I hate to depress everyone, but the credit crunch is biting hard, and capitalism is on its knees. It’s tempting to find a way to relieve the dark, depressing reality of modern life. How about a bit of joyful escapism to take your mind off everything? Wii Sports can be quite the tonic, you know. But there’s another way to get away from it all: remind yourself that, however bad the situation is, things could be a whole lot worse. Enter Fallout 3.
A post-apocalyptic United States is the happy, breezy setting for Bethesda’s latest time-sink. Mankind is on its knees, brought to the brink of extinction by nuclear war, irradiated by the landscape it’s destroyed. The remaining pockets of humanity are struggling to survive in shanty towns constructed entirely from scrap, or hiding out in the remnants of the country’s shattered cities, away from the Super Mutants, Ghouls, and other creatures marauding the Wastelands of the ravaged USA. Your character starts life as an infant being brought up by your scientist father in Vault 101 – a facility designed to keep a select few alive below the irradiated surface. No one can get in. No one can leave. At least, that’s what the Overseer would have everyone believe.
