Hi ive beaten fallout 3 twice now. And my recent play through i did a few side qeusts like oasis , rielly rangers, fire ant , bog trouble big town , megaton book, and the vampire one. My question is . Is there more stuff to explore beside the side quest (ex sewers or vaults) .if so could you name some interesting places to visit and loot . Thanks

It might be worth checking out the remaining sidequests, but I wouldn't recommend replaying the entire game a third time.
Once you've seen the good and bad paths, there isn't much fun in replaying the quests (imo).

Also, do you have the Broken Steel DLC? That adds more content after the story ends.

And do you have Fallout: New Vegas? Play that instead. :P

I say play it again, 3 playthroughs certainly isn't too many, and yes there is still plenty to find.

Vault 108. It's kinda close to Canterbury Commons, but tucked away behind some rocks and such. If you're ever in the Citadel, you should be able to download the locations of all of the other vaults to your Pipboy.

Here's the trophy guide: http://www.ps3trophies.org/game/fallout-3/guide/

If you do all the quests needed to platinum the game, you'll have experienced most of it. Or do a google search for "Fallout 3 wiki" and I'm sure they list every last thing to do in the game in exhaustive detail.

I've played through Fallout 3 six times, and have 600+ hours. It is definitely worth replaying to do every quest and side quest. I'm not saying play the game for 100+ hours, although in my opinion it is worth the 600 hours I put into it. Just try to do every quest and visit every location. Fallout has many hidden secrets the you can uncover which makes every play through worth it.

I don't really understand why your not exploring anything and everything on your first play through.. The whole point of the game is about exploration.. But saying that, I understand we all play games different, especially sandbox titles.. Perhaps it's just me that likes to do every single quest and side quest, or at least as much as possible on my first playthrough

Nope, same here. But I rarely play through a game more than twice anyway, and so I tend to make the most of every opportunity.

I got over 100 hours out of my first character, that was with all the DLCs though. I still think I did just about everything I could. Getting all the trophies is a good way to experience a good amount of the game. Some other things you could do is collect all of the unique weapons that interest you (alien blaster, lincoln's repeater, Xuanlong assault rifle, etc. etc.), do all the side quests, visit all locations, recruit different companions, and so forth. I've played through the game twice with a good and an evil character and put over 200 hours into the game. I started a third playthrough but didn't really get far because there's just not much left to experience, but I still may get back to playing it again.

Do you have the GOTY edition? And have you played the DLC?

I've finished fallout 3 three times already (of course I didn't made every single side-quest, but I did a bunch of them). I played new vegas for like 2 hours and got bored, maybe I'll give it a second try.

I've been meaning to go back and play Fallout 3 again, since I have the version now with the DLC. Wanted to start over from scratch though. I liked it a lot better than New Vegas myself. New Vegas barely felt like a radio-active wasteland whereas Fallout 3 did a better job. Fallout 3 also had a much better soundtrack, much better different radio broadcasts from the PIP-Boy. I also liked the radio broadcasts of the players various quests and exploits or consequences, something missing from New Vegas as well. And for my playthrough Fallout 3 was more stable, New Vegas required constant system restarting because the longer I played the longer load times and such increased until I restarted.
