About This Game

Fallout 3 is a genre-defining post-apocalyptic RPG that thrusts you into the ruins of Washington D.C., now known as the Capital Wasteland. Two hundred years after the Great War of 2077, you emerge from the sealed sanctuary of Vault 101 as the Lone Wanderer, forced into a desolate world to find your missing father. The story is a desperate journey through a shattered landscape where the remnants of the United States government—the Enclave—clash with the Brotherhood of Steel for control over the region's future. From the iconic ruins of the Washington Monument to the irradiated depths of the D.C. Metro, every corner of the wasteland offers a grim story of survival. Experience the revolutionary V.A.T.S. combat system, allowing you to pause time and rain down tactical destruction on Super Mutants, Feral Ghouls, and ruthless Raiders. Whether you choose to be the savior of the wastes by bringing clean water to the masses, or a harbinger of chaos by detonating the nuclear heart of Megaton, your choices define the morality of a dying world. In the Capital Wasteland, life is cheap, resources are scarce, and the shadow of the Great War looms over every rusted skyscraper—but for the first time in centuries, the fate of the capital is in your hands.
