Fallout 3

[Fire Me Boy!]

Sorry if it's a repost, but I'm seeing a lot of talk about this... thought we might centralize the discussion.

This makes me excited.

During a March 21, 2008 Official Xbox Magazine podcast interview, Todd Howard revealed that the game had expanded to nearly the same scope as Oblivion. There were 500 versions of the final cutscene, but due to recent upgrades, there are now over 10,000 different versions, which was determined by all of the actions taken by the player.

Seeing the game demoed at the Microsoft Press Conference, I definitely came away feeling that it had inherited all the things that made Oblivion feel a bit slipshod. Now that I’ve been able to see the earlier portions of the game, I think I realize the investment a player will have to make in regards to his character, and therefore, the rewards he’ll feel in the later game. We were lucky enough to be able to start three simultaneous Fallout 3 sessions during our visit at Bestheda. By the time we were done there, Jeff had devastated the local doctor and his clinic, Ryan was trying to disarm an old nuclear bomb and I think Brad was hunting rats. We were only there for a short time, but it was enough to see that this game has the potential to not only envelop the player in its atmosphere, but also give him plenty of opportunities to feel like he’s making his own way in the world. Also, I was extremely glad to see that the “nasty” dialogue options seem to have the kind of bite and humor that I loved from games like Planescape and the original KOTOR. It’s only an initial impression and things could definitely sour, but as a Fallout fan, this is the first time I’ve been truly excited about Fallout 3.

They're addressing a lot of the shit that annoyed me from Oblivion, like the leveling and loot. That and the locals just look a lot more interesting. Definitely want this now.

I would really be looking forward to this if playing it didn't require a new computer.
