A Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

Photosensitive SeizuresA very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certainvisual images, including flashing lights or patterns thaI may appear in video games.Even peopie who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosedcondition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching

video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including Iightheadedness,altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss ofconsciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking

nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of thesesymptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the abovesymptoms-children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience theseseizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by takingthe following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; playin a well-1ft room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor

before playing.

INTRODUCTION TO FALLOUT 3

Nuclear war. The very words conjure images of mushroom clouds, gas masks, and bewildered

children ducking and covering under their school desks. But it's the aftermath of such aconflict that

truly coptures our imaginations, in large part because there's no real-world equivalent we can relate

to. Mankind may have witnessed the horror of the atomic bomb, but thankfully we've somehow

succeeded in not blowing up the entire planet. At least, not yet.

Fallout 3presents amuch grimmer reality. Imagine if, after World War II, the timeline hod split.

Our world forked into one branch, the Fallout universe the other. In that other branch, technology

progressed at amuch more impressive rate, while American society remained locked in the cultural

narms of the 1950's. It was on idyllic "warld of tomorrow," filled with servant robots, beehive

hairdos, and fusion-powered cars. And then in the year 2077, at the climax of a long'running war

with Chino, it all went to hell in aglobe-shonering nuclear war.

That's where you come in. Fallout 3 tokes place two hundred years later, in the year 2277, inpost-opocolyptic WoshingtonD.e. and its environs. The "Capitol Wasteland," as it has come to be

known, is anightmare landscape of raving Raider gongs, freakish Super Mutants, roning Feral Ghouls,

and malfunctioning military robots. It's agood thing you've been living underground far the post

nineteen years, safe and secure in on official Vault-Tee facility known as Vault 101. Everything is fine

and dandy, until your father - who has been the one constant in your life - decides to leave the vault

u n e x p e c t e d ~ , forcing you to follow in pursuit. So much for sofety.

Now here's the good news. When that giant vault door slides open and you're thrust into the harsh

sunlight of the Capitol Wasteland, you're completely free to make your own destiny. Follow after dear

old Dod ... ar forget he even exists. Head straight into the ramshackle town of Megaton, and meet its

eclectic inhabitants ... or shoot first and exchange pleasantries later.

That's r e a l ~ the most important thing to remember about Fallout 3- it's your game, so ploy it

the way you wont. There is no "right" way to ploy. Tryout the many skills and perks found inthis manual. Try using V.A.T.S., the all new combat system. But most of all, remember that each

challenge the game gives you has multiple ways of solVing it, and multiple outcomes. There are many

paths to success, and yes, the game does eventually "end." But how it ends is up to you, and the

character you ploy.

We here at Bethesda Game Studios hope you have as much fun adventuring in our world as we've

hod ereatingit. It's been on honor keeping the Fallout universe olive, and it's time far you to experi

ence that wonder all over again, or far the very first time, whichever the cose may be.

Oh, and one mare thing. When you finally catch up with Dod, be nice. Or not ...

Pressing and holding V will pause the game and scan the area for targets.

To zoom in on on enemy, simply select it and release v. You are now able to target the individualbody ports of that enemy.

When using a anged weapon, the percentoge value next to abody port indicates the chance to hd

that body part with each shot. The small bar next to the body part indicotes its condition; when the

condition of abody port is completely reduced, that body part is crippled, and the targeted enemy will

suffer the obvious ill effects - crippling the legs reduces movement speed and ony lunging o"acks;crippling the arms affects accuracy, etc.

When using amelee weapon or unarmed combat, you will need to be in close praximity to have achance

to hd. Both melee and grenades are "full body" o"ocks, and you connot target aspecific body port.

Every o"ock on abody port uses up Action Points. Generally, the smaller aweapon, the fewer Action

Points are required for every shot. Keep in mind that you're not limited to shooting at just one target

at any time, you can switch available targets, and o"ack them as well, so long as you hove remainingAction Points.

When you've used up all of your Action Points, and are ready to leave V.AlS., press E. The number

of a"acks you can make is limited by your Action Points.

The effects of being crippled depend on the limb. These effects apply to you as well as to

your enemies.

• Head: Reduced perception, concussion effect.• Arms: Reduced aiming ability. Enemies will be disarmed at the moment their arm is crippled.• Chest: Higher chance to be staggered when taking damage.• Legs: Reduced run speed. Enemies cannot perform leaping or charging a"acks.

Some enemies have Antennae or aCombat Inhibitor. Crippling that will couse them to frenzy,a"ocking anything near them.

AID

When you ore hurt, there ore severol woys to restore your heolth:

• Visit a doctor and pay for healing.

• Use aStimpok.

• Eat food or drink water.

• Sleep in a bed.

Each time you toke achern or drink alcohol, your chance of becoming addicted to it goes up. If you

stop using that item for awhile, this chance will drop. Each item has its own addiction chance, so

using one type will not increase your chance of becoming addicted to another.

Addiction will hurt some of your S.P.E.C.l.A.l. attributes. These penalties go away tempororily if you

toke that item again. But addiction will never weor off on its own. Adoctor can cure you of any addic

tion, for a price. You cannot become addicted to Stimpoks, Rod-X, or RadAwoy.

In order to heal acrippled limb, you have three choices: sleep in abed, find adoctor, or use aStimpak to heal yourself. Stimpaks can be used for generol healing (which will also slightly heal

crippling domage), or they con be applied d i r e c t ~ to a limb to heal crippling damage (which will also

slightly heal your overall health). To heal a crippled limb directly using aStimpok, navigate to the

Stats screen in your Pip-Bay, highlight the limb using the mouse, then select the limb and use the

Stimpak directly on that limb by pressing 5 when the limb is selected.

STEALTH

Your stealth state is displayed when you crouch (press L-Ctrl). [HIDDEN] means nobody detects

you. [DETEGED] means someone sees you, but is not c u r r e n t ~ on enemy. [CAUTION] means

someone is seorching for you. [DANGER] meons you have been detected by on enemy.

How stealthy you are is affected by many factors:

• Sneak skill: Your Sneak skill only helps you when you are crouching. The higher your

Sneak skill, the easier it is to remain undetected, steal on item, or pick someone's pockel.

• Enemy's perception: Some enemies are less perceptive than others, and therefore lesslikely to deted you.

• Une of sight: An enemy is much less likely to deted you if hecan't see you.

• Ught level: You are harder to see in darker areas,or at night, if you're outdoors.

• Movement: You are hardest to detect when motionless,easiest to detect when running.

• Apparel weight: Heavier apparel makes morenoise when moving.

• Sound: Most melee weapons make very liMlenoise; bigger guns make a ot of noise.

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

Crimes ore divided into lWo cotegories: major and minor.

Minor crimes couse only the victim to become hostile to you:

• Theft: If the owner sees you steal something that she owns, she will try to toke it bock

from you. If you try to escape, or persist in stealing from her, she will attock you (or run

for help). If you fight bock, you are now committing amajor crime (Assault, see below).

• Trespass: If the owner sees you open a ocked door, container, or computer, he will im-

mediately attock you.

Major crimes couse the victim and the victim's friends to become hostile to you:

• Assault: Attacking someone without provocation, or fighting back when someone attacks you

for aminor crime.

• Murder: If there ore witnesses who core about the victim, they will become hostile toword you.

If a fight storts that you did not intend, you con attempt to yield by holstering your weapon. This may

or may not be successful depending on how the attacker feels about you. If you've angered everyone

in a town and they ore attacking you, try leaving and coming bock afew days later after they've

colmed down. This will work for some towns ... but not all of them.

DIALOGUE

When in dialogue with achoracter, simply select the response that seems most appropriate to the

situation ... and be prepored for thechoracter you're talking with to react accordingly.

Occosionally, you will be presented with aSpeech Challenge. ASpeech Challenge is a response

preceded by the word "Speech" and the percentage chance of success (e.g., [Speech 25%]); the

higher your Speech skill, the greater the chance of success.

Succeed in aSpeech Challenge, and you'll achieve the results indicated by the response. Fail aSpeech

Challenge, and future Speech Challenges with fhal character will be more difficult.

From time to time you may also be presented with dialogue options where aword appears with no

percentage (e.g., [Strength] or [Lady Killer]). In this case, this is adialogue option that is available to

you because of the level of the indicoted S.P.E.C1.A.L., Skill, or Perk and you will always be successful

when selecting it. You only get one chance at each Speech Challenge, so if encounter one has a low

percentage to succeed, you may want to exit dialogue and try the Speech challenge at a later time,after you've raised your Speech skill.
