As you begin to grow up and listen to your Dad (brilliantly voiced by Schindler’s List’s Liam Neeson), Fallout 3 contains one of the greatest character creation systems ever made. The game opens in Vault 101, as your unnamed and ungendered protagonist begins life as a child oblivious to the world outside the vault’s underground walls. From the clothing to the Pip Boy 3000, Bethesda did an absolutely phenomenal job in convincing the player of the future of America. As a result of this interesting dynamic, Fallout 3 brilliantly illustrates what creative minds can do with a well-constructed narrative world. However, rather than being a futuristic time line based on present-day America, the game features a world set in the cold war culture and values of the 1950s. Unfortunately, even though Fallout 3 portrays one of the most compelling worlds ever seen in a videogame, the ending of the game is so anti-climatic that it ultimately left me wandering again, seeking a classic RPG to fulfill my thirst.įallout 3 is set in the late 23rd century, in a post-apocalyptic version of the Washington D.C. For those of you who regularly read my reviews, this may be shocking, since you know I am an old school gamer to the core, and yet here I was, having the time of my life with a first-person shooter. About twenty hours into the game, as I wandered through the wasteland running and gunning the latest super mutant in V.A.T.S, I thought Fallout 3 was one of the greatest RPGs ever made.
