This game made me feel so lonely that I'd appreciate ANY human contact in the game. It was THAT good

I was going through a rough time like a A LOT of kids were in their high school years. Loneliness, angst, and being diagnosed with clinical depression. I was an athlete on the basketball team, I would go to school, go to basketball practice/game and come home, rinse and repeat. Once the basketball off season came, I was more free to do what I wanted. My teammates urged me to got to parties and things with them, but I was a loner at heart. I would come home and play single player games. My cousin let me have Fallout 3 a year or two before, I finally decided to play it, I was absolutely thrilled to find out you had such in depth character customization, including name and skills. I fell in love, it was a new world, a real escape, I was fresh in....it got me through my first two years of High School. This soundtrack has flooded back those memories of solitary nights in my room just exploring and RPing, video games for a teenager , in that particular age range who are depressed and lonely, are magical, they send you away, you are young enough to still not be too jaded to play "make believe" to yourself, and old enough to want to get far away from home. Fallout 3, Oblivion, Bioshock, Fallout New Vegas, really let me escape....Never lose your imagination, never lose the ability to "pretend" in a video game, cause when you do, you lose that little spark inside you, that spark can make a lonely time fun and exciting, we all need that spark no matter how old we are.

21:19 I felt a strongest goosebump I've ever experienced. When I hear this, suddenly I found myself in front of the Vault 87 door which is inaccessible.

Wow the OST is very powerful for FO3. You can feel the echoes of pain and suffering in the wasteland when you listen to it.

Guys, the Italian voice actor of Tenpenny (and Timmy’s father in Fairly Oddparents) died a few months ago :((

I was in college when this game was released for PC. While I'm playing, my roommate would sit next to me and watch me play. From that point, every evening after classes, he will ask me "adventure time?" which is a hint to play this game. Once I start playing, he will sit there and watch and both of us was transported into a whole different world. He never play it tho (not at that time), he just enjoy the scenery, the ambience, and the screams of raiders. Good times.

Fallout 3 really made you feel like it was the end of the world

Fallout 3 will always have the best post apocalyptic feel to it.

This game was so immersive... This feeling of loneliness and being lost was tremendous. I really loved Fallout 3, I finished it twice and I think I'm gonna start again :) Thank you so much for this soundtrack!

The music in this game makes you feel lonelier when wandering the waste, on edge at knowing that you can run into anything at anytime.

I might be biased, but I think Fallout 3 has the best ambient soundtrack of any of the Fallout games. The quiet flute, strings, and voices are superbly done - small differences can change the tone from apocalyptic loneliness to hopeful discovery.

starting 13:03 is the best part, brings back that feeling of magic as I explored the wasteland on my own.

I think Fallout 3 achieved very nicely bringing to the player, the sensation on loneliness, fear and desth danger. Its places were made with a lot more detail to be apocalitic, something I didn't feel in FO4.

Just gonna leave my mark here. My best memories of this game is playing it on the 360 at my grans house.

50 years from now, This music will still put me in the world of fallout. So much time spent listening to this and enjoying the view... nostalgic

21:00 Just Got Out Of The Vault

capital wasteland had such desperation to it. i still remember how incredible it was when i finally found oasis after so many hours i played before, such insane contrast to the rest of the wasteland. it instantly gave me sense of hope in the future. then after i finished quest line there and had to go back to the real wasteland it was such a profound sense of loss.

16:30 steals the atmosphere quite good

It's pretty amazing human beings can create like this.

This game was the most perfect fallout game. Every play through brings something new

FO3: help we are suffering and the air and water is toxic around us and life is very hard around here to be even sustainable NV: *HEY THERE’S THE HIGH ROLLER*

I couldn't exactly tell what it is. But there is just something about Fallout 3 (also the ones from New Vegas) ambient tracks like these that Fallout 4 can't seem to achieve

I love FO3! More than NV and especially FO4, partly because of the music but mostly because of the world. FO3 has a more..."natural" feel, I love the gloomy sickly green color of the sky, everything is grey and depressing, the feeling of being lost in those vast wastes is just fantastic. FO4 is somewhat too intact, too colorful and DC felt like a huge ruined city, Boston feels like some small town with a few sky scrapers, the whole world of FO4 feels so cramped and a bit too full, I miss the empty quarters between towns where you could sometimes randomly encounter one single individual with his own little story. I really hope for FO5 they change the style back to FO3 and NV and I hope they will use some more epic music like this and/ or parts of the original FO1 soundtrack like in NV. Exploration and City Of Lost Angels really stuck in my mind but these wouldn't work with the map of FO4. FO3 really had it all! Thanks for the upload :)

I wish someone would create a mod where the OST of Fallout 3 can replace the music of Fallout 4.

Coming back years after to listen to this sweet piece once more. Ah, sweet young, teenage blissful memories... I first played Fallout in 2011 when my dad got me 3 and New Vegas when I was around middle school. I couldn't disagree, it was the best gift I've ever gotten. Thank you, Dad, and may your soul find peace.

Some of the saddest music ever. I frekin love this game and it's music. Oh, I love it soo much.

I love the concept art to this game It’s so good looking so unfortunate the technology back then wasn’t the best to implement so much

Fallout 3 was my first proper introduction to the series when I was 10 (I watched my dad play 1 and 2 when I was younger) so it holds a special place in my heart

0:40 gives me chills every damn time.

The nostalgia though. I was playing this game way too young lol at just nine. Many memories of getting lost in the Capital Wasteland and dying many times from Mirelurks. Also storming the Capitol Building in this game really hits different these days.

8:58 😭😭 City of Ruins is, in my opinion, the best soundtrack in the game

Was in middle school when I was watching my older bro play this game. And now I'm making mods for it! And my older bro? He's playing Fallout 4 now. Newstalgia strikes again, doesn't it?

My brothers would find me knocked out asleep to the ambient soundtrack of this, Fallout 4, and Skyrim sometimes, playing through my headphones. Now I let it play through the speakers in my rig at night. Idling Semi + Bethesda Game Ambient soundtrack = Happy driver.

It really makes you feel alone.

This track just wants me to play and explore more of this game , its 2014 , still a an awesome game , The things that I like about it are , The Fallout theme , Also that it was set in Washington D.C , And Of course the tracks , This game deserves all my praise , I would rate the Fallout 3 10/10 :) - So many Memories xOxO

Whats weird is it slowly fades away from your mind when listening its still present yet its like I dont even hear it anymore, wow. I always forget how good this OST is.

Fallout 3 got so much hate and I do t understand why? To me Fallout 3 was the best and had the saddest story, you literally leave the Vault losing everyone you ever knew including your best friend Amata, but at least you can have Butch. And you never have a mother because she dies early do to your birth. You have your dad who raises you then leaves you in the vault to nearly die! You’re exiled out into the waste running all sorts of errands to find your father. And after finding him you only have him for a short time before the Enclave comes in and has your father kills him self to try and save everyone at the Jefferson Memorial. Then you ultimately end up dying continuing your mothers dream, but then there’s broken steal.

This edition of these tracks is officially so much better than the others! the sound quality is immeasurable

I remember my uncle played this when I was in the second grade, I picked up the controller and gave it a try and never regretted it in 2010.

After 3 years, I started playing again, great game, great memories

14:45 best part

21:18 is why you're here.

I had just finished army when I played this for the first time. It was like 2008... Loved it. New Vegas is better in many ways, but I just loved the feeling of actually being alone here. This ambience brings me back to that 2008 young me, and I can't lie, I'm kinda sad I'm not 21 anymore 😁

The best RPG atmosphere ever, so far! Great game! I can't believe how fast time passes...it's been almost a decade, since I played the game and it feels like yesterday... I miss that time,as I feel I'm growing older and all my life is rapidly and drastically changing... Especially the "explore 1" theme, which I almost always recall in my memory whenever I feel loneliness or desolation... My regards to all fellow Fallout Friends!

I appreciate this Fallout’s soundtrack the most as I always have the radio on in 4 and NV. This game really encapsulates isolation and creepy atmosphere. It’s perfect 🥹

its weird to think that im almost 30, listening to this, and perhaps, just perhaps, the designers that poured their heart and soul into the small things of some game that once was have a lifelong fan listening to their work right now and still remembering the experience they built for us. i hope they at least believe in themselves enough to know that what they made is eternal.

Masterpiece of post-apocalyptia

Fallout 3 is a game I've played through so many times just because it's that good. The world/setting is pretty much one of if not the most immersive place in a video game, something about the atmosphere of Fallout 3 compared to all the other post apocalyptic games gives a welcoming sense into a world that is absolute hell. And the music... the music is what just sells it all and brings it home. This music has been ingrained in my memory, even when I'm playing the game and not hearing it I somehow do hear it. It's the perfect ambience to the world of Fallout 3.

brings back memories

this and skyrim ... something special about these soundtrack suites.

This soundtrack takes me back to my childhood when my dad used to watch Clint Eastwood-Sergio Leone movies with Morricone's music, his all time favorite western films.

If there is one game I wish I could play all over again for the first time.....

I really like how the music fits in to each fallout games theme, this desolate and lonely music from fallout 3 is by far one of my favourite ambient soundtracks

The feeling of lonliness this game evoked was very powerful. Ide wander through the wastes looking at the desolation and thinking 'wow - we really messed this planet up'

0:09 nostalgia

This game was my teenhood

Este ost.... te hace sentir solo, que todo se perdió, que las esperanzas de sobrevivir son casi nulas, pero.... te da fuerza para seguir, siendo sinceros fallout 3 fue el mejor echo por bethesda, y consiguió que aún no estando a la altura en cuanto a lore, en cuanto ambientación y inmersión es el que más me acerca a los originales, ya que sientes la melancolía del mundo, sientes su dolor, sientes que nunca abra felicidad, que todo eso es cosa del pasado y si todo eso lo juntas con su ost, te queda la sensación más cercana que tendrás a vivir en un mundo pos apocalíptico nuclear, es simplemente hermoso

Just realized how many fallout 3 and Fallout 1 tracks are in New Vegas, it works though, they give off a nice western desert feel.

Fucking remember when exploring the wastelands for hours... Seen a little city...just a shack...heard the sound of "you found a new place", enter and explore everything

Makes me miss being 10 again. This game will always be important to me

congrats on 800 subs

Thanks Zur

People can say what they want about this game but the soundtrack does capture that bleak helplessness that a fallout world would bring.

21:08

Just restarted a play through, Game Of The Year Edition X Box One..Baby Baybaaay!!👍

I really love soundthrack of fallout 4 really, but fallout 3 soundthrack are so so better.

21:00 makes me feel like I'm levitating closing my eyes

Since everyone is sharing their story for this game I thought I will share my own I got fallout 3 a year after its release, my brother gave me a bunch of random games and fo3 was one of them, but I never got around to playing it until the summer of 2015, I played it that year because there was so much hype around fallout 4 that I guess I was curious what the hype was all about... I didn't know it at the time but what really made me love the game was that loneliness feeling to it, and the OST enhanced that feeling, mixed with the aesthetic and the contrasting, happy music from the radio, fallout3 was something unlike anything ever played... after falling for the hype of f4 and finishing the game I was left disappointed and returned to fallout 3 only to be hit with nostalgia from the original soundtrack, it made me realize that all this time fallout 3 was helping me cope with my own loneliness that summer, while I had friends I would spend most of my high school summers alone, and fallout 3 taught me that there's sometimes beauty in loneliness and its atmosphere, to this day is unmatched

If your ever stressed out this is the ost to listen to.

seeing this and then thinking about whats going on currently, sends chills, because I live in DC lol we still have 7k soldiers hidden in the city until March

The scariest thing about fallout 3 was the subways with the ferral ghouls

My PS3 doesn’t work anymore and i can’t play this Beautiful game and im hearing this to remember the good times🥺I miss playing Fallout 3

I wish it was that time when this was just being released 😢😢😢😢😢 rip ppl I miss u all❤❤❤❤

Gotta be honest here, Fallout 4 soundtrack is great but not as epic as Fallout 3's this was just immersive on so many levels.

I went to DC, killed a few scavvers, looted a few bodies, did a few quests. Then I went home and booted up Fallout 3 on my xbox.

my fav game of all time🖤 one word: AMBIANCE

Felt used to hearing this ambient music when I played the DLCs and didn't have radio access from the DC area

First year I played the fallout games was 2012 when I was in 8th grade. SO many memories of 3 and New Vegas that just bring a smile to my face!

I happened across this game when I was in my secondary years, I'm almost done with college now and honestly playing it again I have realised no game never has or will make me feel the way fallout 3 does

A man that gives me the Nostalgia

21:00 the best part

Good old times boys... good old times...

Pure nostalgia.

Honestly my favorite game of all time.

Nostalgia bateu forte

I find track 4 to be so powerful. Especially 11:25 to 11:50. It almost makes me tear up

While fallout 3 may not be my favorite fallout I can’t hate it because it still holds a lot of nostalgia for me and this soundtrack brings me back to high school playing this for the first time with my friend back when everything was simple and life was more laid back.

Fallout 3 will always be my favorite, it just did the post-apocalypse feeling of loneliness and exploration better

For anyone reading this is only 136k btw, not 320 as titled.

Much better than Fallout 4's ambient soundtrack

19:19 my favorite 🚶🏻

This is so good, I love it

O M G Soo many Memories . . . . :') ❤

Makes me sad in a nostalgic way. My best friend who’s now dead used to play this ! Listening to this brings forth floods of memories 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤ lovely music

21:19 so nostalgic...

This music is just so good

To me this is just calming, good music. It takes me to a windy desert in my mind.

Very beautiful

Who watched to the end?

Can wait for the full mod release of Fallout4 The Capital Wasteland. That shits got me hyped!
