One of which is the game crashing right after the player clicks on the New button to start a new game. The game was, however, developed to run on the clunky computers of the previous decade and as a result, users trying to run the game on the newer and more powerful PCs operating on the latest and greatest of Windows face some issues. Although, more than a decade after its release, Fallout 3 still attracts a lot of gamers and reigns as one of the most loved and played games around the world. Fallout 3 was followed by the release of Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. It is also one of the primary reasons why gamers around the globe love Bethesda Game Studios’ post-apocalyptic Fallout game series. Also, a research conducted in 2015, estimated that nearly 12.5 million copies of the game had been sold! The list includes multiple Game of the Year awards for the year 2008 and some for 2009, Role-Playing Game of the Year, Best RPG, etc. Launched in 2008, the game has won numerous awards and accolades. It's no Shivering Isles, and it still lacks the depth that we want from Fallout DLC, but it's very much worth your time and money.Fallout 3 is unquestionably one of the greatest role-playing games ever made. It's consistently engrossing, explosive and impressive to the eye, and while its conclusion bares a remarkable similarity to the events in Raven Rock, we can forgive Bethesda. Considering the magnitude of what happens at the end of Fallout 3, during the weeks before Broken Steel takes place and its eventual conclusion, you're left with a big gun and nothing much else. After what is apparently a significant act - which we won't spoil - you're left with a remarkably untouched wasteland. While literally explosive at first, it comes to a somewhat abrupt end, and the world itself remains unchanged. The advancement of the storyline is substantial and a great big step in the right direction.īroken Steers storyline, as is the case with all of the DLC so far, is a bit damp. The Wanderer can continue to explore Washington State, reach Level 30, and can gain several new, if not mind-bendingly awesome, perks.

This is why it's welcome that Broken Steel demands that you've reached the point just before that said ending, so that it can conveniently re-write it at the last second and provide a slightly more sensible one.īroken Steel is probably the most substantial Fallout 3 DLC yet, feeling like a cohesive part of both the Fallout lore and the main plotline of the game rather than an afterthought. It didn't make too much sense and - without spoiling anything - had one gigantic, lumbering, nucleated plot hole. One Might Say that the ending of Fallout 3 was a bit of a non-ending.
