The life of Fallout 3's Wanderer begins in Vault 101, from birth, to childhood years, to adulthood.
It's a much briefer, to-the-point introduction compared to Fallout 3. A few moments after stumbling through the vault they step foot in the dismal, post-apocalyptic wasteland of Boston on the hunt for their child. In what seems like a moment, our protagonist is entered into cryo-sleep, loses their spouse, and has their child kidnapped. From there, we're ambiguously introduced to the Vault-Tec gimmick hosted in Vault 111. From here, players must rush through their retro-futuristic 1950s neighborhood on their way to a vault that's located conveniently in their backyard.
Moments after accepting complimentary access to one of Vault-Tec's cutting-edge shelters, a gloomy newscaster delivers ominious news on TV as air raid sirens begin to blare. Note: Spoilers for the intro of Fallout 4 ahead.įor the uninitiated, Fallout 4 begins with a happy young couple preparing for their day, complete with a robo-butler tending to their wailing child. Today's reader discussion asks whether you prefer the introduction to Fallout 3 or Fallout 4. Countless throngs of Fallout fans have booted up 2015's most-anticipated game by now, so most of you have already experienced the game's opening moments, if not dozens of hours.
