Fallout 3 tidbits

[Brother None]

MTV Multiplayer shares its disappointment over the Bethesda Ruins in Fallout 3.<blockquote>“It was one of those things where the actual location got moved as the game got bigger, and some things moved around,” said “Fallout 3″ product manager Pete Hines to me over e-mail. “[The Bethesda Ruins] had been placed at our offices, and then got moved — but we still kind of consider it ‘our office.’”

Still, I’m disappointed Bethesda didn’t do much with their offices.

I have entered otherwise empty and desolate locations in the “Fallout 3″ wasteland, only to discover a twisted story of manipulation, deceit, chemical abuse and other outlandish stories to explain how a group of people survived (or didn’t) after the bombs dropped in the “Fallout” universe. Upon entering the “Bethesda Ruins,” I expected something similar — or at least some in-jokes from Bethesda to break the fourth wall.</blockquote>GameDaily offers coverage on Fallout 3's October sales which is not much in the way of news, but they put the NPD guesstimate total US Retail sales at 610,000 copies (which is more than the half a million Oblivion had in its first month).

Also, we haven't really been covering Fallout 3 bargains, but if you're scouring, vg247 notes the PC version will be a low low 20 GBP from GameStation, with the console and special editions also going on sale for one day.

Slippery Pete?
Fallout 3 Product Manager?
You on crack Humpty?

No, we design with RPG integrity in mind, we wouldn't let trendy fads and the marketing dept. influence our design.
No siree bob.

I smell a Beth the old Hag mod coming. Now with more immersive graphics.

The entire game(falloutt3) is one big Bethesda in-joke that breaks the fourth wall- assuming you've already played Oblivion.
