Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fallout 3 is a special title in gaming for several reasons. For one, it is the first title in the series made by Bethesda, marking its move to an FPS over a CRPG. Another reason is that it is beloved by the community, so much so that there is a mod for Fallout 4 called Capital Wasteland, in which devoted fans are seeking to recreate the entirety of the third title in Fallout 4, with the sequel's better graphics and gameplay.
This would not be as noticeable if Fallout 4 hadn't improved crafting as significantly as it did. Weapons can be modded to change their fundamental uses, upgraded, and given attachments. This aids in the wasteland survival feel of the game, as well as makes every weapon feel more personal to the player. The lack of equipment durability also means that these weapons are here to stay, which is helpful for gear that a player has personally put a lot of effort into.
Motion capture could have been used for Fallout 3 to alleviate these problems, as with titles released around the same time. Uncharted and Bioshock were released a year before and both have stellar animations to keep them from feeling too aged. Animation has improved as Bethesda has worked on more projects, but it is still a valid criticism the studio faces for its more recent works, like Starfield.
Fallout 3 uses the Gamebryo engine, which was originally released in 1997. For Skyrim, Bethesda moved to its Creation Engine, which has been upgraded to Creation Engine 2 for future projects. Related How Big Starfield's Map Is & Is It The Biggest Open-World Game Ever Starfield boasts one of the most extensive and immersive worlds in gaming history, but does it have the largest open-world map ever? Even then, both Skyrim and Fallout 4's world maps only take up a fraction of The Witcher 3's, Red Dead Redemption 2's and Grand Theft Auto 5's. Players returning to Fallout 3 may remember the world being bigger than it actually is, thanks to nostalgia.
