So I have about 380 something saves with about 4 or 5 characters. I went to the most recent saves for each character and added them together to get about 130+ hours. Whew!
Fallout 3
Game » consists of 45 releases. Released Oct 28, 2008
In Bethesda's first-person revival of the classic post-apocalyptic RPG series, the player is forced to leave Vault 101 and venture out into the irradiated wasteland of Washington D.C. to find his or her father.
How many hours have you put into Fallout 3?
my current playthrough over 100, before that like 50, and before that like 30 or so.
i started over alot cause i learnt new things and didn't know the lvl cap was 20 or how to perfect my stats.

55 hours on the PC and another 15-20 for the 360. 1 character on each. After seeing this thread last night, I went in and completed the main story line. Reached level 20 just before the start of the final mission, "Take it back!" Now to get Broken Steel.
I have Fallout 3 on Steam, does anyone know if there is a conflict if I buy Broken Steel off of Windows Live and try to play it with my Steam version? Thanks!
about 13 hours, got bored, traded it in, never bothered to finish it. what a bore.
Last night I finished up the last of the side quests (sans "Strictly Business" since I'm playing a good guy), have played through both Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt, and about half of the main quest missions. In between I did a few little things like grab some out of the way bobbleheads and take down all of the Super Mutant Behemoths. That clocked me in at about fifty-five hours.
To put that into even more perspective I'm using the strategy guide so I've pretty much been on rails from one objective to another. This is a long ass game.
It's impossible to say. Since many of my Fallout sessions come at night, I have woken up many times to see my character just standing there doing nothing after I've fallen asleep for hours on the couch with a controller in my hand...
On my main character I've put in about 71 hours, that includes DLC. On my secondary character I've got about 20 hours in. I've only done the main story and broken steel with that one.
I beat the game in 25 hours, with a few side missions done. I traded it in after that. Maybe I'll get the PS3 ultimate edition in the fall, the one that comes with all the DLC. I still have all my saves.
About 10 or less hours total then I got bored of it. Doubt I'll ever go back and finish it, ... [more]
Played through completely as good (minus 2 evil side quests and 1 glitched quest), over half way through on an evil playthrough, and completed the first two DLC packs with both. Altogether, probably over 100 hours or so.
8 hours. I hate it, seriously one of the most boring and frustrating games ever. The endless dialogue is boring, the quests are boring until you start combat, then it gets insanely frustrating trying to fight off Super Mutants, only to have them kill me and remove 20 minutes of progress. Even if the game gets good later, it's unbearable now.
"@MB: Too busy playing Street Fighter IV eh? ...I swear that's all you play whenever I see you online, besides your brief visit with The Godfather 2. You should really give the game another shot...I hated it for probably the first 6 hours, but I really started to love the game after my character was a bit more powerful and the combat actually felt at least decent by then."
That's what everyone should be doing with their spare time :P
Something like 70 hours I beleive, but i've been everywhere and done everything aside from 2 achievements, bobbleheads and hacked computer (I missed the vault 101 and raven rock bobbles, and have been lockpicking instead of hacking) including everything there is to see in the DLC. I have all the best weapons and armor and thousands of rounds of ammunition for the best guns, eagerly awaiting point lookout dlc.
Some advice for those who are not very far in and are hating it. If you hate dialog, quests and eploring... gtfo and play a shooter you obviously prefer them. If you're finding it frustratingly difficult then go to a guide and follow the general tips section, saves me writing them out again. Fallout is a very unforgiving series and Bethesdas offering is no different, unless you know how to make the most of your loot and keep yourself topped up with a nice supply of stimpaks, you will find the game hella difficult. In those 70 hours, my stats page says i've used something like 600 stimpaks, but my combat is on hard from the get go. Switch yours to easy and you should find things a little easier.
about 20 hours with one character, iv been doing alot of side quests like collect the nuke cola and so on. i think im at the middle part of the main story but cant really remember because haven't played like in two months. I was planning to get back to the game because i wanted to explore all the DLC games but got disattractive with red faction and ghost buster, maybe after im done with those two ill head back.

You probably should have known about the dialogue before you got it
"The quests are boring until you start combat"
It's a role playing game, not a first person shooter
"...only to have them kill me and remove 20 minutes of progress"
Try saving?

"Too true, for people who hated it when they first played it give it roughly 10-15 hours of just wandering around doing stuff and by that time you'll fall in love with the game. It doesn't give a very good first impression but it takes a bit of time with the game to see where the charm is. Playing it for a few hours and saying it sucked does not do the game justice at all.
