Fallout 3 gives me a certain feeling when I play it. Like I'm never alone, even though I may be. I can always find something to do while playing, find some nook I never once found, an interaction between two raiders that makes me laugh, or a new weapon or build to try out. The gameplay is very good, the loop is incredible, and the best out of any game I've played like it.

And then there is the story. "In the vault you were born, and in the vault you will die," summarizes my favorite part of this games story, the complete life of the lone wander is shown; their growth from a small lad to the hero of the wastes, a legend to be remembered. I don't know why I like the story so much, it's very simple, but in spite of that it feel so impactful. The impact of the story also is complemented well with DC, the sprawling area gives the game an eeriness that I never felt with any other Fallout. It truly is the ultimate fallout experience.
