Google map to the Fallout 3 Wasteland

A constant work-in-progress, the fully interactive map displays major locations, quest objectives, and plenty of other spoiler-rific goodies – so be warned. We're especially fond of the potential for players to contribute interesting miscellany and Easter Eggs. Plus, if you do, you get credit for it. As a Vault-Tec recording might say, "That's just swell!"

Did I miss the Fallout 3 swag winners announcement?

Wish I would have had this when I rented the game.
sicsided @ Nov 19th 2008 10:58PM
lol rented.

You RENTED Fallout 3? Riiiight.
Odog4ever @ Nov 20th 2008 2:24PM
I rented this too. There are so many game coming out I can't buy them all. Just finished the main story and I'm seriously considering using the "Keep it" option. When is the DLC coming out?
Jeremy White @ Nov 20th 2008 7:22PM
Yeah, I did rent it haha. I rented it twice and liked it a lot but one day I woke up and was like, "I can't deal with the current flow of popular games dropping like crazy", took Fallout 3, and haven't really played games since. I'm more into my Netflix now.

Ha this reminds me of when I finally hit level 20 and chose the perk that reveals everything on your map. About 130 locations just popped up on my map all at once. The shock was almost too much.

Wow. Technology.
VicViper09 @ Nov 19th 2008 11:25PM
Ah yes technology at its finest, young lad.

This map is leaps and bounds more useful:

These icons are much too large for the map, obscuring the exact locations. I do like the added quest locations, but I still can't get behind the poor GUI.

Does it come with street view. :D

If you haven't already, find the crashed spaceship. The ray gun you get is awesome! Just pick your targets with that thing becuase, not surprisingly, ammo is VERY limited. It's pretty easy to locate. Have a good look around when your Pip-boy picks up a weird radio signal.
PEW! PEW!

Where the hell is it? Somewhere north of Minefield, right? I was looking for it for like 45 minutes at one point before I gave up.

Found the Power Station north-west of Minefield?
Head directly north from there and you should pick up a signal or even run straight into the ship.
Blazur @ Nov 20th 2008 9:05AM
Wow, that could very well have sold me on the game if it's that open and complex. I'm trying to vision the scale of it relative to the site of your player.
baby sea tuna @ Nov 20th 2008 9:11AM
It's fucking huge. It feels even begger since there's no vehicles (though, thankfully, you can fast-travel to places you've already been.)
Jakka ( The Order of Haters of Balance) @ Nov 20th 2008 10:52AM
Actually I'd disagree with BST. It would be huge if the size of the world was applied to ,say S.T.A.L.K.E.R. however given the amount of locations Bethesda has cramped in, it appears much smaller and really screwed up when it comes to scale.
The Wasteland is done pretty well, however in DC it feels like Bethesda purposely blocked off 80% of passages and forced you to go through those bloody subways so you couldn't just run through the whole of DC in 5 minutes. Considering that nobody ever runs through the underground again as soon as they unlock the fast-travel to the desired location, what was the freakin point of it in first place other than making your game more annoying...

I am glade I rented this game...The level 20 cap and only two pieces of armour have pissed me off....And the fact that I have to save every few minutes or so to different slots or a bug might ruin my entire game.

[Insert some comment about the Pip-Boy running Android]

This was a cool idea, but I didn't find the tool too useful. It seems like the areas are not labeled or anything; it just has nodes in the map.

You guys r all noobs im like the bigest fan of fallout eva. I've played all of the fallout games several times spaning a couple of years. You probably looked at the game when u where buying Jericho or something an through Fallout in as well.
I mean i like the Graphics of the game and all but its not like the previous fallout games the main storyline is not as good.
