Fallout Hints
Game Structure
Fallout is a very non-linear game. There are tons of unnecessary side quests that may or may not have anything to do with your main quest(s). However, these side quests are always beneficial to undertake because there is typically a worthwhile reward.
Going straight for the main objectives, Fallout can be finished fairly quickly. Of course, this is with minimal enjoyment. So, I recommend finishing as many side quests as you can stand.
Like many role-playing games, Fallout using an experience-based advancement system. The more experience points (XP) you get, the better your character becomes. However, some other games only allow you to get XP through combat. This is not the case with Fallout. You can get XP for getting items, accomplishing tasks, visiting locations, even just talking to people.
There are also typically several ways to accomplish any particular objective depending on your character's style of gameplay. This essentially gives Fallout a good bit of replay value by allowing you to go through the game using different techniques to accomplish quests.
