Holy crap what a masterpiece By the way, there are no achievements and Steam doesn't track time played. I beat the game after around 30 hours, but I barely explored the map, and maybe did half the side quests. Launching it is weird. here is the video i used to figure out how to launch the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWxFwvEP3DE 10/10 game. zero flaws
one of the most peakest fallout games BUT for all my lovely players that are trying to play fallout 3, u need a specialized patching mod to play this game, js search up "fallout 3 patches" or "fallout 3 anniversary patcher" and it should show up ! hopefully this helps n welcome in the newest vault dwellers !

This is, in my opinion, the best fallout game. New Vegas is still PEAK dont get me wrong, and fallout 1 and 2 are absolutely fire. But fallout 3 and the CAPITAL wasteland just hits so different. yeah it has its flaws, but coming into fallout 3 as my first fallout game, it was SO awesome seeing the brotherhood, and the enclave at war for the first time. this game is baller, and don't let haters keep you down for enjoying PEAK
