Fallout 3 is one of my favourite games from my YOUTH. It still holds up, which is enough given how old it is, but I think even for the time it messed a few things up. I also feel like Fallout: New Vegas kind of tainted it a little by showing us how Fallout really should have been done.
My current plan now is to do the Fallout 3 DLC, a secret extra Fallout 3 video, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4, and maybe some other stragglers. This will take me years.
I then might do the Metroid series, I plan on doing it, it just depends if I will do it next. In between these videos I have some science and history videos in the works I will likely do: Game video, science video, game video, science, and so on.

The amount of betrayal I feel being told this was a video about Fallout 3, then being told it was actually a video about Fallout Tactics, and then being told it was actually ACTUALLY about Fallout 3 is unmatched.
based pfp
not to mention most of the material is taken in new vegas
considering that Fallout Tactics is the worst game of 2d Fallout, this feeling is a lot stronger

I remember loving that "ah ha!" moment when, at the conclusion, you realise you have recruited Fawkes, who is immune to radiation. It felt like some of the better moments from the original Fallout games. Only to be then met by "Great idea, but no. Because...reasons."
"Yeah that's actually a great idea but no fuck you you've gotta die so we can charge you a dlc so you can keep playing the game"
I never forgot that Fawkes's reason for not taking your place is basically "You don't wanna go and kill yourself for no reason? What are you, a pussy?". We kill ourselves because Fawkes says we're a chicken if we don't.
I remember getting him to activate the device for me, maybe I had good enough Speech skills that I talked him into it.
The end credits still get pissy about it though and tell you that you're a coward for making the radiation proof mutant walk into a radiation filled room.
@@alastairward2774 The option to convince him to do it is available if you have the DLC.
@@alastairward2774 yeah that was added in after the DLC's came out as everyone was a bit upset that you cant send in someone that wont die meaning theres no reason for a stupid sacrifice, so Bethesda then made it so you could send Fawkes or i believe a ghoul companion in
As someone in the navy, River City perfectly encapsulates what it's like to live on a vessel, there's too many doors, you don't know where the fuck you're going and EVERYWHERE LOOKS THE SAME
23:00 As someone who served in the US Navy on an aircraft carrier, that is EXACTLY the feeling you get trying to find anyone anywhere on a carrier.
Except for the "it only takes 10 seconds to run from one end of the ship to the other" part.
@@chriswhinery925 Yeah, it was more the countless identical doors hoping to find the one with the right name on it part only for them to not be there.
@@shimozu92 Not to mention the load times. You'd think with all the money the US spends on defense they could afford to store their carriers on SSDs.
The aircraft carrier is just realistic really
As someone who did maintenance on one, I can concur
Canadian Navy member here, there is a reason why naval ships have absurd amounts of doors. They are designed to have numerous watertight compartments that can be isolated. The reason for this is in case of a hull breach, and we take on water because of it - we can seal off that compartment (which already would be sealed normally) and only lose that compartment to sea, as opposed to the entire ship filling up with water.
Annoying for game design? Absolutely.
Realistic to real life? Very much so.
I loved Rivet City. The end game city of F3. I still remember its creaking hull noises haha.
Having a lot of doors in a naval ship, realistic.
Having them all closed and be loading zones, annoying.
It really shouldn't have stopped them from just loading several rooms at once, though
It's a beached ship that's been abandoned for 200 years, the doors serve no purpose other than to create loading areas so Bethesda could make the game look slightly nicer in those areas at expense of creating a loading gate every 12 seconds.
In a real post apocalyptic wasteland, the beached ship's unnecessary bulkhead doors would have been torn off by the resident squatters and repurposed into goddamn tables.
oof, RCN? *Not an RCSC kid?*
I pray you're not stationed on one of the four subs. (I'm a Canadian too, not shitting on our navy, but...)
The funniest thing to me about Colonel Autumn is that, back when I first played Fallout 3, like, eight years ago, I legit thought that he was two different people. I thought there was one Enclave dude who died with your dad, and Autumn was just *some other* Enclave dude in a trench coat. That’s how unclear his survival was and how unremarkable he was as a character
I only just now with this video learned that Autumn wasn't a separate character :)
Yeah no I thought the same when I was a kid
I thought President Eden was the guy who died in the chamber and Autumn was his right hand man
Plot progression like that is probably too intelligent for a Bethesda story though lets be honest
I actually thought Autumn was a cool and interesting character :/
@@obi-wank-enobi You haven't read many books then.

I would always be afraid when playing this game on my PS3, not because it was intense or scary, but because it would eventually freeze out of nowhere, making me lose about an hour of progress.
Good times.
weird, i had like over a hundred hrs on f3 on ps3 and never really had issues, its why i never even bothered playing it on pc
Same, but I found out that if you backstep when you encounter "the freeze zone" you might be able to save your progress, or just pressing the ps button once it freezes to just slap the game back into it's senses. But yeah, even Skyrim has this for PS3, I have lost so many hours by that thing or just being overconfident.
@@klayman2 over 100 hours and not one crash? I don't believe it.
I had the exact same experience with NV. Almost 300 hours in I lost all my saves when the files corrupted after a freeze :(
@@klayman2 impossible, Bethesda games couldn't go a minute without issues on the PS3 💀
the funniest thing about Fallout 3 is that, if you get "Tale of Two Wastelands", the Capital Wasteland is way too easy for the arsenal that New Vegas has.
so the Courier becomes a unstoppable killing machine of destruction without their natural predator around: Morality Choices.
Even enemies like Albino Radscorpions and Feral Ghoul Reavers, who are normally incredibly deadly and will wreck you in regular 3, can't stand up to a well placed shot from an Anti-Materiel Rifle once TTW comes into play.
@@ArxCyberwolfPC Well an albino has 1500 health and an Anti Material Rifle needs over 10 shots to kill it, you use DPS to kill them not single shot damage

Probably will kill the thing in 2-3 well placed shots. And you still got plenty of ammo
Or a chainsaw running backwards if you choose to play from 3 to new vegas
The whole "companions at the purifier" kerfuffle would be so easy to fix by just... not letting the companions follow you in that mission. Maybe the mutants are uncomfortable helping a faction bent on killing them (which would make plenty of sense) and never actually follow you in the Citadel for fear of getting shot at, it would really be that easy.
Not like you need them, the entire mission is basically a set piece to show off Liberty Prime and you always have Lions following you in the purifier so you can easily finish the mission almost without firing a shot.
And the fact that New Vegas does this makes it even more sad that Bethesda didn’t do this. Like if you have Boone as a companion and you get close to a legion area he will tell you he will shoot on sight. Or if you have Arcade and you align yourself with the Legion or are working with the Legion while he is with you he will either not join you as a companion, or will leave you if you continue working with them. Just shows the lack of depth sometimes with Bethesda’s writing. And the fact that the whole problem could have been resolved by just doing this is sad
Charon will do it without question.
it would have still been dumb, I had so much anti rad I was fine when I had already put in the code, I was cutscene killed.
A bit of a fun fact, one of these dlcs actually corrected Fawkes' dialogue to let him type the passcode
Or just say the machine is DNA locked to you and your dad
I still can't get over the fact that Bethesda randomly picked a German town 10km from where I grew up as Stanislaus Braun's hometown. I was SO convinced that it must have been some sort of easter egg that picked a place near you based on your IP address or something when I first came across it in the game😄

@@arsenelupin5424 I’m Canadian and interchange UK and American English without even thinking about it lol. Like “grey” and “gray”
The code is 216 by the way, if you were curious. You know, like the Revelations quote Liam Neeson told you about in the vault when your character was 1? In hindsight it's a bit strange this wasn't shown in some meaningful capacity, this was the code to start the purifier, and not just some quote that inspired your father. He does say it a few more times during the midgame, which is how I figured it out myself, but only by going through some of his extra dialogue options.
Wow I never noticed I did a second play through and had the enclave execute me to get the correct code. I always wondered how I knew it
It's been forever since I played FO3, but isn't there a framed plaque or something in the room next to the console that literally has the bible quote on it? Because I know for sure that I entered the code before, even though there's no way I remembered it.
Um... The code is in a voice message right on top of the machinery in the purifier. Same exact place you get the message about your father being in Vault 113. Which I always found funny because if you never pick it up, it is still there when the Enclave show up and they could find it easily.
Im pretty sure you even have a note on your pip-boy that says "The code is 216"
I believe as you die from radiation you also get a flashback to the memory of that moment so you can figure it out and enter the code.
You’re right with the “it” statement. Look at Far Harbour in comparison to Fallout 4. If FO4 had had half the heart and effort that it’s dlc had been so lovingly crafted with, then we’d have definitely been onto a winner.
Yeah definitely
That just reminds me how much Fallout 4 disappointed me... from the colourful graphics that don’t match the somber tone of Fallout, to the non-existent role
playing to even the annoyingly childish UI... 😩
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here but I feel like FO4 was doomed by FO3's nonsense writing more than anything else (well, that and the dialogue being poor). The combat through the streets of downtown Boston felt more immersive than any of the combat in the older fallout games, but you can't really build a world like the one in NV since you're kinda bound by Fallout 3's lore. Both games would also make a lot more sense if they were set in the 2100s I guess
too bad far harbor was not made by people who made fallout 4 eh? It's only dlc made by a different bethesda team...the one that will make a new fallout game, fallout 76. Kinda funny right?
@@victorc8855 Even worse is Fallout 4 has this really cool background story of how does a place and its people cope not only with the non-stop paranoia of _anyone_ being replaced, but having lost one of the long standing defense forces (the minutemen) just a few years before. I feel if they had honed in more on that, the story would be far more interesting. It may have explained why there are so many well-put together buildings, for example (sort of a second apocalypse). Or if they had followed the concept art more closely...
Fallout 3 actually scared me on my first play through. The creepy background, and running into your first versions of enemies while holding a pistol and a bat. Then, once you have enough ammo and weapons, you become a complete badass.
Yeah! My first playthrough i didnt know beds could heal you and when i got to big town somehow supermutants kept raiding it and i was stuck in defense mode
Then i lost the game entriely

Technically, Interplay and Black Isle weren't different studios. It was still more or less the same team under different branding.
Dead on
I was looking for this comment otherwise I would have said it ahaha, didn’t Black Isle essentially come about as a studio under interplay which was then dismantled when interplay collapsed
@@HomeBoyOfficial basically
dw about it. the video is meant to be entertaining, and his scripts are so dense that sacrificing accuracy for humor is kind of preferred to the inverse.
So the obsidian standard?
I'm surprised there was no mention of the DLC which makes Fawkes go "I was going to send you, the human who will certainly be melted by the radiation, in to push some buttons, but that would actually be really dumb and yeah of course I'll go do that."
Maybe we’ll get *Fallout 3 DLCs are an Absolute Nightmare.*
But it's your destiny!!!! Fallout 3 original ending is one of the worst pieces of fiction ever written.
"Getting killed by radiation is your destiny but for $5 I will actually just save the wasteland instead"
Thanks Fawkes.
Think that was broken steel. Also makes the game open ended
@@ExEBossthe prophet
If you’re in the simulation and console command kill 2 people, or hurt “sally”, she warns you the first time. Like the simulation of a simulation is self aware that they didn’t just spontaneously die. Sally is warning the player. “You can’t do that here.” The second time you hurt somebody, she Tesla explodes and immediately kills you. Even if neither kills were directly done by the player, but through console
Spooky shit.
I mean, there’s not other way for them to die in an unscripted event
Somehow I remember triggering the mysterious stranger in there when the only thing you are supposed to do is slap someone.
It feels like a false memory to me now, but I think this bug was patched out later. only happened once to me though and was super funny seeing the stranger gunning down your target and everything being black and white, pure bethesda gold right there !
Can not remember if I got tesla exploded after that as well, probably yes.....
@@Blackjack174fallout 3 has some creepy ass bugs. President Eden floating and being in the pentagon after you killed him is creepy as fuck, there’s also one where certain robot corpses would “run” away from you and their models would just glitch the fuck out until they entirely disappeared. That happened to me once and terrified the shit out of younger me.
For anyone wondering, the GOG version is far more stable and runs a lot smoother. I played though until I got to level 30 without a single crash.
What's the GOG version if you please? Pardon my ignorance. 👍🙂
@@phlhoran12396 GoG is a launcher like Steam which have games without DRM, which means that games on GoG can be played without many crashing bc computer does not take large part of its memory for unnessesery DRM

My favorite part of the game is the absolutely obtuse way you’re given the code for the final mission, in that it was given to you at the VERY beginning of the game. Your dad doesn’t just quote revelations 21:6 for no reason, it’s LITERALLY the code for running the water purifier (216). Of course, you have to infer that this is the code and there’s no direct hint to it aside from a few dialogue choices early on in the enclave prison. All it would’ve taken was just a note or something aside from James just quoting revelations.
This made for one of the most rewarding video game moments for me. When I just stood in that chamber panicking because I had no Idea what the code was. Then suddenly remembering that quote that was repeated so often in these conversations, typing in the numbers and winning the game. Despite all flaws this game has, that was excellent writing.
I actually remember as a kid, checking my notes panicking and showing active quest notes, and it shows the verse. Still took me a while to realize its the verse number. So it *kindve* points you there, but still in a very cryptic way
I never realized that in 2 playthroughs
Lol when I first played it I realized that the Bible quote was the password, but died trying to remember what the number was

9:24 the power station actually has a unmarked quest that’ll lead you to a unique weapon you can get by just following the power lines, and finding a holotape, and then finding more!

I remember being 13 and playing this back in 2009, one day while just walking the wasteland in the distance to my right I saw the corpse of a Yao-Gui flying directly upward before plummeting behind some hills.
That was caused by a Deathclaw. They're "Giants from Skyrim" powerful, and I've personally seen a Deathclaw launch a Yao-Gui into the sky in my playthroughs. Ironically rockets and mini nukes don't even have that kind of launching power. I love the ridiculousness of it.
It's amazing they were allow to sell it on Steam without a fix. It was easy to tackle but it really must have frustrated a lot of people. Off track, Rivet City become fun when Diego gets married, and you attend the wedding with a flame thrower and use it right after his new bride says "I love you Diego".
I still remember vividly my last time playing F3's ending. I had the Broken Steel DLC and could FINALLY convince Fawkes to go into the purifier, good job Bethesda?...
NO
Apparently they were so salty about people pointing out this obvious plot hole they have a very snarky bit in the final slideshow about how "The Lone Wanderer found a TRUE HERO to venture into the irradiated control chamber." which ticked me off. Fawkes is IMMUNE to radiation, there's a way to solve the issue with no one dying and the game basically calls you a coward for not committing suicide.
I could maybe see the logic if you convinced Sarah Lyons to give her life in your place or something but with Fawkes it just felt condescending, I had played F3 multiple times and still have fond memories but that ending left such a sour taste I never bothered again.
god i forgot that is said the 'true hero' part...in my case to be fair it was probably true since when i got the the end of that dlc and had the option of nuking the enclave or the brotherhood I might have not read what I was doing and got really confused when i got a bunch of negative karma.
But hey, at least i could have the goul in the museum as a follower now
That shit pissed me off too
Well I was playing through before the dlc and had to sacrifice myself ... Maybe they'll gloss over the fact I sold kids and ate people ... I get to die a hero .... Dlc comes out nope wasn't that toxic just needed some time to sleep it off ... You know I'd have just given the player, control of a random NPC that they were aligned with ... With the line "I'll carry on what they started" .... I enjoyed the game to. I think it was the perfect walking sim after a long day.
Dlc since up forgot to mention them
Mother ship was cheesy fun ... Kill aliens with a samurai and a cowboy
Anchor was mehh ... Just kill in the snow nothing too interesting
Pitt was ok but more combat focused ... Loved the setting though if It had a bit more world building to explore I might think higher of it.
Point look out was my favourite though ... Take a trip to a creepy island and explore ... Some great characters and a vibe ...Feel that got recycled some what for far harbour ... But that's the Bethesda way....
Wonder what fallout 77 will be like?
I don't think that line was intended as the passive aggressive jab it probably felt like, Ron Perlman is super expensive to hire for voice work and they probably couldn't afford to have him come back to do more lines, so they re-used the line for where you originally would have sacrificed Sarah Lyons.
Seriously. It's a line that makes sense if you just refuse to do it and send someone else who would definitely die from it in your stead. In that scenario you're basically saying "Nope. Either someone else dies or we all die, but I'm not doing it." But it's not like there was a black-and-white choice between "sacrifice yourself" and "sacrifice someone else." They give you *multiple* companions who are pretty much immune to radiation. Even worse, Fawkes being immune to radiation isn't just background lore that someone involved in the writing might have forgotten in the moment. It's literally a plot point that comes up as part of the main story just a few quests earlier when he retrieves the G.E.C.K. and then shows up to try to save you from the Enclave after you're captured.
There's a big difference between a heroic sacrifice and a pointless one. Jumping in front of a gunman to take a bullet for someone else and risking your life to save theirs is a heroic act. Jumping in front of a bulletproof android that could shrug it off without effort and risking your life for literally nothing is a pointless one. If anything, I'd argue that it comes off more as stroking your own ego and having a messiah complex if you choose to "sacrifice yourself" when it's completely unnecessary just so that you can play the part of the glorious hero.

Many locations actually had secret (hidden) areas that with a few exceptions were boring. The underground subway tunnels were boing and confusing. But so was my life so I played them several times.
They were actually one of my favorite parts because of how most of them branched to different locations, so a wrong turn would have you end up with a whole new quest.

I loved when 40 hours into a play through my save got corrupted and would crash anytime I would try to fast travel or enter a building. Turns out you can't save over the same file too many times or the save will go kaput.
Thats only true for the PS3 version iirc
@@funbrute31 unfortunately that's true of most save systems. That's why using the Quick Save Feature is not a great idea and you should still create your own saves. There's always a chance it can corrupt if you save over the same file many times. (Granted it's uncommon, but it is still possible and has happened to me on a few different games, not just Bethesda Titles)
@@funbrute31 it’s most likely for the ps3 version, but it’s still possible even on a modern pc, don’t use quick save, disable all auto saves, and always create manual saves, if you don’t like manual saving, there are mods that help you by making auto saves not over write the last one and instead create a new one and delete the old one, it has been a little hole so I forgot the name of any of these mods but they do exist, at least when I played new Vegas they did.
It shouldn't matter if it is the same file or not, because it never is the same file.
Normally you would create a new file node that replaces the old file node with the same name. But even if you overwrite the same file node, it should then refer to a different physical location, unless you are using an old and badly implemented file system. If your file gets corrupted then, either your storage medium is damaged and you should replace it, or the game itself wrote the file content wrong. Probably the latter.
Either way, it does not depend at all on which or what file you write to.
How long the game has been running may have an effect, if its code is poorly written. Or how hot the SSD has become with all the reading and writing.
Oof
Ah yes. I vividly remember the first time I got to the end of fallout 3 with Fawkes telling me it was somehow my destiny to suicide despite a perfectly valid and logical option being avalable. That was the only playthrough where everything seemed to inexplicably turn red for the ending. The dozen or so mini-nukes I blasted at everything in sight might have had something to do with it.

“I’ll give a better ending!”
Bethesda couldn’t do it any better themselves!
My biggest gripe with this game is that everything feels like Bethesda just dressed Elder Scrolls and all of its character actors in different costumes and told them to be post-apocalyptic. As a result, the world feels like a bunch of nukes were dropped last thursday. It's supposed to take place two centuries after a war, but none of the citizens act like they're several generations down from apocalypse survivors. They even live in literal garbage without ever having attempted to build anything new. Also, for some reason Virginia is a desert with dried up dead trees, when the only reason the previous two games were like that is that it's California. Deathclaws are genetic splicing experiments that escaped from a lab on the other side of the continent. Radscorpions are arachnids that do not live in the D.C area. Super Mutants were made exclusively a few dozen miles away from San Fransisco. Bethesda's entire contribution to Fallout feels like someone made a sequel by skimming a fanmade wiki and only looking at the pictures. Probably the exact reason why they actually thought that aliens are canon.
Yeah, the perfect example to your point was when you go to that one village that's built on a highway (Arefu), and one of the residence is in some PTSD induced delusional psychosis where she thinks the world is still normal outside. Like how would someone who is born over 150 years after the war not be used to growing up and being raised in a wasteland? How would they even know firsthand how the old world was before the nukes dropped for them to delude themselves into thinking the current wasteland was still normal like pre war in the first place? She wasn't a former vault resident either, she was literally born, raised, and lived full time in the nuclear wasteland
What doesn't help is that this game does nothing better than any game before or after it. Fallout 1 did tight narrative storytelling better, Fallout 2 struck the best balance between a sea of content and making that content unique, New Vegas modernised the themes of the originals and factional stories, and then Fallout 4 surpassed this game with its vast ammount of viable character builds and better exploration.
Hundreds of years after a nuclear war, humans would be dead or would have rebuilt to something like modern society. The way the games are set up would make much more sense, if you just divide the times after the war by 10.
As for the setting - if they'd have put in the same effort in other areas as they did with the Mirelurks, I think the rest of the game could have been a lot better. Those creatures actually make sense for a coastal area, and there was a whole area (the wiki says Anchorage memorial) involving them that felt like a real Fallout game. It seemed like it was only made by one or two people, since it didn't have any people you could talk to, and was very short but it had skill-checks, and a story told through notes and items placed in the environment.
@@Gameprojordan It sometimes feels like when they made Fallout 3 they were originally going to do something with the time period immediately following the war. Same with Fallout 4. Its feels like Bethesda wants to go down that route but pulled off until F76. TBH I would love for them to go that route but in a single player RPG rather than what we got with F76, focusing on survival and not dying from radiation poisoning and etc.
@@abox7825 to be fair fallout 3 brought the entire series into a fully 3D environment. That is a big step for the series as a whole, but not so much of a narrative or in-universe step up for the series, more like a mechanical step up
You have no idea how comfortable it is to hear someone else say they didnt know the password at the end of the game after years of being ridiculed for it by my friends.
We’re we ever actually told or read the code in the first place?
@@TheTendermen Yes, a couple times. 216 it's read to you at the beginning of the game and later on it's on one of the holotapes when trying to discover where your dad went. Plus you have it as a note in the pipboy
@@TedOmann It is also pointed towards by a quest marker right before the finale. The game literally tells you to listen to that holotape.

The fact that he didn't realise who the Enclave even are when they show up is one of the many signs that Bethesda failed immensely at writing this game.

@@your-username-here2308 More whataboutism
Difference is, FNV lets you explore them kinda deeply and decide what to do about them in the end too, thus introducing them to new players thus completely ruining your point. Also they make better job at showing "true human nature". None is black and white and everything is morally dubious. What profits one, hurt other. You can never be a knight in shining armor, you can only pretend to be one, coz your hands will get dirty and they will make sure you'll know. Coz unlike F3 and talon company = NPCs aren't just mobs to kill.
It simply boils down to Todd's famous "we don't do writers, our designers are our writers" *facepalm*. Which shows. Sadly.

I think that some of the sidequests being the most interesting thing about this game is one of its big problems, given how a lot of them are far enough away from the main quest path so that you may well never stumble across them. That and the first half of the main quest being go to a location, talk to someone, do a job for them, them get directed to the next person to talk to
Thatvis literally every bethesda game i ever played lol. Playing any of them for the main quest is like watching porn for the plot.
its almost like you are supposed to step off the path and explore
sadly yes. The sidequests being the best part implicitly means the main story of the game is far less interesting (or well written), and so mean the main story isn't worth playing.
Liberty Prime is cool as fuck though. Shame you couldn't get like a giant mecha final boss against Eden in a rival mech though.
@@pixelman6193 yes but that doesn't excuse having the main quest be so uninteresting in comparison. The ending matters.
@@noukan42 that's not a good excuse though. Just because its in every bethesda game doesn't make it a good thing nor that we should ignore it.

The story in Fallout 3 (and 4) is the reason why I absolutely hate Emil Pagliarulo. The man cannot write a good story to save his life, yet has been the lead writer on no less than 3 Fallout titles to date. Between the absolutely cringe Enclave ending in Fallout 3, the joke of a faction that is the Institute in Fallout 4, and the paper thin premise of Fallout 76, I legitimately do not understand how this man is still employed as a writer. As someone who enjoys great stories and plot twists, it downright offends me that this man is still allowed to write for video games. /rant
More respect for the man,Emil Pagliarulo is the reason why I wanna become a writer for videogames, after analizing carefully his work in the fallout series I realized how unskilled and horrible he's at his work, and realized that if he can do it then everyone can.

Fallout 3's ending could've been fixed entirely if they wrote it to where the Enclave pushed one final attack on the purifier and everyone went to fight them off while you activated it.
Or maybe it needed two different people to press two separate buttons, so Fawkes would go into the room but he needed someone else to be in there with him.
There is however, the small matter of the entire rest of the game.
I think the Enclave had a missed opportunity to mean well, even Shamus Young feels that a tiny bit given how the purifier can be enabled WITHOUT fighting over it.
Bethesda sucks at writing characters for games beyond Morrowind, don't they?

My older Brother's friend loaned us his copy of FO3 and that was our 1st time playing it. He told us, "Go ahead and borrow it for as long as you like, I finished it already a few times."
Literally a week later, trophies were patched into the game and my brother's friend was like "Damn it! And I JUST said you can borrow it as long as you like, I'm not gonna bug you for it back after only a week!" lol

@@vincentjonesvr but it’s still not an easy feat either.
The thing I feel Fallout 3 does best is: Wasteland exploring. Sure most of the locations are empty and has nothing in them, and that is certainly a point against that statement. However. The mood of sifting through ruins in a world that is more or less completely devoid of civilization is done very well. If they added stuff in more of the empty buildings, like the example with the desk fan in this video, then it would be a perfect wasteland simulator. More small side-quests would also be nice.
I do no care for the main quest at all.
I can certainly agree that most of the last half of the main quest was trash (made ever-so-slighty less trash with the "you survived" retcon DLC), but I don't think any game ever did the open world as well. There were whole nights of play where I just picked a random direction and found stuff to get up to, or just a tangled mess of underground tunnels to explore.
I'll be honest - I have loathed pretty much every fallout storylines. I was ALMOST on board with New Vegas, until 5 minutes after meeting Mr. House, he says "welp, the first thing to do is to go to the bases of all those friends you made and blow them up". And then you find you can merely go in, piss everyone off at you forever WITHOUT killing them, and that's just as good? Wha? I finished the story (after immediately killing House), but it was mostly out of inertia at that point.
It didn't feel like exploration as much as stumbling over something that wants to kill me for no reason every ten metres.
Many of the characters are just annoying, and the dialogue options are lacklustre.
For example the vampires: Drinking blood donations is still cannibalism. But you can't tell them that, it is either or. And why are their neighbours half the map distant? And what do they eat?
There is no viable economy or ecology, and the survivors have not found any clever ways of surviving, they still survive on pre-war rations. Two centuries later they are still talking about "the war" as if nothing had happened since, including other wars. Even though it is still in living memory, it is quite a long while.
And the loot. There is more loot than you can carry, and more than the traders can buy. Why do they even bother buying from you? Why are the raiders still raiding? What is the point of going anywhere to explore? Just for some tribute set-pieces to famous authors of early horror?
@@davidwuhrer6704 "There is no viable economy or ecology"
When has there ever been either of these integrated fully and comprehensively?
@@davidwuhrer6704 Ah, yes, because there's no Brahmin around as a food source in Fallout 3, no merchant traders, etc.
I think to have done that they should probably have set it much earlier then because it strains suspension of disbelieft that the world is still a complete wasteland almost 200 years after the apocalypse. It should have been something closer to say Metro, STALKER or DayZ where it's set immediately after the apocalypse happened so the effects of the apocalypse are still felt and there's still loot to be found. It's very hard to believe that not only does the world still look like it was nuked yesterday after 200 years but also that there's anything left to be looted, like you'd imagine that everything would have been picked clean several times over by now and after that people would have moved in for the raw materials. Like there wouldn't be any buildings left because people would have ripped down all the concrete buildings to use as bricks in their own buildings and used the steel reinforcement to make steel tools out of.
The problem with Fallout 3 was that it was too big, so they had to fill it with a bunch of nothing.
Todd then looked at that, and said. "Yeah, lets make Fallout 76 4x larger. That is a number I can say!" While the developers are over there in a corner tearing their faces off.
We really need a full remake of FO3. There were a lot of good ideas executed very amateurly and I'm glad this video validated some of my annoyances. I thought it was just me being ungreatful, but the empty feeling just never really left while playing it. Sorta just hoping to see *something* interesting around the next corner.
Empty feeling describes how I felt playing it perfectly. I went in long after release but expecting greatness and was sorely dissapointed.
F03 has good moments and aspects but I did not enjoy it.
Why would you ever feel ungrateful in having issues with something you’ve paid for?
@@night6724 I never played them. Too clunky.
Fo3 probably has the best open world in the franchise, Most iconic real life locations atleast. It also has the darkest atmosphere of the modern games. The issue is the game was blending old school with the new so in many ways it felt a bit dated from a combat perspective from the get go but it was always supposed to feel like that. I guess modern times have just absolutely wrecked the attention spans of you younger folks. It's not a hit you with dopamine kind of game, the discovery was in finding places that you knew in real life, trawling through a dark metro full of radiated zombies to surface beneath the ruins of a national monument. Reading the history of people who had taken up occupation in these places etc etc.
2008 was a time of technological limitations
First thing I did when I started playing this on my PC for the first time was look up a guide to mod it. The video I found was so helpful. It went over how to get Games for Windows, how to play in windowed mode but actually full screen, and making it crash less in general.
Spiff voicing Sid somehow makes him more villainous. I now expect him to commit war crimes, and exploit the entire known universe for infinite money.
The way I looked at the original ending to FO3 was as follows. Your father gave up the entire world for his child. And then once his child was safe and grown, he realized it was time to give up his family and even his life to save the world. Which he did and failed. The burden then becomes yours and you end up being given the opportunity to sacrifice yourself for the world. It’s poetic in a sense that the cost of the world was always your life.
I will admit the first time I finished the game I chose to input the code myself. And I actually stopped and put the controller down for a few minutes just sitting in the silence that it was all over. I enjoyed the finality of the story and the fact that I could start a new one and not just continue on whenever DLC was released. Which they did anyways.
Still makes no sense when they guy right next to you can do the same thing with literally zero risk to himself
@@geoshark12 he literally says why though. It’s not his destiny, it’s yours. Which is why if you choose to send someone else in, the credits still roll and the history books stop writing about you. Because you are nobody.
@@FroggyNight Destiny is a bit of a butt if the hero sacrifice was its plan the whole time, lol. The player only survives past the first 20 minutes of the game because Amata wakes them up before security can kill them.

By the way, the code to activate the purifier is 216.
Yeah, that's the only part I'm sad wasn't covered. I don't think all of the DLC needs to covered, but I feel like fallout 3 is much better with Broken Steel.
@NinjaAgnostic yeah the game is like 13 years old and broken steel came out like 12 years ago. Broken Steel ending is literally the proper ending at this point, people still complaining about the decade+ old obsolete ending on release need to get over it lol
I actually watch Fallout 1-3 through nostalgia goggles yet I agree with almost every point you make.
Should be 1-2, not 1-3.
What bothered me about James is, he wasn't even born in the vault, up and leaves for Project Purity and has the nerve to say, "you're a big boy/girl now, you can get along on your own now", where? In the wasteland we've never seen? Or the vault that was hunting you down when he most likely knew they'd be sore about the vault opening? Probably not supposed to think about it too much, just always bothered me some with nowhere to express that thought
i was expecting a fallout 3 video, then settled with a Fallout tactics video, only to realize it IS a fallout 3 video. 10/10

Wish there were more fallout games like the first and second they are so fucking good. If only Bethesda would make another but since that’s a bad idea for.....money it’s not gonna happen
Well, they're owned by Microsoft now, so they might not have much of a choice. Or even better, Microsoft lets obsidian make fallout games, so we can have, ya know, good fallout games.
I recommend Atom RPG, give it a try it's on steam and conoles
Go play Wasteland
New vegas is the closest to the first and second
Underrail, atom rpg, probably a few others. It's there, if you look for it. Underrail is especially old fallout like in that every little sidequest is fleshed out
The first time I played through Fallout 3, I had positive karma and was able to talk Fawkes into activating the reactor because I had the DLC, and the game still talked about me like I was the second coming of Satan and called Fawkes the hero, and it didn't even change the intro to Broken Steel.
Ah yes… that one time in the Bethesda writers’ room: “Dude you know what would be totally perfect thing to add to a game about a post-post-nuclear wasteland?”

I shall tell the a secret, New Vegas is a Dessert Primarily with far less locations. While fallout 3 is a huge Metropolitan area filled with locations so you can't make every location interesting otherwise it doesn't make sense but they could have had more interesting locations since it is set in DC but yeah I understand your critiques on it.

To add insult to injury, if you have the Broken Steel DLC installed the game will let you send Fawkes (or the other radiation-immune companion Charon) into the purification chamber in your place. BUT THEN THE NARRATOR CALLS YOU A COWARDLY ASSHOLE ANYWAYS. Like wtf, Ron, I thought we were cool, I've watched hellboy like 6 times.
My worst mistake regarding Fallout 3 probably was playing Fallout NV in large quantities beforehand. While I enjoyed the atmosphere and the DLCs for Fallout 3, I expected another FNV style main story and overall quest structure which just wasn't there. I did one full playthrough, tried some mods and since then I didn't touch it anymore.
One extremely fortunate thing for Me though is, that I tend to avoid most, if not all bugs and crashes in video games which is really nice.
20:10 OH MY GOD how am I JUST discovering you tonight?!
I played the series for the first time this year. When playing the first two, I was hours in before realising I really, really needed to read the manuals or FAQ's online to figure out HOW to play them. Then with 3 and NV I needed to spend a bunch of time reading forums and downloading patches to make them run. By the time I got to 4 I spent all my time googling to see what I needed to know before I started, and it turned out it was...nothing. It just worked. But I managed to spoil a bunch of it for myself.
Your uploads are one of my favourite things to see. Fallout 3 is my favourite game of all time, next to Half-Life 2 and when I got every achievement (twice) I said, "Right, I'll wait for a remake." It's been 10 fucking years now and I still can't watch Fallout 3 content like this and MATN videos because I'm trying to regrow my Fallout 3 virginity for the inevitable remake, so I can re-experience it as fresh as possible.
One day, I will watch this. Until that day, take my comment and like.
Yeah there won’t be a remake
If youre a huge fan of the game you might wanna avoid watching this anyway. Its a little too accurate about how it holds up 13 years later.
I've been playing fo3 for 10 years now and I'm still playing it to this day, I have four other fallout games (One, Two, Tactics, New Vegas) and fallout 3 gets played 100x more, I'm astonished I keep finding new things.
I love the emptiness of fallout 3. It’s probably my favorite fallout game
I have a favorite memory from Fallout 3.
Basically, I had a friend over, we were both teenagers at the time, and I was low on health so I decided to drink from a pond of water. I drank for a few seconds, but ended up getting hit from behind. I turned around to see a Super Mutant was hitting me and my friend made a Chowder reference, saying "None shall take of it!".
Fallout 3 is definitely a great game, not because it has interesting mechanics or branching paths or anything of the sorts, but mostly because it's a fun exploration game, seeing the sights for the first time was always great. I ended up getting lost and never doing the main quest until I was sick and stayed home from school one day. Otherwise, I would just spend hours walking around, looking at new things while destroying any enemy I came across.
"All the Fallout 2 fans (you know, all seven of them)" why must you continue to hurt me this way re: my unfiltered nostalgia for fiddly oldschool CRPGs, mister up is not jump? o:
Oh my gods... Ohmahdon Lives... Funny seeing you here
So who are the other 5 fans of F2?
thing is: alot of the fallout games' storytelling inside of locations only works, because people in this postapocalyptic world are literate and obssesed with keeping diarys and write it even while bleeding out in an empty basement. that always rubbed me the wrong way. yes, i now that "would it be realistic, you would only find a skeleton without any context, making it boring" but thats fallouts problem anyway. in order for the fantasy setting to work, they bend so many rules, that it doesnt feel right. some things still work after 200 years, while they soaked up so much radiation, that you could use them as nuclear fuel and the world decided to use bottlecaps as money, which is also located in locations and closed safes, that are still untouched from before the war, because the player needs motivation to loot stuff. and bank in fallout would look like this: ghouls inside, 20 broken terminals for whatever reason, yet 1 ist still working, showing a mail exchange about an inside plot to rob money out of the vault when cleanup happens and a bribed service technician, that implemented a backup code, to open the vault without any alarm. you find the code, open the vault, find 20 gold bars, 50 stacks of prewar money, trinkets.... and 250 bottlecaps and a legendary raider left arm armor piece.. because fuck logic.
If 3 is a nightmare then 4 is a heart attack in your sleep.
Storytelling has been a weakness of Bethesda's for a long time. Some of their side-quests are pretty good but main quests are usually average or "meh". To me their Fallout games are their weakest because they try too hard to shove a story in your face while the Elder Scrolls games, after the annoying intro sections that shouldn't exist, let you wander off and role-play the unique character you created. BGS games are at their best when the player creates the story but Fallout 3 doesn't really want you to do that, instead it wants you to follow Bethesda's story.
It's still a great game though lol.
This is because they have the same guy since elder scrolls 3 write the main story, and the side ones are up to other workers of the game to come up with, and it's why I enjoy hearing about them from youtubers.
Be warned if you say you like fallout 3, some nerd might make an 8 hour video on you.
I'm pretty sure getting the Broken Steel expansion allow you to survive the ending..
Upisnotjump content just seems to never get old, it’s amazing and I love it. Plus, it evolves in quality as well.
"Convincing this advanced supercomputer not to kill himself and everyone else around him is the real challege here"
So what you're saying is... President Eden just works
I remember playing through this for the first time and being extremely pissed when I beat the main story and couldn't continue playing after
"save early, save often!" (al lowe)
To expand on the idea of the Fallout 3 ending slides, may I point to the wasteland survival guide? This thing literally shows up in a few places in New Vegas, showing that it has in fact helped people. The best possible outcome for it would be Moira managing to make enough off of it to hire people to make copies, eventually becoming a standard item someone living in the capital wasteland would own.
