There's no denying that Fallout 3 is one humongous game, full of more nuances than you'll initially be able to wrap your mind around. That's where this robust basics section comes into play. We've split the section into three parts. The first part is for gamers new to western RPGs, Bethesda games, or RPG-shooter hybrids in general. It's there that you can get all of the vital information that will help you survive during your visit in the violent Capital Wasteland. Advanced Tactics is a section for those comfortable with Fallout 3 but want some intermediate and expert level help to increase the potency of their skills. And lastly, of course, our patented Ten Tips section will give you ten things to think about when going into your dystopian adventure.
