This is most completely involving game I've ever played. It is set in America after a nuclear war, presumably in the 1950s (if the rate of scientific discovery was a lot faster)
You start in Vault 101, which seems relatively safe, if not a little boring; nobody's allowed out as outside is a wasteland and you'd certainly die out there. You spend the first couple of days having to do seemingly menial tasks for your Dad; who's the doctor in the vault. One day, your dad vanishes and all hell breaks loose, the overseer of the vault putting a price on your head and you have to get the hell out of there. When you get out ou find yourself in the post-apocalyptic, nuclear-war devastated "Capital Wasteland", (Washington D.C.) the entire area is full of radiation crazed gangs and monstrous animals which all want a piece of you, with even those who're vaguely mentally stable are civil to you only doing so out of greed. You just need to find your dad.
The game-play is incredible, first person or third person real time with a whole variety of weapons, leveling-up in various skills and an enormous map with the way you play through the game completely up to you. The idea of perks (special abilities), VATS (slow-motion special attacks) and karma all really add up to this being a fantastic game.
