The story is good, but with little or no real character interaction or emotion (apart from your father) it falls a little flat. It is very playable, and the controls are easy (once you get used to the "pip boy" device for the games menus) but can get a little bit repetative and the landscape is bleak. Another plus side, from a purely girly perspective, is that you can get a lovely, if slightly stained, 50's style dress and high heels for your female character. Also, like Oblivion, there are no cut scenes and, on the plus side, dialogue can be cut short. The only "reward" is basically completing the game. some characters will only follow you if you are bad, others will follow only if you are good, and if you do something they disapprove of then they will leave you). Although you can choose to have a companion, games like Dragon Age give us great characters, moral choices, friendships and relationships to offer some kind of reward for our actions within the game - this really has none, although there is a "Karma" system, where good or bad actions produce good or bad karma - this limits some of the followers you can have (eg. The only downside is, like Oblivion, it falls so flat with character interaction and any depth of storyline. The plus side is that later in the game you meet a plastic surgeon, so you then get the option to change your appearance.Īnyone who has played Oblivion - Elder Scrolls will see the similarities straight away - choosing all you attributes etc etc before going out of the vault door - the set up and game play is virtually identical. You can customise your character, but it is a little limited and I've yet to create a character that doesn't look completely gormless! The trouble is there there is a whole "1950's Sci-fi theme" to the menu screens, and the screen where you customise your character is like a grainy 1950's TV - you don't get a very good idea of what you actually look like.
Although its a free-roaming, open world its all ruins, rubble and dead trees with lots of mutated creatures and roaming raider gangs out to get you.
Its post-apocolypse, so its not a "pretty" game. Whereas with games like Dragons Dogma, where side quests consist of "kill 20 rabbits", these side quests can actually be quite long and involved. From the makers of Oblivion and Skyrim, so, as you expect, the completely open world environment is good (if a little bleak and repetitive) and there is the main quest, various faction quests and lots of little side quests for various characters you meet on the way. Fallout 3 is set in a post-nuclear USA where you have lived all your life in a protective vault, until now.
