Did someone say "you can get too many previews on one news page"? If so I didn't hear it! These guys have way less traffic than NMA but they went to E3 so they're worthy I guess. And they reveal stuff:
<blockquote>Fallout 3, the latest entry in the venerable RPG series, finds the story and gameplay going truly next-gen. Much work has been done on the storyline to nod at and recall the previous entries, but not remain so bogged down in the past that newcomers will feel lost.
A typical RPG conversation tree is employed for conversations, and the choices you make -- both in conversations and in the actions and sub-missions you undertake -- completely customize your game experience and its eventual outcome.
The game engine allows the whole environment to be completely "chewed up" by the developers -- and by you and your weapons -- to show the destruction and decay of the post-disaster world.</blockquote>Ah, but if I shoot three bullet holes in a brick somewhere then romp off to the other side of town for three months and return, will the holes be there? We shall see.
<blockquote>Combat comes into play most often in the downtown area of Capitol Waste, which has been overtaken by Super-Mutants. The Super-Mutants are fought against a military resistance known as the Brotherhood of Steel, which you'll likely join forces with along the way (depending on how you choose to play the game).
Overall, Fallout 3 looks like a great, gritty character-driven game that should more than satisfy longtime fans and likely bring tons of newbies along for the ride. And just wait till you see the Fat Man -- that would be your personal nuke catapult gun...</blockquote>Wooo!
