Fallout 3 Main Quest Guide

Max your stats by level 4… then tell us how you did it

Words: Paul Ryan, GamesRadar US

Guides written by: Daniel Acaba, Tyler Nagata

You won’t make it to the end if you can’t get through the beginning. You can’t get through the beginning? Really? We hope not. Fallout 3’s Intro throws you right into the game and teaches you to play at the same time, but it’s not that tough. Nonetheless, we’re sure you’ve missed a few things, done something wrong or decided to play on Very Hard.

Of course, there’s no absolute wrong way to play Fallout, but here are just a few things you could do more right after reading our guide: Wonder if you happened to miss a +10 science bobble head found on your father’s desk? Or you’re not sure if speech, barter and unarmed were the right skills to tag? Don’t worry. We have all the answers in an easily printable and flip-through-able guide that you can tape on the wall next to your TV to impress your friends.

I think my first character will be a sneaky one. I just love not being seen and killing people with them having no idea what just happened.

This game is awesome. It is a great tribute to the excellence of the original, while a fresh take of it's own. The wife has been getting a bit neglected since it came out, though!

Ahh so thats how you hack! I hate the hacking system. It took me 30 mins to get some useless information one time.

You say in the guide that the D-pad isn't used, but it is in fact used as an Oblivion-style shortcut key, eight directions and all.

@ELpork: Thank you very much. I'm having a lot of fun putting these together. This is definitely one of the best games I've played in years.
