Crafting

Crafting allows the player to build items from certain components.

Fallout 3
Scattered throughout the wasteland are notes called schematics. These can be picked up and read from your Pip-boy from the Notes category in the Data section. Schematics contain information on how to build a custom made weapon derived of junk parts that can be obtained anywhere in the wasteland. Not only do they show you what parts make up the weapon, but they also breifly describe how the weapon works and what it fires. You can also go to a workbench and select the weapon you want to build and it will tell you what you have and what your missing to build the weapon. Once you have everything simply approach a workbench, activate it, and a menu will pop up with a list of weapons you know how to build. Select the weapon you wish to make and after a few clinking noises a note should pop up on the upper left corner of the screen stating you have created that weapon. Not only can you make firearms but also special grenades and landmines. Each weapon is unique in its own way and can be very fun to use, such as the Rock-It-Launcher which can shoot just about any peice of junk you can find lying on the ground, or the Nuka-grenade which creates a large blast of flame that does devastating explosive damage, catches nearby enemies on fire, and also causes radiation damage. 

Van Buren
Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios, was to contain various research projects which could be completed by science-oriented characters.
