“Wow, the intro for this game is way too long and kind of boring”

Are you in a rush or something? How about you relax and enjoy being born and growing up in a vault, okay?
It’s actually a really neat way of introducing the concept of Fallout’s vaults to people who might not be familiar with the franchise—which was most people when Fallout 3 launched. And hey, just save right before you enter the open world. You know, when the game lets you change everything one last time. Then start every new game from there, like most Fallout 3 fans.
