Fallout 3 was the first three-dimensional Fallout game, an heir to the legend that was the original duology. It introduced several now-iconic elements to the gameplay and set the new template for all future games.

Let's start with the way Bethesda handled the RPG elements. Fallout's S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system remained intact, with a bit of restructuring when it came to perks and skills, seeing as how the new 3D environment demanded changes in the way a player could handle things. They also added the VATS mechanics that served as a substitute for turn-based combat mechanics. You could pause the combat and select who, when and how to strike. This worked surprisingly well for a 3D game that Fallout 3 became.

Speaking of the graphics, even back in the day they weren't the best. Jerky animations, muddy textures, doll-like models of humans - all that was and still is subject to criticism. The advantages of three dimensions, however, were vast open spaces that made you really feel like you're in the post-nuclear wasteland that Fallout is synonymous with. And the environmental designs are still amazing. Despite being set in a decaying world, Fallout 3 is a beautiful game in its own way. more
