How did you get into Fallout 3 : Fallout Series Discussion

» Mon Aug 02, 2010 11:10 am

seen the advert (Which is how I came across nearly all of my games.)

Luck, I guess.
I was in the store and saw the Special Edition (with the Vault-Tec lunchbox and Bobblehead) for only ?20 (Curiously, the normal version of the game was still at ?40, which was weird, considering this was a new item, not preowned). I figured "Why not?"

I played Fallout 2 first.

Fallout 1 and 2 were my parents, they raised me.

I found that Oblivion is one of the couple of RPG games I can actually play, NeverWinter Nights being pretty much the only other (both 1 and 2).

I found that I really, really liked Oblivion, so much so that I continued to play even after completing pretty much every quest, because I just love it.

It's because of the fact that Fallout 3 is so much like Oblivion, that I like Fallout 3 so much.

So my number of playable RPG games has increased from 2 to 3, which is excellent.

Chances are I will like every game that Beth brings out in the Fallout series and in the Elder Scrolls series from this point, so it will be increasing from 3 to (who knows) in the future, can't wait.

I got it as a Christmas present, but I didn't get round to playing it 'till around March. Loved every bit of it.

Yeah this is my first Fallout game I was really interested to buy it when it came out then in my b-day I bought it was a little confused at first but I knew how to play after a little while.

Speaking of birthdays, I bought Fallout 3 a couple of weeks ago and decided to wait until I went on vacation from work during my birthday and install and play it and I had so much fun this past week doing nothing but playing this game. I decided to buy it from reading a review in a game mag and seeing some footage on Gametrailers...best investment this year!

I got into the series with Fallout 1/2, and played Fallout 3 because I liked them.

Once I was playing Cod 4 Search and Destroy, I died from a grenade right in the beggining.

Well so did 2 guys on the other team.

They were like dude I have had enough Im gonna go play some Fallout.
Other guy: Ya same here.
Me: I read something a while ago about that how is it?
Its godly, ya dude you should check it out.

Then I bought it.

Fried told me about oblivion, morrowind etc.

Played oblivion, loved it.

Got Fallout 3, loved it. End o' story.

I started with FO1, then played Wasteland. Then FO2 and Tactics, then FO3.

saw previews of it at E3 '08, and thought it would be awesome, and it was, so my friends got it for me for my birthday, though they could have waited for christmas, since there is less than a weeks differance between the two.

and, i saw that it was being made by Bethesda, and i love the TES series, so it was a probably going to be good.

I played Fallout and Fallout 2 back in the day, but was too young to really enjoy them as much as I do now. I played Morrowind when I was like 19, and it was a very formative game in my life... I became a hardcoe Bethesda fan overnight, really.

So, I came to FO3 as a fan of both, but I would be lying if I didn't say Bethesda fandom was the most important at the time.

Fallout 2, got it before I got Fallout - logistics of borrowing it, heh. Surprised at the number of Oblivion votes though.

» Mon Aug 02, 2010 11:49 am

I started with Wasteland. When news started coming out about Interplay making a sort of spiritual successor to that game (and since at the time I'd buy pretty much anything Interplay put out,) I bought Fallout 1 the day it came out. (Plus, I've always been kind of a nut for the post-apocalyptic genre, so Fallout had been on my radar regardless...)

Knew it was a Beth. game so I figured it would be good.

More-or-less this. What actually happened was that I saw a friend playing it (which let me know some of it's mechanics) and I asked him about it.

I learned it was from Bethesda.

That jumped it's desireablility for me from "maybe I'll like this" to "I must have this!"

I saw it at last year's E3 and was in love with it immediately. I then tried to learn everything I could about the series using the Vault.

I had heard all the hoopla about oblivion which at the time was still only on Xbox so with me on PS3 i filed it away for the day when i bought an Xbox too. Then some time after i was on gametrailers and i see the trailers(debut & 5 gameplay) and immediately decide i must have that game and realise the devs also made oblivion which is now on PS3 as a GOTY so i buy it to keep myself occupied till Fallout3 hits the shelves. I now have one of the greatest games ever made. :tops:

» Mon Aug 02, 2010 7:26 am

It was a Bethesda game, so I figured I couldn't go wrong with it.

» Mon Aug 02, 2010 8:24 am

I heard that F3 was "Oblivion with guns"

Says it all.....

» Mon Aug 02, 2010 5:50 am

Since Wasteland, with fat freddie and the original post-apocalypse Vegas!

» Mon Aug 02, 2010 1:16 am

By chance a friend of mine had borrowed Fallout 2 from his friend on it's release year and he asked me if knew - or could figure out - how to play it. Been playing it ever since and completed all other fallouts except tactics. So naturally I got to F3 from that route.

I just Bought it one day when I first got My 360 I was dying to have it ever since I read a review for it....I also bought Oblivion that day aswell...it happened to be the Best Shopping day of my life

» Mon Aug 02, 2010 12:46 am

Truth be told, I almost didn't buy it because it was a Beth game. Although I played the first two a little bit, I never really got into them, so I would consider 3 my first one. I liked what I had played though, and was afraid Bethesda would mess it up, because I still felt pretty disappointed with Oblivion. Luckily, I was wrong. It's a great game, and I'm glad I did get it.
