Fallout 3
Fallout 3 is an action role-playing game actually under development by Bethesda Game Studios. It will be released in October 2008 in North America for Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. It will be a single-player game.
Fallout 3 is the third major game of the very successful Fallout series. This game takes place in a futuristic and post-apocalyptic universe located in the United States in the year 2277, 36 years after the setting of Fallout 2 and 200 years after the nuclear war that devastated the world.
You will play as a member of Vault 101, a fallout shelter serving Washington D.C. Your character lives with his father (his mother died when he was a child) until he wakes up finding that his father has left the vault and ventured into the wasteland for unknown reasons.
The vault overseer becomes suspicious that your character had something to do with his father s disappearance, and he decides to go out into the capital Wasteland in search of him.
Along the way, the your character will encounter organizations seen in the previous games, including the Brotherhood of Steel, a group of technology-coveting survivors, and the Enclave, the elitist and genocidal remnant of the U.S. government.
The game will feature both first-person and third-person perspective. The creation of the main character occurs as you experience his childhood. The character s mother dies in labor in the Vault 101 hospital, immediately after which the player decides the character s general appearance through a DNA analysis conducted by the father.
Afterwards, the father removes his surgeon s mask to reveal a face similar to the one chosen by the player for the character. As a child in the Vault, your character receives a book titled You are special, whereupon the player can set the character s seven primary aptitudes .
Your character receives training weapons and a PIP-Boy 3000 later on during childhood, and your character s performance in various tests determines the rest of the attributes. Additionally, several quests inside the Vault will be able to influence the player character s relationship with his or her father.
Skills and Perks are similar to those in previous games: the player chooses three Tag Skills out of 14 to be the character's specialties. Four skills have been cut out from the game ( Fallout and Fallout 2 had 18 skills) but it is unknown which skills have been removed.
The maximum level your character can achieve is level 20. The Traits from the previous Fallout installments were combined with Perks in Fallout 3, and you can choose a new Perk each time after gaining a level.
The game will also feature a new health and radiation system as well. You can measure an object s radioactivity and gauge the effect it will have on your character.
