Back in high school, a friend was telling me about Fallout 3. It sounded pretty good, so I went out and picked up a copy for my 360. A couple hundred hours of playing later and I still couldn't get enough. New Vegas launched and I got it on day one, and once again just about wore the disc out playing it constantly.

When I finally got into PC gaming, I went back and played the first few games. Not as fun for me personally as the newer titles, blame it on the FPS-oriented world I grew up in I suppose. Inevitably I purchased both F03 and NV for PC, and discovered the vast and glorious world of mods, and that love brought me to this forum and has kept me hooked on Fallout to this day.

I believe i found it out when i was younger, from a guy called Brad, from this thing called 4PP.

I know what u mean

lol I see what you did there.

i got oblivion from my friend as a gift and i loved it then he recommended me to fallout 3

Aside from KotOR I hadn't played many open-world RPGs, and my cousin told me about Fallout 3 so I ended up buying it from EB Games and giving it a try. After walking out of Vault 101 I headed in the exact opposite direction of Megaton and got killed by raiders. And that was the start of a very long adventure.

I discovered Fallout 3 from my brother whom was playing and cussing over the phone, I asked what he was raging over and he told me so I took a chance and bought it. I have been a fan of Fallout since.

My cousins had an old copy of Fallout Nv, asked em if it was good, and they said they loved it. I'd later buy it on steam and not regret it

Funny enough, actually because of my father that at that time showed me the first trailer for fallout 3

My first game I bought my own computer was fallout 3 (and a couple of games). When I first started it, I thought - What sucks? I threw it but later I decided to give it a second chance. Run it again and fell in love. In the story, a character in an RPG. Then I discovered modding, started playing Oblivion. So I loved the game from Bethesda and its entire universe.

I saw the trailers, thought it looked good, and bought it.

Was spending the night at a friend's house when he showed me this game he had on the PS3. This game happened to be Fallout 3 and after he handed me the controller and told me to have a go. I knew I needed it for the Xbox, then later I made the switch to PC and found the modding community and I have been a fan ever since then.

I encountered FO3 from watching my brother play it on his Xbox 360 I thought It was cool and then in 2011 I decided to get New Vegas then I saw NV mods on PC then after I got my second computer it was the first game I got

Back when Fallout 3 first released on console, my friend asked me to come and help him get through a certain part in the game because he found it creepy, did that and was immediately hooked with the gameplay and atmosphere and because of that, since I started gaming on my PC, Fallout has been a game I've always found myself playing again.

I heard about the series in around 2008 or 2009 when I discovered Fallout 3 after really getting into TES:Oblivion.
I loved Oblivion so I decided to look for any other games Bethesda had made and when I found FO3 I got hooked straight away through watching trailers and whatnot.
First I got FO3 and NV on console but I got Vegas on PC just over a year ago, I think, and I must say I'm enjoying it more than ever thanks to the fantastic mods made by it's fans, especially from this community

Around the summer of 08 or 09. My friend let me borrow his copy. I hated it, partially due to not understanding it. Then I went out and brought my own copy and bang, fell in love (with a little help from the guide book )

First discovered it around 2010-2011 but didn't start playing it till 2 years or so ago.

I discovered fallout 3 way back in 2010 when I was searching for concept art work to study. I found the fallout 3 concept art work and thought it looked amazing. After that I bought the game and I've been hooked since.

A couple of years back a cousin of mine was really into the game. He had it for x box 360 and i didnt think much if it. One day while i was at his house and he was away i decided to give it a try. Knowing nothing about the game or missions or pretty much anything, the first thing i did was shoot up goodsprings. At first i started shooting some brahmin and the settlers got pissed off and started shooting back. I died about ten times before finally making it ot of there. I thought wow this game really sucks. A couple of months later i received a free copy of it for the ps3. I had nothing else to play so i gave it a try. Once i started to seriously play the game i fell in love with it. i bought it for pc and have been playing it for awhile now. I cant let go of it.

It was shortly after Fallout 3 came out in 2008 :/ literally must have been a few weeks at most.. anyway I was in town with my dad (since I was 10 years old at the time.. maybe 11) and we always went into the local Game Store (its literally called Game Store here in the UK) to look for new games.. and well.. :L I just saw it.. liked the look my dad brought me it and I played it to death!!

I loved it so much that I soon looked into the lore and so on (thus why I now know almost everything about the Fallout Universe, and I know that sounds kinda arrogant but its true, I have been playing, reading, and researching Fallout for 7 years) and discovered Fallout 1. 2. Tactics and BOS.. played them all.. didn't really like them as much as Fallout 3 and later Fallout New Vegas.. though I loved the storyline and lore of the universe..

And thus Fallout became my favourite franchise taking over from the Half Life franchise which is now my second favourite and Fallout 3 became my favourite game..

I remember one of my neighbors who was a bit older than me managed to give me a copy of the original Fallout on several floppy disks. I was only around six or seven at the time, but I loved the game and the post apocalyptic setting the moment I laid eyes on it.

I was bummed when Interplay went under, and was bummed again when I'd heard Bethesda had gotten ownership of it. Then I was rewarded with New Vegas, which I love to death!
