Fallout3 is the best rpg/minor horror game i have ever played.its a survivor game. be prepared when you leave safe areas. there are phycos, crazy mutints and of coarse radiation. thats why its called fallout3 because of the fallout affect. you start out in a safe non radiant base in the ground. its been peaceful until one day when your 19. your da has left the base and you have to find him. thats basicly the whole storyline in a nutshell. theres a big map you can explore on. alot of missions. i have been playing for a total of 76 hours and i sitll havent beatin every thing including dcl. if you get this game buy it on xboxlive marketplace on games on demand. i think its comes out on it in march. if you have any questons my xboxlive gamertag is Afroman726

If you leave Megaton, teleport to a different location, and wait for a day or two, the townspeople should forgive you, unless you killed someone. :/ I learned this the hard way T.T
Btw, I would recommend getting the DLC if you haven't already.

Help!!! I just got the game yesterday so I'm at the beginning. I just got to Megaton and i was talking to Moira Brown. I said Goodbye and accidentally bumped the RT button and smacked her in the head with my baton. I ran outside so the game autosaved. Now, the sherriff won't stop shooting at me. Please tell me how screwed I am. If I can just say "sorry" or if i have to load the last save or start over. Thanks for reading.

New details and images from the Broken Steel DLC
Apr 21, 2009
If you wished that Fallout 3 could have ended differently (or, indeed, not ended at all), then you'll be mighty interested in the newly announced Broken Steel DLC. Scheduled for Xbox Live on May 5 at a cost of 800 points, the new content will offer new options for the game's final mission (Take it Back!), effectively changing how it ends. And, once the main quest and the Broken Steel story are completed, you'll be able to continue with side » Read Full Fallout 3 preview

You've probably read a lot about Fallout 3. Until you've actually played Fallout 3, however, you don't understand. You don't understand just how big the game feels, just how open the game seems and just how much freedom the game appears to offer. We've only had four hours with the post-apocalyptic RPG and we're already overwhelmed. » Read Full Fallout 3 preview

Fallout 3
Step into the light... the cataclysmic light
Jan 04, 2008
Jan 4, 2008 The developers behind Fallout 3 visibly wince when you describe their new game as “Oblivion with guns.” Such a summing-up might sound awesome - freeform exploration of a ruined and wasted land, hundreds of years after a nuclear apocalypse - but theres so much more to Fallout. Paranoia, social experiments, naivety. And so much comedy. Consider the legendary ‘Vaults. Theyre shelters, built under rock and granite that protected citizens from the nuclear firestorm. » Read Full Fallout 3 preview

That was our impression after leaving developer, Bethesda Softworks' demonstration of its latest project, a follow up to the cult classic post-apocalyptic role-playing series, originally debuted by Interplay Entertainment a decade ago. Since Bethesda secured the rights to produce the next chapter in the series in 2004, rumor, conjecture and fanatical fanboy-ism have been running rampant across the internet. But while long-time fans have been on the edge of their » Read Full Fallout 3 preview
