Fallout 3 was my intro to Fallout games and my 2nd Bethesda game after Oblivion.
I loved the storytelling and the ways you go about solving quests, the impact you have on the environment, and all the simple moments of quiet discovery exploring the wastelands of D.C.

The game is now cursed. I stoutly defended this game when there were solutions but I have searched for days and tried all solutions 3x over, Fallout 3 does not work with modern systems (at least mine).
Bethesda has done the equivalent of having someone order McDonalds Mcnugget meal and offering you a chicken and potato, enjoy the files that do not add up to a playable game.
