Fallout 3 was the first title I bought myself that had an 18+/M-rating, before that I had either been buying The Sims expansions or getting old hand second hand titles (Tomb Raider II, Fallout 1, The Simpsons Hit n Run, etc.). Thus it is with great nostalgia I look back on this game.

I recently started a final replay of the game, to play it with a more recent mindset. And what a game huh? Leaving the Vault for Springvale is still one of my most iconic gaming moments to this day. Together with the DLCs, I'd say that Fallout 3 is still, despite being a bit rough on the edges in the Gamebryo engine, a game that holds up. The story is simple, good vs evil, but exploring the Capital Wasteland is not only fun but genuinly interesting at times.

Coming to the DLCs; Point Outlook and The Pitt are clearly the better ones. Anchorage is a fun concept, Broken Steel is good if you want more out of the game and uhhh Mothership Zeta? We're not gonna talk about that, in fact we're not gonna talk about Mothership Zeta at all!

In conclusion; Fallout 3 is perhaps an aged classic but if you still want to relive the reboot of the Fallout series, go ahead.
