======================================II. INTRODUCTION

======================================

I haven't made a FAQ in quite a while, but vast fun I have had playingFallout 3 plus the fact is has tons of quests, locations, and things to domade me decide to make a complete walkthrough of the game, from beginning to


5/77

end. And to enjoy everything that you can get out of it.

Fallout 3 is the 3rd game of the Fallout series. The first 2 were major hitsand cult classics, with incredible plot and substance to satisfy the RPGgamer in everyone. Fallout 3 was changed a little. It is now a first personshooter, where as the previous 2 were top down turn based combat games.Because Fallout 3 is a first person shooter, many things were changed in the

game that wouldn't work in a non-turn based game. Many good things were leftout because of this, but the overall fun is still there, making for a fun gamewith a huge world to explore.Things to note. The game is a first person SHOOTER. This means that combat

is a lot harder than with a turn based game, because you actually have to aimand attack things manually instead of a system where your stats affect howgood you hit. There is an adjusted V.A.T. combat system that helps with thepopular aiming that Fallout 1 and 2 had. Sadly they didn't extend this to allweapons, so guns are the only weapons you can aim at body parts. That doesn'tmake the other weapons any less fun, just not as beneficial as guns.

There are also FAQS which explain the combat system, stats, perks, and otherthings. I won't go over those here. I will simply tell you what to pick andwhat to do. Saves a lot of reading.

Some things to remember1) Always heal by resting if possible. 1 hours rest in a bed will heal all

your wounds. Save your healing Stims for emergencies.2) Early on use melee weapons and save ammo. Save the ammo for the harder

foes. Most weaker enemies can be beaten with melee weapons easy.3) Save often. Fallout 3 has a lot of glitches, such as getting stuck in

objects, lockups, etc. Save often. I'll try and tell you when.4) Do not use any books until level 5 when you get the Comprehension perk.

This doubles all book raises from 1 point to 2. Well worth it.

======================================III. PROLOGUE
