This blog post is just me talking about my extensive experience with my favorite game. I will discuss the pros and the cons, my personal likes and dislikes, and much much more. Let's begin, shall we? 
 
It's dificult to choose where to start talking about this game, so I'll begin with some general information about my playthrough. My current character is level 28 and I have been playing for close to 70 hours. I had around 6 other playthroughs and played each one very differently. I have completed the main quest twice: once before the Broken Steel expansion, and another time after the DLC. I prefer to play as a good character; although, I have experienced with evil as well. I even attempted to play as a neutral character which did not turn out as welI as I had planned, but I'll talk about that later. 
 
I have been playing games ever since I was four years old. It began with some outstanding games like Jazz Jackrabbit and Commander Keen. These are some of my favorite games but even they do not match the experience I had with Fallout 3. I first learned of Fallout 3 from doing a google search for upcoming games. There were no screenshots, but instead a description. That was all I needed. From that moment on I knew this game was destined for greatness. About a year later more news was released, complete with screenshots and wonderful ambitious ideas. Then, there was a video. Todd Howard presented a demo of the game at E3. I must have watched that same video 20 times just picturing all the other amazing things I would be able to do in that world. Sometime later, I went on Gametrailers and discovered 5 leaked videos showing the begining of the game up until you first reach Megaton. On one hand I was a bit sad that I ruined the fantastic first 30 minutes of the game of my dreams. On the other, I was bursting with excitement. For a year and a half I was following this game. On day one I bought it, and popped it in my 360. I loved Fallout 3 so much, that I influenced 10 of my friends to buy it. None of  them were disapointed.  
 
This is where I will stop for now. I just want to present my extreme appreciation for this game. And also...I wanna play some more Fallout!!!
