Its been out for about a year now but its so damn good. Basically its Washington DC about 150-200 years after the nuclear bombs fell. Humans didn't all die. Some lived inside vaults sealed underground. Others survived in various shelters and sewers. Over the many years after the fallout, super mutants, ghouls (humans with a skin disease from the fallout) and other creatures have tried to eak out a living in the Capital wasteland. Its probably the closest thing to a real Mad Max scenario than I have ever seen but its so much more in depth with the character. You can allow you character to be a savior of humanity or the bane of its existence by your choices. There is no set path. Everything decision you make has a karma impact. You can lie, cheat and steal your way through or you can be virtuous and work for the little guy. There's also the hybrid of somewhere in between based on the literal thousands of choices you make. Theres so much area to explore, a working day night cycle and an awesome storyline.

All in all its one of the best games Ive ever played.

Here's a good review of what kind of story it presents.
