoul inhabitants, and another formed within the hulking remains of an aircraft carrier. While the city can be explored, much of the interior zones are cut off by giant rubble over many of the roads leading in, meaning that access can only be achieved by using the city's former underground metro tunnels (loosely based on the real-life ).The region has two major factions within it – the Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel. While the Enclave is similar in goal to their western brethren, the eastern branch of the Brotherhood of Steel seeks to assist the people of the Wasteland, though a small group rejected this and became outcasts who seek to resume their original goal of salvaging high-level technology.

Other factions include former slaves who seek to inspire others for freedom by restoring the Lincoln Memorial, a group that feast on blood, and a group who tend and care for a region of the wastes where plants have become abundant. Story For the first 19 years of their life from 2258 to 2277, the player character grows up within the isolated confines of Vault 101 (designed to never be opened as a social experiment by the pre-war corporation known as Vault-Tec) alongside their father James, a and who assists in the Vault's clinic.

While growing up, their father comments about their deceased mother Catherine and her favorite passage from the Bible – 21:6, which speaks of 'the waters of life'. Upon reaching their 19th birthday, chaos erupts when James suddenly leaves the Vault, causing the Overseer to lock down the Vault and send security guards after James' child. Escaping from the Vault with the aid of the Overseer's daughter Amata, the search for James across the Wasteland begins at the nearby town of Megaton, named for the undetonated at the center of town, and eventually into the ruins of Washington D.C. And the Galaxy News Radio station, whereupon James' child, after helping the station's enthusiastic Three Dog, is given the moniker of 'The Lone Wanderer'. Directed by Three Dog towards Rivet City, a derelict serving as a fortified human settlement, the Lone Wanderer meets with Doctor Madison Li, a scientist who worked alongside James. Li informs the Lone Wanderer that their parents were not born in Vault 101, but lived outside of it, where they worked together upon a plan they conceived to purify all the water in the and eventually the entire, with a giant built in the, called Project Purity. Further information:Fallout 3 was initially under development by, a studio owned by, under the working title.

Black Isle Studios was the developer of the original. When Interplay Entertainment went bankrupt and closed down Black Isle Studios before the game could be completed, the license to develop Fallout 3 was sold for a $1,175,000 minimum guaranteed to, a studio primarily known as the developer of series. Bethesda's Fallout 3, however, was developed from scratch, using neither Van Buren code nor any other materials created by Black Isle Studios. In May 2007, a playable technology demo of the canceled project was released to the public., art director of the original Fallout, when asked about Interplay Entertainment's sale of the rights to Bethesda Softworks, said 'To be perfectly honest, I was extremely disappointed that we did not get the chance to make the next Fallout game. This has nothing to do with Bethesda, it's just that we've always felt that Fallout was ours and it was just a technicality that Interplay happened to own it.

It sort of felt as if our child had been sold to the highest bidder, and we had to just sit by and watch. Since I have absolutely no idea what their plans are, I can't comment on whether I think they're going in the right direction with it or not.' Bethesda Softworks Bethesda Softworks started working on Fallout 3 in July 2004, but principal development did not begin until after and its related extras and plug-ins were completed. Bethesda Softworks made Fallout 3 similar to the previous two games, focusing upon non-linear gameplay, story,. Bethesda pursued an rating of M (for 'mature') by including the adult themes, violence, and depravity characteristic of the Fallout series. They shied away from the self-referential gags of the game's predecessors that broke the illusion that the world of Fallout is real.

Fallout 3 uses a version of the same engine as Oblivion, and was developed by the team responsible for that game. Was cast as the voice of the player's father.In February 2007, Bethesda stated that the game was 'a fairly good ways away' from release but that detailed information and previews would be available later in the year. Following a statement made by Pete Hines that the team wanted to make the game a 'multiple platform title', the game was announced by to be in development for,. According to, the original plan was to recreate entirely in the game, but it was reconstructed by half; this was because a full implementation would require too complicated a job and an excessive long-term development.During a March 21, 2008, podcast interview, revealed that the game had expanded to nearly the same scope as Oblivion.

There were originally at least 12 versions of the final cutscene, but, with further development, this expanded to over 200 possible permutations in the final release, all of which are determined by the actions taken by the player. Bethesda Softworks attended to showcase Fallout 3. The first live demo of the Xbox 360 version of the game was shown and demonstrated by Todd Howard, taking place in downtown Washington, D.C. The demo showcased various weapons such as the Fat Man nuclear catapult, the V.A.T.S. System and the functions of the Pip-Boy 3000 as well as combat with several enemies. The demo concluded as the player neared the Brotherhood of Steel-controlled and was attacked by an Enclave patrol.Howard confirmed that, in addition to thematics about and, there would be the presence of scenes and exposition of evident mutilations on enemies with release of. The inspiration to include scenes with such explicit violence came from the 'crash mode' of the series.

Instead of cars that disintegrated because of the damage, the idea of applying kinematics on bodies who suffered wounds and mutilations due to or beatings., a writer formerly at, was commissioned by Bethesda to write the main script of Fallout 3. He also worked in part to 's script. Pagliarulo took charge of writing the of Fallout 3, then played by, and he tried to be inspired by first 's incipit, in 1997, which he considered vitally important to describe the story that Fallout 3 would have to tell. To succeed in making this script effective, Pagliarulo, had to go in the opposite direction to his previous work on Oblivion, which both for setting and characters, represented an extreme Fallout inverse.The main model to follow, for Pagliarulo, was always the first, which by his own admission had more the peculiarity of synthesis in dialogues, rather than, which had a more complex and articulated screenplay written by, that Pagliarulo defined 'a fantastic writer'. Music and audio The score was composed by, who does not consider himself the only person responsible for the musical work on Fallout 3. Zur cited Todd Howard and the Mark Lambert for helping him to manage the in-game sound implementation, stating he made only 50%.

Zur also said that he conceived the based on what the player would perceive on psychological level, rather than on what the player would see on the screen, so placing the listener musically ahead over the environment in which he or she moves. Apart from a few exceptions, Inon Zur said that the soundtrack of the game was mainly composed using a.Several actors of film and video games lent their voices to Fallout 3, including as James, as the game's narrator, as President John Henry Eden, as Butch DeLoria, Erik Todd Dellums as Three Dog, and as Amata Almodovar. Veteran voice actors, and also provided voice-overs for the game. The Fallout 3 soundtrack continued the series' convention of featuring sentimental 1940s American big band music, including the main theme, and a few other incidental songs recorded by and, as well as other artists like,. Marketing and release Trailers.

Bethesda's Fallout 3 booth at the 2008A teaser site for the game appeared on May 2, 2007, and featured music from the game and concept art, along with a timer that counted down to June 5, 2007. The artists and developers involved later confirmed that the concept art, commissioned before Oblivion had been released, did not reveal anything from the actual game. When the countdown finished, the site hosted the first teaser trailer for the game, and unveiled a release date of 'Fall 2008'.On June 5, 2007, Bethesda released the Fallout 3.

The press kit released with the trailer indicated that Ron Perlman would be on board with the project, and cited a release date of fall 2008. The trailer featured The Ink Spots song ', which the previous Fallout developer Black Isle Studios originally intended to license for use in the first Fallout game.

The trailer, which was completely done with in-engine assets, closed with Ron Perlman saying his trademark line which he also spoke in the original Fallout: 'War. War never changes'. The trailer showed a devastated Washington, D.C., evidenced by the partially damaged Washington Monument in the background as well as the crumbling buildings that surrounded a rubble-choked city thoroughfare.A second trailer was first shown during a E3 special on July 12, 2008. The trailer zoomed out from a ruined house in the Washington, D.C.

Suburbs, and provided a wider view of the capital's skyline including the and Washington Monument in the distance. On July 14, 2008, an extended version of this trailer was made available, which besides the original content, included a Vault-Tec advertisement and actual gameplay. Both versions of the trailer featured the song ' as recorded.

Film festival On July 11, 2008, as a part of promoting Fallout 3, Bethesda Softworks partnered with and to sponsor 'A Post-Apocalyptic Film Festival Presented by Fallout 3'. The festival took place on August 22–23 at Santa Monica's Aero Theater. Six post-apocalyptic movies were shown which depict life and events that could occur after a world-changing disaster, including,. Main article:Bethesda's Todd Howard confirmed during E3 2008 that (DLC) would be prepared for the Xbox 360 and Windows versions of Fallout 3. Slate trigger 2 crack.

There are five DLCs: Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta, released in that order. Of the five, Broken Steel has the largest effect on the game, altering the ending and allowing the player to continue playing past the end of the main quest line.Originally, there was no downloadable content announced for the PlayStation 3 version of the game. Although Bethesda had not offered an explanation as to why the content was not released for PlayStation 3, analyst Colin Sebastian speculated that it may have been the result of a money deal with Bethesda by 's competitor,. When asked if the PlayStation 3 version would receive an update that would enable gameplay beyond the main quest's completion, Todd Howard responded, 'Not at this time, no.' However, in May 2009, Bethesda announced that the existing DLC packs ( Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt and Broken Steel) would be made available for the PlayStation 3; the later two ( Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta) were released for all platforms.On October 1, 2009, a premium theme for the game was released for the Xbox 360.

Consumers could pay 240 Microsoft Points, or by having downloaded all other downloadable content. The PlayStation 3 received a free theme, featuring a Brotherhood of Steel Knight in the background, and includes symbols from the game as icons on the PS3 home menu. In December 2008 the, known as the G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit) was made available for the Windows version of the game as a free download from the Fallout 3 website. It's not a Fallout game. It's not even a game inspired by Fallout, as I had hoped.

It's a game that contains a loose assortment of familiar Fallout concepts and names. Electricity, pre-war electronic equipment, powered and still working computers (just think about that for a second), working cola & snack machines, weapons, ammo, scrap metal (needed by many), and even unlooted first aid boxes are everywhere.—Vince D. Weller, long-time No Mutants Allowed member, former RPG news site director, and lead developer ofNot all fans were happy with the direction the Fallout series was taken in after its acquisition by Bethesda Softworks. Notorious for their support of the series' first two games, Fallout and Fallout 2, members centered on one of the oldest Fallout, No Mutants Allowed, have criticized departures from the original games' stories, gameplay mechanics and setting.

Criticisms include the prevalence of unspoiled food after 200 years, the survival of wood-framed dwellings following a nuclear blast, and the ubiquity of Super Mutants at early levels in the game. Also criticized are the quality of the game's writing, its relative lack of verisimilitude, the switch to a first-person action game format, and the level of reactiveness of the surrounding game world to player actions. In response, of has called fan groups like No Mutants Allowed 'selfish' and 'arrogant', stating that a new audience deserves a chance to play a Fallout game; and that if the series had stayed the way it was back in 1997, new titles would never have been made and brought to market. Luke Winkie of tempers these sentiments, saying that it is a matter of ownership; and that in the case of Fallout 3, hardcore fans of the original series witnessed their favorite games become transformed into something else. Regional variations Drug references On July 4, 2008, Fallout 3 was refused classification by the (ACB) in, thus making it illegal to distribute or purchase the game in the country. For the game to be reclassified, the offending content in the Australian version of the game had to be removed by Bethesda Softworks and the game resubmitted to the ACB.

According to the ACB board report, the game was refused classification due to the 'realistic visual representations of drugs and their delivery method bringing the 'science-fiction' drugs in line with 'real-world' drugs'.A revised version of the game was resubmitted to the ACB and reclassified as MA 15+ on August 7, 2008, or not suitable for people under the age of 15 unless accompanied by a parent or adult guardian; this new rating ensured that the game could retail legally in Australia. According to the ACB board report, the drug content was not removed entirely from the revised version of the game, but the animation showing the actual usage of the drugs was removed; the minority view on the decision stated that the drug content was still enough to warrant a refused classification rating.In a later interview with UK gaming magazine Edge, Bethesda Softworks revealed that there would be only one version of Fallout 3 released worldwide, and that this version would have all real-world drug references removed. It was later clarified that the only change made would be that, a real-world drug that would have appeared in the game, would instead be renamed to the more generic 'Med-X'. Release in India On October 22, 2008, Microsoft announced that the game would not be released in India on the Xbox 360 platform. Religious and cultural sentiments were cited as the reason. Microsoft stated, 'Microsoft constantly endeavors to bring the best games to Indian consumers in sync with their international release.

However, in light of cultural sensitivities in India, we have made the business decision to not bring Fallout 3 into the country.' Although the specific reason was not revealed in public, it is possible that it is because the game contains two-headed mutated cows called Brahmin, or that is also the name of an ancient, powerful hereditary caste of priests and religious scholars in India, or its similarity to the spelling of, a type of cow that originated in India. Brahman, a breed of, are revered.

Sensitivity in Japan Bethesda Softworks changed the side quest 'The Power of the Atom' in the Japanese version of Fallout 3 to relieve concerns about depictions of atomic detonation in inhabited areas, as the memory of the remains strong in the country. In non-Japanese versions, players are given the option of either defusing, ignoring, or detonating the dormant atomic bomb in the town of Megaton; in the Japanese version, the character of Mr. Burke is absent, making it impossible to choose the detonation option. Also in the Japanese release, the 'Fat Man' nuclear catapult weapon was renamed 'Nuka Launcher', as the original name was a reference to, the bomb used on Nagasaki. According to Tetsu Takahashi, responsible for localizing Fallout 3 to Japan under his company ZeniMax Asia, the available actions prior to localizing 'The Power of the Atom' and the ability to kill civilians almost got the game banned by before it received an Adult Only Rating.
