After a previous attempt at making a third instalment of the Fallout series, nicknamed "Van Buren", would end up going nowhere (and its developer Black Isle Studios shutting down not so long afterward), the series was in need of serious help. Thankfully Bethesda Softworks, who were hot off the success of its The Elder Scrolls series, would take up the reins by developing a Fallout 3 of their own. Despite the shared name, both games have very little to do with each other.
Fallout 3 would release to positive reception, but it is often surpassed by its Obsidian Entertainment-developed followup in the eyes of many fans.
Being a western RPG, there are more than a few screws loose and a couple of unused parts they forgot to take out of the box. The game's dedicated modding kit, G.E.C.K., makes it easy for anyone to play around with the game and view its unused content with ease.
