Fallout 3

This week I will be going back a couple years to 2008's Game of the Year, Fallout 3. This game was created by Bethesda, who also made Skyrim, and it is the same format, but is set when the world is destroyed by nuclear war, and you are a lone survivor who has to save the wasteland by finding a way to fix the wasteland's only water purifying plant. Just like Skyrim you have the choice of being the wasteland's hero or the evil wasteland killer. You start off by creating you character, and then you are forced from your home in an underground vault, and you have to find your father who up and disappeared out of nowhere. This game offers lots of weapon choices, that have to be repaired and maintained vigorously or else they will break in the middle of battle.

The enemies you fight can be just normal human raiders that want to rule the wasteland, mutated super mutants and ghouls, or the Enclave soldiers that are trying to stop your father, and take the purifier to have to themselves. This game offers a long main quest, but also allows you to go and complete tons of smaller side quests to help you level up, and become even stronger. One big aspect to this game is the ability to acquire teammates to help you along the road. Some teammates you are allowed are your faithful dog, Charon the slave, and Butch. You are only allowed to have one human and a dog at a time, and all characters have a certain criteria you must reach in order for them to follow you. Butch for example isn't bad or good, so you must be neutral. This is a great game, but since it is an older one i will make it a must rent.
