long we have not heard fallout, the last part of the series was released in 1998 for the PC and console with a few offshoots, and Fallout Tactics, a strategy game set in the scenario of the Fallout world, heard there is nothing out of the atomic wasteland. In early 2004, however, lived on the old series again, it was loud the Bethesda (best known for the "Elder Scrolls" series) have secured the rights to Fallout and working on a new part. This immediately divided the fan base, there were doubts that Bethesda could do it, let the flair and feel of the old series to life again. In October 2008, the player could then make an impression as Fallout 3 appeared.

All beginnings are difficult
All beginnings are difficult
As both of fallout, and other Bethesda titles known is the most difficult beginning. Chronic lack of ammunition, shooting iron and broken clothes are pitted everyday. But do not let them get to you if you are somewhat familiar with the surroundings and know what the dealers do and especially where it is to get what you swim in money er I mean bottle caps.
The Level System
You start at level one hundred and first one in the Vault For each monster removed not get their experience points (Short exp). Depending on what you have to specialize your character is also available for the cracking of locked doors, disarming mines, the persuasion of other people in dialogs, etc. more points. Do you have collected enough experience increases in their levels and that 10 skill points to distribute to your skills, and a special ability to choose your character gives the additional bonuses. The maximum level in Fallout 3 is 20, but this can be a DLC increase to 30.
a dynamic world
The world of Fallout 3 is quite large and so the fear creeps a fast, that, like in Morrowind relatively loveless then clapped and especially meaningless acts. But the fear is unfounded, in Fallout 3, there are at every corner to discover something. There are countless small town and in almost all these areas there are to experience a little story that is often also highly entertaining.
an example: You walk through
wasteland in search of valuable treasures, we suddenly spotted under a bridge destroyed two houses. Well, that should be subjected to scrutiny. We approach the first house and immediately falls on the neon sign outside a Nuka Cola flashes. Well then just go good in the room. Inside, we fall straight into the arms of a very bright girls to us about his Nuka Cola collection, mind you reported the biggest and best collection of Nuka Cola in the Badlands. After a tour of the healing time of warehouses brown shower we get a quest and an ice-cold Coke for the road.
The Nuka Cola collection
Bethesda typically there is also something to read, usually, these are nice and interesting additional information the current mission, which enrich the story again very much. Pity is that only players and offering a necessary degree of technical knowledge to enjoy this additional information because they are mostly located in terminal the first to be hacked, the same is true in many areas in which a player without a high Dietrich ability enter.
The world of Fallout is filled with such small stories. But that's not everything, even the game world reacts to your actions. If it accomplishes heroic deeds or unspeakably evil doing, these events are reported on the radio. In addition, you can hear in the Radio often from interesting places or situations, which can be also found there actually. Furthermore, the player can change the world by some missions lasting. One example is the radio station "Galaxy News Radio" is when you kill the DJ then you hear only the technical assistant from the radio to chat says "Well I can anything, anything so nen Depp our DJ killed. Such events are also numerous in the game.
good or evil?
be in Fallout 3 is pretty much all the missions done in several ways, often offering some optional objectives. The lion's share However, the question "I do it on the good or the bad tour. Depending on how the player decides to change the reputation in the different fractions, and the history of the game. Thus, for example, some followers of recruiting only if the karma is bad enough or deny cooperation just now because this is too low. Depending on the design changes the entire game world, this guarantees a high replay value.
How it looks for now with the old Fallout Feeling?
example of an evil fox * * muhahah
How it looks for now with the old Fallout Feeling?
Fallout 3 is the first Fallout in 3D, the game is based Graphically and musically in the 50s and this makes it really outstanding. There is nothing better than turning up the radio and to walk with fine old music through the shattered DC.
With HDR and a slight green cast looks like a wasteland contaminated double-Sun Even after almost 2 years, fallout 3 made still looks wonderful.
The dynamic day-night cycle and provides a believable game world.
The interface is similar also to the old parts, the male is known fallout from the party again.
that time I also Fallout 1 and 2 player, the feeling of "freedom" has remained in Fallout 3, the world is still full of secrets and places to explore. In my opinion it is a worthy successor to the series. Fallout feeling guaranteed!
What has changed?
Mainly adding the third dimension. However, it has also done a lot on the combat system, which is no longer as it used to turn-based, but now in real time. Button, the player has to use the opportunity the so-called VATS (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System).
here we see the VATS in action
This pauses the game and the player has the option of deliberately shooting at the opponent's body parts. Which holds the strategic advantage of an opponent's weapon arm to "cripple", whereupon he loses his gun, and suddenly is much less dangerous.
Moreover Bethesda was so dear to the players to take some leg work. Places that you have already visited you can, provided that no opponents are in your area, visit the Pip Boy immediately. You will be teleported directly in front of the door, which is convenient and saves a lot of unnecessary walking. n
differences in the German versions
was first planned for the mission "The power of the atom" to be removed from the game because here you could wipe out an entire city, they remained obtained, however, with the exception of the Japanese version. The names of all existing drugs have been undone by fancy names, moreover, the level of violence decreased, the removal of body parts is not possible, and robots do not explode. \u0026lt;- The resourceful player knows, however, as it circumvents ^ ~
Conclusion
Conclusion
Fallout 3 is a worthy successor to the old series.. There are, as then, much to see and discover. The world is in spite of great concern is not empty as one would have guessed at every turn expect the player stories and events. Thanks to the many different ways a mission accomplish is the replay value very high, especially since the game once "play through" good and evil may once. A real play through it is not, however, remains even with the completion of the main quest line at the end of a great world in which there is still much to discover. value for fans of RPGs definitely worth a look, for every Fallout veteran is a must.
So Fallout 3 gets me 4.5 of 5 fox paws
