I just got Fallout 3 to lead me up to Skyrim. This is my first Fallout game. Any hints and tips on how to play?

Have you played Oblivion?

[IronSabbath88]

Know what type of weapons you'll want to use and STICK TO IT. If you want to focus on Energy Weapons (Laser, Plasma) do NOT put points into useless stats like Big Guns. Same goes for Small Guns. Don't waste your points on Energy Weapons or Unarmed. You'll find you'll be able to max out a lot of other key stats quickly (Like Lockpick, Barter, Medicine and the like)

[Rockworm503]

Play it the way you want. There is no wrong way to play Fallout 3 in my experience.

[Weiser_Cain]

Sneak, repair, and pick a weapon type, only deviate to qualify for perks. Shoot stuff in the head.

[Sundance31us]

Do you suppose OP has Broken Steel installed?

[Homebound]

heavily hacked and modded.

For your first playthrough I'd reccomend Repair as a tag skill and one weapon type. Small guns, Melee or Unarmed are probably your best weapon choices for the first time. The others are a little harder to start with. Small guns includes all types of conventional pistols & rifles and is a great starter choice if you like being at ranged.

For your third tag skill, I prefer Speech to maximize roleplay options. Can be very helpful on the first playthrough. Lockpicking is also a great choice.

But really you can tag any three skills you find the most interesting from an RP standpoint and have fun with it. The Fallout Games are specifically designed with that in mind.

Perk-wise, take whatever looks fun. But I'd highly reccomend taking Educated at level 4 to maximize your skill points. Take Comprehension on the next level to double the free skill points you get from books in the world. Save any skill books you get until you pick up that perk.

Your first Fallout game should be the original.

[Volus Warlord]

The only one I played was New Vegas, and the Cannibal perk SUCKED! It was borderline useless.

[KenKenpachi]

With a controller or keyboard, eyes are a must. Hands will aid you greatly as well.

Decide to be evil or good and stick too it. talk to people and do not always hunt down people that shoot at you.
Tip for Evil char: On minefeild quest get only the mines you need for moira and stay away from sniper till you are given the slavers quest. My tag skills at early levels were lockpick, agility and sneak. Best first perks for me were black widow and daddys girl.
Also this is good advice.

also Jack is right about speech skill and educated Perk, get it as soon as its available. Skill books are not needed unless you are a completionist , I ignore comprehension.
Most useful weapons/commerce skill for me was repair and explosives. Sell guns and melee, collect and make mines for killing. Everything chases you.
Repair makes Barter obsolete, good condition gets top dollar. you only need both if addicted to bottlecap mines.

Edit: Remember the quick save button before entering new areas or suffer the consequences!

You should have bought NV instead, much better Fallout RPG than 3.

Melee and unarmed FTW. Nothing beats a gigantic mutant like the good ol' back of your hand!

use sledgehammer

[Lord Phoebus]

Unarmed is insanely good with the deathclaw gauntlet (ignores armor), Paralyzing Palm and the Grim Reaper's Sprint. You can exploit the AI by hiding behind cover and waiting for enemies come around the corner and charge straight at you. With a high stealth skill you can normally hide and claw every enemy you encounter to death (even on the highest difficulty setting).

I found small arms were the best ranged weapons, they're plentiful, you can keep them stocked with ammo and they have the best damage to weight ratio of all the weapons. The hunting rifles in particular will kill most enemies from stealth and are easy to come by and keep stocked with ammo. Energy Weapons do crappy damage (the exception being the Gauss Rifle), but they ignore armor and they are fast. They tend to be hard to find until you get to a fairly high level and the Talon mercs start dropping them. Big guns are expensive and heavy, they do the best damage, but you burn through caps keeping them repaired and in ammo. Bottlecap mines are also cheap to craft and really good at killing enemies, don't forget to include them in your arsenal and tactics.

Your tag skills don't really matter, other than helping out a bit at the beginning (In the first two fallouts tag skills halved the number of points you have to spend to increase a skill, so they defined your character). In Fallout 3 they give 15 points to the skill, which doesn't matter once you start exploring. So take melee weapons, small arms and stealth to start. Once you leave the vault, you can reassign them, so change them to explosives, repair and lockpick and head to Megaton (or keep stealth and sneak along the coast to Rivet City for the intelligence bobblehead.)

Don't raise any of your starting stats over 9, because you can find bobbleheads to get them to 10. Intelligence is the most important stat because skills have a much stronger influence on gameplay than stats and intelligence gives you more skillpoints, I recommend starting it at 9 (I treat luck as a dump stat to start and then increase it with perks), get the intelligence bobblehead as soon as you're in the wasteland and pick up the educated and comprehension perks as soon as you can (even if you don't hunt for skill books you'll find enough of them to warrant the perk). Apart from that I suggest you focus on perks that generally improve unarmed, stealth and small guns (ignore the perks that improve damage against certain types of enemies). Also don't take the perks that give you a level or increase your experience, you'll get more than enough XP to reach max level.

I agree, but I'd presume he's looking for a game that plays almost exactly like Oblivion or Skyrim, so F3 and F:NV are his best options.

Those games suck because Tina Fey said so

[Jonp382]

First time playing Fallout 3, don't install Broken Steel. I wouldn't bother with any of the other DLCs either, tbh.

[Addai]

Examine every object. There's some stuff you will not want to miss on your way out of the vault. Like something sitting on Dad's desk.

One mistake I made early- stealing has consequences. If someone catches you, the whole town in you're in goes hostile and you have to kill everybody, or run away and come back in a few days game time. I still steal like crazy, but I do so in sneak mode and make sure the tag says "Hidden."

Repair, Lockpick and Small Guns are my staple skills to build up. I put a few points in Speech but you can always save and reload conversations- there is a chance you could pass speech checks by random.

A good way to get early XP is to go to Megaton (1st settlement outside the vault) and do the local quests and pick up Moira's Wasteland Survival Kit quests. You'll get an opportunity to, um, significantly change the local landscape. That will affect whether you can finish Megaton quests or not. You might want to finish them before doing anything drastic to the town.

Have fun- it's an awesome game- I am still playing after countless hours in it.

[HoonDing]

You get a perk each level, and so many skill points (even with moderate intelligence) that it is almost impossible not to max out all your skills (especially since skill books are abundant as well). So basically you can try out everything and play however you want.

   That's why he should play 1 & 2.  Because they don't play like Oblivion and Skyrim.

Minus the fact some people don't like top down CRPG's *gasp*

Always be on the lookout for hair pins. Always. And don't don't take on anything you can't handle; build up your skills.
