There are three things I wish Bethesda Softworks would do:
1) Play test their games as much as Blizzard does before releasing them to the public: Bethesda Softworks games are notorious for major bugs, some which ruin the game.
2) Make a game which didn't freeze, like Grand Theft Auto IV.
3) Finally, which relates to this guide, make a guide book with an index. It is ridiculous that 400 plus page books have no index.

I give this guide 4 stars because it is so much better than the Oblivion IV guide. This guide is very well written, and very well laid out. The appendix is excellent, and the tables on weapons is superb. The way each area has a short summary of all of the treasures and dangers is also clever. There are maps to almost every indoor location, and they are very well illustrated. The only major complaint I have is no index.

Minor complaints include:

1) It would be nice to have a full page map in the book. I find myself having to go to the huge wall poster too often.
2) Having the residents of the areas first, before an explaination of the areas forces users to have to often turn the page to read what is in each room. The numbered room explanations should have been first.
3) Minor grammatical errors abound, such as "shotgun cells" instead of "shotgun shells" in the table. But they are so minor, it does not effect your game play.

In the discussion section I added the entire table of contents from the book, and an alphabetized index.

Along with my copy of Fallout 3, I purchased this guide to assist in covering all the quests. I wanted to ensure that I didn't miss any quests for the unlocking of the almighty Achievement points for the 360. I was very disappointed.

As with previous reviews, there is quite a bit of information. This is easily one of the biggest strategy guides I've seen. However, Fallout 3 is a massive game. But as the title implies, bigger isn't nearly better. There is pages and pages of information but the organization is horrid.

I strictly use strategy guides if I'm stuck or to ensure I haven't missed anything in an area I've explored. Fallout 3 is not linear, yet the strategy guide is setup that way. Better organization and layout would have ensured a MUCH higher rating. It's solely defeating the purpose of a physical strategy guide when I'm searching online for certain quests, as it's too difficult to find it in this guide.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, he hopes they come out with an electronic database to search. Normally, that'd go above and beyond and would be a fantastic addition, but with this, it's a necessity. Who wants to read for your quest, only to have spoilers revealed about upcoming quests and still haven't found the solution to your initial inquiry.

All that being said, the strategy guide did have it's uses. You know how certain things will play out if you want to know in advance how your decisions will play out. Also, the major boon, at least for me, are the Maps. Fallout 3's in-game map is very small and hard to decipher, but the quest waypoints help. I still found myself referencing the strategy guide solely for the Maps, which were probably worth the price I paid for the guide.

All in all, if you're progressing through the game and want to experience it rather than know precisely what to do, this isn't for you. I would still recommend it on the maps, which seem to be detailed and will provide major assistance during gameplay. It's a shame, because information is abundant, just the organization detracts so heavily.

First off, the game is probably the best RPG I've played since Baldur's Gate 2. But the lay out on this guide is terrible. Sadly, A huge amount of work went into gathering the info on the game. But somebody must of not been taking their meds. It is a mess, It is layed out like you have already played the game, so you end up trying to get a little taste of something and get a mouth full of spoiler. I only use the hint books for going back through a part of the game that I have finnished. Just to make sure I got everything or was there some other way of doing it. I am afraid to look in this book because by the time I have found what I was looking for, I've had to read through stuff I have not done and it is ruining my experience of the game. I have been playing computer games since Pong, (Yeah I'm that old) and I have the Morrowind and Oblivion guides and love them.

This guide is a linear walkthrough of the game. If you're trying to answer a question like "where can I find so-and-so", or "how do I get into rivet city", it's a terrible resource: it has no index and no useful table of contents. So if you're trying to just play the game naturally (doing quests as you find them), rather than following their exact sequence, the book is almost useless.

The Fallout 3 strategy guide is quite possibly the largest guide I've ever purchased or seen. It's roughly 500 pages chock full of pretty much all the info you could ever need to be successful in the game (covers all versions). The paper used seems a little cheap in that it's very thin, but the layout and design is top notch. The photos are all large and clear. The walkthrough is detailed (almost to a fault). It comes with a foldout map of the DC area (very big). Plenty of info about damage points can be found throughout the tome. I was happy to see that David Hodgson was the writer as I have several of his guides. He always does a good job. If you are looking for detailed info about this game, look no further. Between reading this guide and playing the game, don't plan on sleeping very much.

I really hope that the publisher of this strategy guide can provide access to digital search. Since Fallout 3 is a very open ended game, the strategy guide has 7 chapters with nearly 500 pages with no INDEX but only a Table of Contents. This makes this guide hard to search for the exact information you need because the side quests are not in sequential order so the guide has to split them into Ch4 and Ch5 in terms of zones on the map.

Chapter 1 teaches you the basics of the system, background settings of the Fallout world, and some stats. Chap 3 tells you all kinds of strategies in detail for the actual main quest including all the conversation selection and consequences after the choice, but the main quest has only less than 1/4 of the entire book pages. The rest of the chapters are side quests. This book while able to provide all the details, it does overwhelm me that i can't even search fast enough to look for a specific small quest from an Index. It's really difficult for me to go through the entire Table of Contents to look for a key term to search for a small side quest.

I really really hope that the publisher should provide us all the access to an electronic search engine so we can find the pages on the guide a lot more efficient, or add an index at the end of the book.

I recommend anyone who has purchased this book to see if you can find any electronic version of the exact book to search for the pages, then go back to this physical book and read it.
