Firing Squad:<blockquote>The game is supposed to have your father disappear and you are supposed to go find him. For E3 demo reasons we skipped this event and proceeded over to the vault entrance, encountering a funny robot who sounded a bit like Monty Python's Graham Chapman (right down to the "stupid git" farewell we got from him). It's clear from this standpoint and other aspects of the demo that Fallout 3 will indeed have a lot of humor like the first two games had which is certainly encouraging for long time Fallout fans. Anyway, we got the code to open the vault and in a rather long sequence we saw the massive door open and we walked through to the outside.

Yes, some Fallout fans will likely be upset that the game is designed as a first person title and is set on the East Coast but that's nitpicking in our eyes. The real test of Fallout 3 will be if the game keeps the humorous spirit of the top down first two Fallout games with the high end graphics and immersive gameplay that the new developer plans to bring to the table. The E3 demo was way too brief to put a definite answer to that question but we certainly will be keeping an eye on the game in the many months before its scheduled shipment to stores.</blockquote>We must've really missed the memo that Fallout was only about its humor, and that it's humor was Pythonesque. Grrlgamer:<blockquote>A bit like in Oblivion, NPCs react to you according to your conversation choices. But there are speech challenges. At certain times you have to influence NPCs to tell you things you need to know. The higher your speech skill, the better the percentage of success, which is shown.</blockquote>Link: E3 2007: Fallout 3 Impressions at Firing Squad.
