Fallout 3 takes place 200 years after the Great nuclear War in 2077 which almost killed everything on Earth. To save the human race, a company called Vault-Tec made over 100 Vaults in mountains or underground to see how people would react being stuck in a confined environment after a nuclear Holocaust. You start the game being born from your POV where you choose a name gender appearance etc and are rushed out of the clinic where you hear your mother going into cardiac arrest. The game skips ahead to the next year where you choose your SPECIAL stats and then it goes to your tenth birthday where you get some starting equipment and a pip-boy 3000. The game then shows your character at 16 where you take the GOAT, an aptitude test that tells which job your character will have in the Vault and this is where you choose your tag skills. After that your character is 19 and you have to escape the Vault because your dad has left and you need to find out why.

The game isn't that long and without the Broken Steel DLC you cannot continue the game after beating the main quest line like in Oblivion, there's still so much to do and explore and tons of things to collect as well. Combat is pretty easy to follow and the game also has a special VATS targeting system which will allow you to target certain body parts while the game is just locked until your done and you also take only 10% of the normal damage during VATS. The game is very easy though, you Can actually have an easier time on Very Hard difficulty than you think and there's also a lot of bugs and glitches to deal with, but getting past those it's a really fun game.

Fallout New Vegas takes place a few years after Fallout 3 takes place and it's story takes place in the Mojave' Wasteland near the Vegas strip. Vegas wasn't hit as hard by the bombs so you won't see as much rubble and debris as you would in Fallout 3, but that doesn't mean that Vegas is safe. There are still the usual Raiders, bandits, slavers, maniacs, and mutants to worry about and theres also supposed to be a larger map than Fallout 3's. Your character is a courier who is delivering a very important package to a settlement called Primm, you're given orders not to open the package for ANY reason though and then out of the blue your character is shot in the head twice and left to die in a shallow grave. You are then dug up by a robot named Victor and taken to Doctor Mitchell in Goodsprings (another town). You then do a simple character creation thing and you're given some equipment and sent out into the world. If you want more info check out fallout.wikia.com's new Vegas info and fallout 3 info and check out some reviews on gaming sites as well as the new Vegas demo's gameplay interviews and screenshots on YouTube.com.

But in my opinion New Vegas is gonna be better
