About Fallout 3
Fallout 3 is set in the Capital Wasteland, where you face radiation, Super Mutants and hostile mutated creatures. You explore the ruins of the United States, make choices that shape your character and change the world, and decide how to handle situations, from talking through problems to using a Plasma Rifle. You can view the world in first or third person.
Character choices
The S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Character System lets you customize your character using points-based abilities. You can also choose from dozens of unique skills and perks, each with a variety of effects.
Combat
The Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System (V.A.T.S.), accessed through your Pip-Boy Model 3000, lets you pause time during combat, target specific body parts and queue up attacks. Attacks play out in a cinematic presentation.
People and places
Characters have facial expressions, gestures, unique dialogue and lifelike behavior, supported by Radiant AI. The Capital Wasteland includes ruined monuments, barren stretches of wasteland, danger-filled offices and metro tunnels in DC, and mutated creatures.
