The premise, in the publisher's words
The introductory sequence introduces the player to their character's father James, a doctor and scientist in Vault 101. James frequently makes comments about the player character's deceased mother Catherine, and her favorite Bible passage, Revelation 21:6, which speaks of "the waters of life".

The search for James takes the character on a journey through the Wasteland, first to the nearby town of Megaton, named for the undetonated atomic bomb at the center of town, then the Galaxy News Radio…

How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 52.5 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 175 hrs, roughly 3.3 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $2.49, that works out to about $0.05 per hour of the main story, or $0.01 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2.4 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor, 1 GB (XP)/ 2 GB (Vista) of RAM and Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 256MB RAM (NVIDIA 6800 or better/ATI X850 or better). At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 7GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
