  • that whistle part at 1:27 is spinechilling idk why... but at 2:45... i think of all my friends and family, all the great times ive had with them, then boom part at 2:53 ...i just imagine all of them just dissepearing and never seeing themm again..and your the only one left..all lonely and frightened....and may i also mention this may be the greatest game ever created....Fo3 for life

  • This music is the motherfucking best!!!

  • 9 people died by nature

  • what's the purpose of the dislike button here? How can somebody not like this music?

  • I heard this song when I had just rescued Dad from the Tranquility Lane simulation. He thanked me, but chastised me for being reckless. For a split second I felt like I was talking to my real father. Brings tears to my eyes remembering that moment, for a moment I WAS in the Capital Wasteland.

  • My favourite song in Fallout 3 by far.

  • this is one of the best pieces of music i have ever heard

  • 1:43

    best part

  • Though, this music is pretty good, kudos to the composer, and also to the original Fallout1&2 musician, damn, exploring some ruins with that bg music makes me feel nostalgic... even though I played them some months ago, lol.

  • Wait, it's F3 a real Fallout game? Don't think so, dumb supermutants, dumb dialogues, no agriculture, no real faction influences, no "gray" decisions... Men, that's what was so great about F1 and F2, getting to Redding, talking to some random dude and instantly knowing that the city's destiny depends on your actions, and the same goes for New Reno, The Den, SAN FRANCISCO, Vault City and Gecko, Modoc..Man, Obsidiand pulled it off, they made an excellent Fallout game,really hope they make F4!

  • @IkeIV1 So what shall it be? Do you join the Unity? Or do you die here? Join! Die! Join! Die!

    Sorry but every Fallout game besides Fallout: BOS and Fallout: Tactics has been superb.. Including 3.

  • @IkeIV1 i hope they don't. It would still be fun though

  • @IkeIV1 My first impression of Fallout was Fallout:BOS....

    Fallout 3 change my negative opinion. I even have and play the first game now :D

  • Amazing. Something Obsidian could never pull off.

  • i wish we could all like both of them. both have thier good parts, and thier bad ones. in my opinion, we should all love fallout for what it is. if you think about it, the game could be alot worse.

  • y is new vegas worser?

  • 1:43 to 2:08 is the only part where i stop to make sure i hear it

  • This actually plays in New Vegas!!!

    I was so happy when I heard it! haha

  • @872reidloS I think you can hear it in Novac

  • I listen to this while doing my homework, very subtle and ambient when at the right volume. This really sets an atmosphere, my favorite part is 1:45

  • @bbvproductions That is everyone's favourite part. Gives me goosebumps. Epicness.

  • 1:45 is the best part of this entire song...

  • 2:00 best part.

  • the piano is this track is beautiful...definitely one of my favorite games. I wonder if it will become a classic?

  • Man... I would never have an experience like that again... my dad left me and my mom when i was 2. And its been 14 years and i never heard of him or got in touch with him. But when my mom bought me Fallout 3.. it was kind of nice of having a dad in the game for a moment, thinking that i will never have a dad who could care like that. And I know it's just a game, but this game really means something to me.. and i could never tell my mom that because she'll nvr understand...

  • @MrsEvaans even if this sounds weird, i know what you mean

  • @MrsEvaans man... thats deep

  • @MrsEvaans I feel for you man... my dad did the same... I always took great care of my "makeup" dad in this game... I always got emotionally frustrated when things where trying to hurt him in the game... that is until I learned he was invincible :/

  • @MrsEvaans wow...no doubt, best game I have ever played even if I did not go through what you did, take care :)

  • @MrsEvaans seems like the game could affect in a much more broader way =D

    Overall,the way I would expect it to affect is make people realize that fallout is an actual possible outcome of what is going on today...and kinda reflecting upon how humans run their world now.

  • @MrsEvaans Dude.....that sucks man... you have my sympathy. Overall I think Fallout 3 is the greatest game there is. The story...the gameplay...the emotional attatchment it has on people like you... and even me. I have a dad. but hes a total jackass. so in a different way, i feel your pain. I am emotionally attached to this game and it will always be the greatest thing that has ever been created to me. Game or no game, i love it and always will.

  • @MrsEvaans hm i played fallout 3 alot too when my grandma passed, it reminded me of her, the old music and stuff. in new vegas i thought lily was a funny granny, and this theme was how it felt to know after all those years she finally passed.

  • Best Game of our lifetime

  • @KrAzZiiHaMzZii life times ahead of ours

  • A Fallout 3 haiku-

    Overwhelming thirst,

    Radioactive backwash

    Where's the radaway?

    

  • 1:54 A glimmer of hope in the distance, a green bush. Life, yes life in such a destroyed environment. Then a bastard mole rat comes along and eats it.

  • war never changes.

  • 1:02 to the end. Standing on the edge of a broken overpass 101 looks out over the desolate and harsh land that is the Wastes, and realizes just how good he had it in the vault. Good friends, and a dad who loved him.

    Now he saw the real world, this place of death and sadness, and felt this urge. Though one man, he decided in his quest to find dad he'd help those who needed it most, because out here in a world this bleak he was determined to shed some light. Fetching Dogmeat he began his quest.

  • The best game of all eternity. I speak to those of the future. Admitttedly, I am influence by alcohol, but sincerly mean it.

  • I woke up at 5:30 am; we are entering the abandoned police departament together today. As we open the doors slowly and quietly, we see a green and gigantic man holding a Hunting Rifle. Dogmeat started growling and the Mutant heard us.

    "They're here!" He said, lifting his rifle, aiming at us. Fawkes shouted, took out his Gatling Laser and prepared for battle. Dogmeat took a fighting stance, and I took out my Combat Shotgun and opened fire.

    (Continues in "Fallout 3 - Battle 1 (music)")

  • 0:55 Have you ever imagined the sorrow The sorrow of being victim to the wastes Crippled in both legs Lost with no hope of being found Slowly dying with every step Every step bringing closer to sanctuary But there is no civilization None as far as eye can see Is it time to give up? Give up and drop dead? But faith and optimism brings strength Strength to find a happy ending To all this hardship and sorrow Desprate for food Desprate for help Desprate for life
  • I have this feeling that fallout will eventually happen...it's just logical.

  • @Wharwulif

    And this logic is... where?

  • @sweetjeebs Just open your eyes,and look at your world...with all the stuff that's going all the time,humans will find a way to nearly wipe themselves out and mutate half the planet on the way!

    It's human nature to eventually reach self-destruct and then restart...just that this time it will be on over-grown proportions,but it will happen,I have faith in the stupidity of the monstrous humanity!

  • This is from oblivian or marowind i forget witch one

  • @Equinox226 Oblivion

  • It so haunting and mysterious...it really captures the mood of 'what the hell have humanity done to themselves' when you are exploring the wasteland

  • /watch?v=teckDmaZf98&feature=r­­elated

  • from about 1:40 on is probably the best song ive heard in a video game when it comes to capturing the mood... man... i wish a game could hit me again like the first time i was exploring the wastes and heard this song.

  • You see... Fallout 3 is a true experience... the music makes you feel alone... you just left the Vault, the safest place in the Wasteland, and you're lost in the new world, looking for your father who left you... asking for clues, scrounging the wastes for anything you can find... it is the game with barely any people, and the demolished city of Washington D.C... truly, Fallout 3 is a better experience...

    Read this while listening from 1:40 :D

  • Now I know why the slaves wanted me to rebuild the Lincoln statue. Sorry I'm not American lol.

  • Fallot 3 is way better than New Vegas.

  • @ElDrHouse2010 cant we all like both

  • @hokage1997 I didn't said it was bad, New Vegas is just not as awesome...

  • @ElDrHouse2010 why? because its not dumbed down enough like fo3? or because it didnt try to atttract lowest common denominator aka the oblivion crowd?

  • @Vladutz2000 The atmosphere, the story, the characters you encouter, the lack of lag, almost everything.

  • @ElDrHouse2010 yes the story and shitty retarded characters and the forced atmosphere where the best

  • @Vladutz2000 Yep, better.

  • Nothing impacted like walking up to the scenic overlook seeing the Washington monument only to be greeted with the feeling of loneliness. This song really nailed it!

  • best song in fallout 3, luckilly it is in nv when you are in novac :))))

  • @SuperHurleyMan1 I'm glad it returned but I wish it was played when in all of the wasteland :)

  • Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Best in the series. I'm only 21, so I havent played the rest of the games.

  • @SamFisherCell really? i hated fallout new vegas, but fallout 3 prob my second or third fav game of all time

  • i think new vages sucked compared to this..

  • @CharlieBorrows I think this sucked compared to new vegas

    and this song was in new vegas fyi

  • @oaknairb you have something in conman with new veges buddy.. go watch some new vages videos.. this song belongs to fallout e

  • @CharlieBorrows totally agree; all FNV is, is fallout 3 dlc with the same graphics, just diffirent setting, guns and a way crappier story

  • i want this to be one of my explore songs in skyrim

  • @edgecrusherhalo This isn't medieval themed, it's wasteland. This would not fit well with Skyrim.

  • @Dougaloon

    i dont think the theme would matter. i just want to listen to it while i explore a big open place. i would have liked to had this as an explore song while exploring oblivion as well.

  • This was the first song I heared when I got outside of the vault. It was like...

    Everyone is dead, I'm alone... Hey look a school and I walked to the school instead of noticing Megaton.

    When I was in the school my next reaction was O_o I saw the deadbodies hanging.

  • @ElDrHouse2010 same here, One of the creepiest starts for a game, New Vegas definitly did not feel the same as fallout 3 did, way better experience!

  • Where can I download the explore music?? I want to have it with me all the time!!! :)

  • @okssukafilms you can try to and download it on vidtomp3.com!

  • @okssukafilms You don't have to download it it's all in the Fallout 3 installation folder>data>music.

  • esta es la mejor de todas

  • spinzer127 Me too.

  • 1:45 - 2:10

  • It makes me feel sad around those parts. T_T

  • Between 1:50 - 2:10 is my favorite part

  • Ah, the one I was searching for, god the deja vu, the memories all flashing back now.

  • i started playing fallout 3 again....

  • Dammit, Inon Zur just doesn't stop. Some of the best music comes from him.

  • I took a break from Fallout 3 and I'm now playing New Vegas again.. I need to think up role playing ideas for Fallout 3, that's my only problem :P

  • A world devastated by the sins of man...a world where law and order has been long forgotten...a world where once powerful empires have crumbled to dust...a world poisoned by weapons of war...this is the world of Fallout.

  • @PKrising24 Sounds Hawt.

  • @BlockDie824

    Yeah, nothing beats wandering the wasteland with to this song. I need to start playing this game again...

  • @PKrising24 And it's so beautiful.

  • @PKrising24 Sounds better then this world we are today to me =D No one will give you fishit in the fallout world!

  • What's with all this poetic shit? Fallout 3 was fucking awesome, and so was the music. 'Nuf said.

  • 8 raiders disliked this

  • @Snaps2346 That's deep man!

  • If i was aive during this, with a pistol, some male nightwear, and my iPod with all the explore songs (especially this), I would be set.

  • Fallout 3 wasn't just a game, it was an experience..

  • @makelelemakelele it was a way of life for me ;)

  • @makelelemakelele

    It is true. It is more than game.....

  • to me this is one of the best pieces of ambient music in any video game or even movie for that matter. the first time i heard it while wandering the wasteland i was blown away. espeically the part that starts at about 1:45. to top it off its one of the best games i have ever played.

  • does anyone else just slowly walk down the highways at sunset listening to this, you think about the war, the destruction, the chaos and the fact that you are truly alone.

  • @Aarie101 no because you're not, because it's just a game

  • @Aarie101 Yes.

  • 2:02

    it makes me feel really sad when I thought about my dad in the game

    ...in real life,..... I don't have my dad :'((

  • @ff7ff13 I am sorry :(

  • i love the highlight of the piano at 0:58.... so powerfull! best piece of music in that game i think... i only can say: wow :)

  • For some reason this makes me think halo

  • so bleak. No mercy under the sun of the capital wasteland

  • I've put down so many hours of wandering around, exploring, because of this music. No other game has been as captivating.

  • This song is so beautiful; so desperate and nostalgic.

  • The music starting from 1:45 really makes me sad.

  • @TheEstate007 It doesn't make me feel sad, it makes me feel free...

  • Theres this old, big abandoned crashed construction site near my house.

    Nobody is allowed to go there. Some construction workers even DIED there. From what I've heard, someone was tinkering with dynamite and blew the entire construction site up. There was going to be a huge mall there...

    I once took a knife there, and my Ipod, I put this song playing and took a flashlight because it was pretty dark. I went exploring the construction site :) Scary as hell.

  • @MrMendezy It's always so invigorating to find some elements from Fallout 3 in real life. All you'd need to have the perfect atmosphere would be a Pip-Boy 3000.

  • oh-my-god-my-tears-are-crying

  • The background music to this game fits it perfectly but this sequence in particular really captures the sense of desolation... fallout 3 is the best

  • Anyone hear this in Novac? Epic Nostalgic moment right there.

  • @SSFhighcommandJOHN i did i stop playing nv and put in fo3

  • Ah scavenging for stimpaks, trying to scrap together some ammo, desperately trying to find some Radaway, attempting to hack that computer to open a door to a room that has well needed food, running in to a group of super mutants and coming out with a crippled leg and arm. Oh the wonders of Fallout 3. Best game I have ever played hands down. Call of Duty is okay sometimes, but nothing can compare to the atmosphere and the loss of all hope when you play Fallout 3.

  • I enjoyed New Vegas a lot, but Fallout3 will still be my ultimate fave of all the games.

  • Fallout 3's music has a bit of Elder Scrolls written on it. Elder Scrolls is still pretty much inferior to this game.

  • @96crisadi 11.11.11 wll see.....

  • I wonder how many people who have played Fallout 3 have actually tried the first two. I plan on starting with #1 on monday. Maybe record it for youtube even!

  • @BlooditeDrakan I bought the first, second, and tactics, and I absolutely love them, yesterday I convinced the Master to kill himself, and today I started Fallout 2 :D

  • Damn i have been playing too much New Vegas, now i relate this song to that instead of F3

  • ALL OF YOU WILL BE EATEN BY THE GREAT FAT WORM!

  • thumbs up if you regret trading this game in

  • @jakeprovx HAH sooo glad i didnt

  • Is there a way i can put this music into fallout new vegas?

  • @Garrad3 Well if you can download this song onto your computer and put it on a flash drive, you can hook it up to your Xbox and play the music while playing new Vegas.... granted that you have an xbox.

  • @CuteNekoKid The only thing is, that when you hook a flashdrive up to a xbox it deletes everything and converts it into a memorycard. But I agree with Garrad3, it should be in New Vegas.

  • Greatest game I, my friends, have ever played. And I am a big gaming fan. Although I've never played New Vegas.

  • the lonelyness...

    the despair...

    the inevitability of death...

    the burst of feelings...

    and then, the lack of feelings...

  • This is the best explore music in this game...Everytime I hear it in game, Im in new better wasteland. My dog sit near me, Jericho talking bullshit all the time and Im repairing my weapons for next day... Next survival day, full of wasteland dust and dirt water. I have no goal, but I wanna take a walk... Just walk... On fresh air...

  • that piano riff is amazing.

  • If Fallout would have a soul , and this soul would be this theme ...

    This would be one of the most beautiful souls ever ...

  • the best part is from 1:40 - 2:15. really from 1:40 on is the best.

  • Fallout 3 Best game EVER

  • This song is AWESOME...

  • Go for a walk with the explore songs on your music player. It makes you feel like you actually are in the wasteland.

  • @linz1995 I agree lol, it's actually very eerie

  • This song plays in New Vegas while you are at the settlement of Novac

  • this song acutally did play in new vegas for me. only heard it once though. i kinda wish that i could make this the only explore song it really plays.

  • 1:00 - 1:07 That always chilled me... It was like the music just opened up and wept.

  • and the music for borderlands too?

  • does anyone know where i can get a torrent of the songs like this for this game and new vegas? all i can seem to find are torrents for the music on the radio stations.

  • @edgecrusherhalo IF you download the game for PC you will get these songs and the gnr music too, then replace it with the new vegas music in the new vegas folder, and this SHOULD play insted.

  • @Any751157 i wish i could do that for my 360 version

  • 6 people didnt survive the waist

  • if you listen closely u hear the terminator theme....thats what this is based on ha

  • at 1:40 my heart beats sadly!!

    this is the one amazing!!

  • I Dont like new vegas =/

    3 was better in my opinion.. less glitches, no invisible walls, felt more like a "Wasteland". New Vegas looks alot like..Red dead.. lol

  • Best song in the whole game, except for Tranquility Lane of course, that song, place are so fucking great. Also, who could forget the kickass PipWatch?

  • ahh bethasda you and your music, cant wait for the soundtrack in skyrim

  • @gunnar045 cant wait for skyrim in general

  • I can imagine myself walking through an apocalyptic earth listening to this on my ipod, while my faithful dog walks next to me looking for raiders. Oh look there is a ghoul!! oh wait its just a hippy, i think i'll shoot him for his goods ;D

  • This is so peaceful and beautiful. Especially 1:42 to 2:10. I love this game it's my favorite, and New Vegas is my second. The music is just so... amazing.

  • This song sounds so peaceful, but in a sort of sad way. It also reminds me how big wastland is, and even if it doesn't seem like it, I'm not alone.

  • The best i have play since the old old old x-box - ps days but im talking about any game from the past... This one is the best and every game that has come out since after 08 that is a RPG this is the only one i truly love and ALWAYS WILL...

    Not even Fallout NV has had any thing on Fallout 3 at allll!!!!

    Long Live FALLOUT 3!!!!!!!

  • This song is the best of all Fallout 3 songs.., The feel i get from just hearing this is amazing.., takes me right back to the wasteland and that sorrow feeling of this amazing destroyed world.., so sad, yet so fulfilling in a strange way..,

  • For the first 20 seconds I imagine a wastelander who is hiding behind a rock from a group of raiders who have been pursuing him. He is wounded, having taken a bullet to the chest. Each piano note is a drop of blood that hits the ground. For the remainder of the song, the raiders disperse, and the wastelander slowly dies alone, behind the rock in the middle of nowhere. Another soul forgotten by the Wasteland.

  • @Snaps2346 Thats an awesome, but sad story. I like it.

  • Edited crysis song. =D

  • the best game

    4ever i love fallout 3

  • First time I heard it, I were in Point Lookout(you know, no radio and nothing).

    I though it were a special Point Lookout-tune, made for the game to be not so boring(till this moment, I always played with Galaxy Radio XD ).

    This is so relaxing...

  • gnr for life

  • The game has the elements of music by Oblivion.

  • just imagine if this alternate course in history actually happend, i dont think anyone would be here, but if anyone did live, then they'd listen to this to put them to sleep at night, this music hits me in the chest, its a extremely good composition that Inon Zur put together for a game about living in nuclear fallout, not only did the gameplay and story win 2008 game of the year, the soundtrack gave it that good nudge, too... anyone who hasnt played this dont know what their missing out on.

  • I Explored a bit of the world with the music starting at 1:00 .. that was great

  • Can someone please pick out the notes / chords on this for piano?

  • x amount of people were y

  • This song just captures the entire essence of aimlessly wandering the wastes of a ruined world. God I love this game!

  • I like to Look Up to the sky at night when this song is playing and wonder what if in a few years thats me looking up and remembering this song.

  • This must be the explore music in Fallout 3 for once you discover Cyrodiil and start wielding swords and shields and performing magic.

  • As I walk under the towering, decaying overpass

    I look up and wonder

    I wonder of the men

    Who built this magnificent structure

    placing concrete, taking orders

    driving through traffic to return to their families

    To awaken to the splitting sound of the air raid siren

    What did they think as they saw a flash brighter than any star?

    What did they think when they knew this would be the last minute of their lives?

    What did the wonder, when they knew the end was nigh?

  • @lyzedpara That... brought me to tears. Bravo! Good question. *plus 20 XP* Here, take this, it is in perfect condition. *BB Gun added* *BB(unlimited) added* I won't be needing it.

  • @lyzedpara i know i wonder too... this was all a civilization and now you think to yourself........how?
