    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.

    I'm playing this for the first time, any tips?

    Just don't worry about it an kill the girl's father in the beginning. It has no repercussions, and the result is the same (although a little sad).

    go here, go inside and flick the electric switch so you can go down stairs, follow the hall way and use the control panel to open the big door. Go inside do what the robot says when you meet him. You may have to run past some meanies to get there but just keep running, there are only rats inside so easy peasy.

    That certainly is blowing through it.
     
    Here's a guide some members worked on if you start to like the game bit a more. It'll be good to start off with.

    Damn, that guide is actually very good, I'm not sure if the guide feature is underused on Giantbomb but I think I'll be looking at them from now on, maybe even get one going myself.

    Conserve ammo. You don't want to be caught fighting super mutants with no ammo

    @TwoOneFive: If you are an Oblivion fan then get yourself ready for a disappointment. As someone who sank more 268 hours  into Morrowind and more then 200 hours into Oblivion I made the mistake of buying Fallout 3 before renting it because it was made by Bethesda. BOY! you can imagine my otter surprise when 13 hours into the game I realized that I wasn't into this game and it's actually a complete bore-fest.

    @TwoOneFive:
    Small guns. Master it. They're the most plentiful and if you master them early, no other weapon really matters. Maybe energy weapons, but if you're trying to blow through it, then Small Guns will get you there.

    It doesn't sound like you were playing it right, wanting to blow through Fallout 3? Not the way it's meant to be played.

    That's a shame. The game's only really good if you do sidequests. I thought the main story was boring.

    If you're going to bash a game, state your reasons. Otherwise, I really don't care for your opinion in any way, shape, or form. As for the main story, it is fairly boring, though Oblivion also suffered from the same flaw.
