(I played this game through the Tale of Two Wastelands Mod for Fallout: New Vegas, so my playtime isn't accurate and is closer to 120-ish hours.)

That said, this game ROCKS... for the most part. I mean, about 80% of the writing is kind of stupid. The main story is awful, and the majority of quests are either nonsensical or just poorly executed, further showcasing why Bethesda never really understood Fallout or its tone. However, considering this is their first adaptation of the franchise, it's more understandable.

The DLC lineup is also pretty mediocre. Point Lookout stands out as the exception, offering an eerie atmosphere and some solid storytelling. The rest? Forgettable at best, and in the case of The Pitt, downright awful.

Fallout 3 has absolutely aged like a milk-wine concoction: there's still some fermentation, but a hint of curdling (from... the milk). 7/10.
