Hello, this time I will be talking about the gameplay and story line of the game called Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is a shooter game that is recreated based from 1950's American Dream and  from the original Fallout game released in 1997.

The story diverges from our history after the World War 2. After World War 2, things did not go calm like our history. Energy and oil runs low in US causing US to invade Mexico to seize its oil supply. Resource Wars begins when many nations in Europe goes bankrupt and responds with Middle East’s rise in oil price with military actions. United Nations fell apart through many intense debates and heated arguments. Seeking alternatives to oils, electrics and fusion cars begins to be manufactured. The Resource Wars ended when oil fields in Middle East run dry, result in the European Commonwealth to dissolves into separated nations, fighting over each other for the remaining resources. China, with its crisis on oil shortages, decided to invade Alaska. US, seeing Canada as key supply line, annex Canada in 2076. Finally the Great War begins in 2077 with the nuclear warheads exchanged by all nations worldwide. Who launched the first warhead is unknown, but other nations, seeing warheads flying, launched their own warheads. The Great War lasted for only two hours; the result is far worse than anyone could have anticipated. The earth’s crust shifted, radiations spread all over the world, black rain fells, resulting in plants and animals go rapidly to extinct or mutated. This is only the post gameplay’s story.

Before the Great War, the company called the Vault Tec has created nuclear shelters called the Vaults all over US. Many years after the Great War, vaults begin to open up, releasing millions of people into the remains of their nation. However, there was a vault called Vault 101; its inhabitant has decided to seal themselves inside the vault and refuse to interact with the outside world.  The story begins 200 years after the Great War, when the player’s father escaped from the Vault 101. The player, pursues by the vault’s security, also escaped and found him or herself in the ruins of Washington DC which is presently called the Wasteland. The player, then, begins the search for his father. 

The gameplay allows the player to explore Washington DC, talk and persuade people to get a lowered price in trading, hack computers to get information about the events, and pick locks to steal the content inside. The gameplay also featured the Karma system, which any bad actions you do, such as stealing and harming good people would result in losing Karma, and any good actions you do, such as helping others, fighting bandits, and saving peoples would result in gaining Karma. The player’s Karma level effects how people react to you when you pass by.

Now, back to the story, after the player finds his or her father, their reunion was interrupted by the US government's soldiers, the Enclave. The Enclave sought to takeover the project that the player's father has been working on called Project Purity. The Project Purity is the project that aims to purify the water of entire Wastelands, to bring back life. The player's father, then, sacrifices himself to protect the project, though unsuccessful, he was able to give time for the player and other scientists to escape to their ally, the Brotherhood of Steel.
