20 Best Video Game Opening Levels Of The Last 10 Years

10. Leaving The Vault - Fallout 3

One of the most legendary openings in gaming history, Fallout 3 literally goes from you coming out the womb to opening your eyes, your first words, birthday parties, friendships and eventually, leaving the enclosed Vault to explore the world itself.

You're helped through life by none other than Liam Neeson, who promptly disappears and gives you the will to proceed. The genius here is through just how well Bethesda dip into enough important moments of your life to give the full picture. Chances are you remember some extremely early birthday parties yourself, not to mention the more time you spend in the Commonwealth means those furtive, blurrier memories fade into being harder to recollect - literally like you're living the life of this Vault-Dweller for a considerable amount of time.
