Fight, sneak, steal, and negotiate your way through a huge, post-apocalyptic DC as you look for your father and help to complete his life goal.

Plot Overview
Your character, the Lone Wanderer, was born in Vault 101, which has been isolated underground since the world was devastated by nuclear war. When your father escapes the vault after a fight with the Overseer, you’re forced to flee as well. The world outside is not completely demolished, and a fledgling society struggles to rebuild itself in the face of threats from mutants, raiders, and the remainders of the US government. Your epic quest takes you through the ruins of Washington DC to find your father and help him rebuild the Wasteland.
My Opinion
I love this game. I’ve played it over and over again; not surprisingly, I love the ‘karma’ system. You can choose to be good or bad, and you get karma points, which in turn change how non-player characters treat you, and changes certain parts of the story. Dystopian fiction gets me every time, so seeing an environment in which our world has collapsed and isolated city states have taken over is really entertaining. As if you couldn’t already tell, the environment of this game is definitely the best part; It’s huge, detailed, and exciting. There are hundreds of locations to discover and a ton of side-quests that take you throughout the game’s world. I also like the detail put into every aspect of the game, especially the characters and their relationships; you can see the real human struggles that would actually arise in this kind of a situation
tl;dr
This game has a great replay value; you can explore it over and over again. If you are looking for a single player shooter with longevity, this is the best game you can get.
