Right now it has tons of excellent mods that help make it a far deeper, more beautiful and more advanced game than it was upon release. With that said, Fallout 3 holds one clear advantage over its successor.

After all, there's a good chance that once you've played Fallout 4 then going back to Fallout 3 will be like going back to a Nokia 3310 after owning an iPhone 6 (novel, kind of awesome - but ultimately impractical). In a way, that makes it the perfect time to revisit its much-loved predecessors. In a mere month's time, Fallout 4 will land like the Fat Man bomb upon the gaming scene, sucking us into the bleak Boston wastelands for hundreds upon hundreds of hours. With another mod, you can play as an Enclave leader, and lead the Enclave into battle.The apocalypse is nearly upon us. Using a simple mod, you can make raiders friendly to you, which means you can ignore the main quest altogether, and just pretend you are a raider, hang out with other raiders, and defend against super mutants or the enclave. Modding the game is almost more fun than playing it, once you get the hang of it, and allows TRUE roleplaying as well. You can radically increase the distance at which light and objects appear in the game using the Fallout Mod Manager.

I also love to edit the draw distances in the game. I would recommend using the performance version for maximum stability. Using it is AS EASY as copy and paste into the correct folder. There are USER made high-resolution texture replacements for one thing, that change the fuzzy and vague textures of the console into real-world texture images. I can definitively say that you CAN make the PC version of Fallout 3 look MUCH better than anything possible on the console. I played through Fallout 3 on the PS3 and on the PC about 8 times.
