I have just started playing Fallout 3 and i think it is pretty good but people say you will get sucked into the game. I have not got sucked into the game yet and i am up to the part where you have just escaped the underground facility and you are in wasteland. How long do you think it will take me to get sucked into the game.

The underground facility's are called Vault's. Play trough the first few missions of the main quest line, and then start exploring. It doesnt matter which way you will go, you will see a building or group of people exploring. For bonus points, download the Dl's, they are just great

You do know its a 40-100 hr game? Lol, I see topics like this and I get confused, you have to play more then 1hr of a 40+ hr game to get sucked in, play more then the opening then come back and ask this question, also just because other people say that doesn't mean you are going to feel the same way, people need to stop listening to other people and play games themselves.

It took me about 4 more hours past leaving the vault to get really into the game. Stick with it a little longer.

Check out Megaton, explore around, and speak with Moira Brown. Once you set out, complete a few missions and find new locations, then the game becomes more interesting. Took me about 4 hours to get hooked.

I played for about 10 hours and really couldn't get into it. Not every game will appeal to everyone, right?

The first few hours are slow, but the rest is VERY fun.

I really love this game, but keep getting distracted. It's a game I always pop-in in between other games. I'm a completionist, so I'm far from finished. I guess my character has clocked about 90 hours, between several playthroughs of DA:O, ME, The Darkness, and now ME2.

The game truly begins when you leave the vault. Just loved the entire atmosphere. I even loved the feeling of being completely lost and not knowing what to do when you first escape the vault. That's how it should be, no? It's your first time out in the open and stuff. Loved the game.
