To Fallout 3 veterans the similarities are striking – which, at times, feels like a failing. Exiting Vault 111 the stunning expanse of the open-world stretches out before you, and your journey of discovery begins. With nothing but a desire for revenge you head out into the world. Seemingly moments later you awaken in the empty vault. Your partner is murdered and your baby is taken by raiders – instantly establishing the game's motivation. All is not as it seems, however, and upon being asked to step into a cubical to be “sterilized” you’re frozen for 210 years.ĭuring a brief moment of consciousness you watch helplessly as a harrowing scene unfolds. The sirens begin to wail and you run with your family to Vault 111, just in time to watch the bombs hit as you are lowered beneath the earth.
