We made our reputation by doing big and crazy - things people hadn't tried before. We feel that we've gotten good at it now. The same will be true of Fallout 3, when you're out in the wastes. You could be walking along and there'll be a diner off to the side, you'll wonder what's over there - and it'll turn out to be a Raider base and there's mutated bodies hanging from the ceiling," explains Hines. If you want to play the game hardcore, you can sit and wait and watch these guys over a period of time and figure out what their schedule is - go in while they're out or when they're sleeping.
The start of the game though, as it was with Oblivion, will be inherently linear -although perhaps not in the temporal sense.
There's probably no need to bore you with the way the action cuts in and out of various events of your childhood, nor with the fact that many of your perks, stats and abilities will be selected at various points within this. So let's just cut to the meat and reveal that when you're born, a left-click of your mouse will make you cry.
And then, when you're a year old and escaping from your wire-fence playpen, the same button will make your character say stuff like, "Dadda! As soon as you're out in the wilderness in your late teens, everything opens up before you - the landmass is smaller than that in Oblivion, but Bethesda insist that it won't necessarily feel that way. The idea is that being forced to travel around on foot, with no real idea of what direction stuff lies in, will force you to appreciate your immediate environs more - as well as give you a strong sense of exploration.
Much as in the original Fallout games, where you'd only be told settlements were vaguely to the south or were completely unmarked. This 'less is more' ethic extends to NPCs as well, having a more limited number of wordier tykes milling around, rather than the hundreds of three-line conversation 'tell me rumours!
In the new scenes on show in Pete Hines' presentation, the improvement was marked - when bickering with a childhood bully there are at least six or seven different retorts to your foe, for example.
We're also promised that there are at least 60 voice actors and that the more recognisable ones from Oblivion 'You have my ear, citizen! When they talk to each other they can do it by name," he explains. They understand that this person is someone they have a certain sort of relationship with, and so they can talk about a certain set of things. When the player sees that it's more realistic. The more we can do to make characters believable when you walk past them, the better.
What of Dogmeat though? We touched on him last issue, but now his full range of capabilities has been laid bare. You talk to him as if he were a real person - no doubt causing a few raised eyebrows in the wastes - and can tell him to help out in combat, scavenge the vicinity for food, weaponry or stims a which could take him up to two in-game hours if hard pressed or simply to head back to the entrance to Vault and wait for you there.
He won't level up or learn anything new "He's just a dog," says Hines but if he dies then he's dead J for good - and you won't meet any other muscular, English-comprehending canines either.
Dogmeat's a one-off. I've A Confession to make: I never played the original Fallout games. There's no real reason why, they just passed me by somehow. I really can't answer that question satisfactorily. So I wasn't one of the people fearing the integrity of Fallout 3, especially as I liked Oblivion more than Moirowincl you can spit on the floor and call me names now. However, I haven't been 'grabbed' at all by this one. At least I can have a stab at answering this one.
I don't think it's the scenario, as the radiation-soaked landscape and post-apocalyptic settings interest me. Maybe it's the potential of playing Oblivion, maybe it is the cool-but-lacking-in-any-required-skill VATS combat system?
Maybe there are just too many other games that offer me an experience I haven't yet had before which links back to the playing through Oblivion point.
I think Fallout 3 will be a game I complete to say "I finished it". But there isn't any other reason for me to do so. Maybe I'm just a cynical bastard. What Can Be said about Fallout 3 that has not already been said earnestly and with stabbing finger motions in a pub by Will Porter already?
Not a whole lot, it must be said. The sprawling post-apocalyptic adventure captured the imaginations of millions, and the downloadable content, at the very least, scrubs memories of Oblivion's horse armour right out of our memories.
In exchange for a booster shot of Rad Away, lead designer Emil Pagliarulo offered up some inside info on the game's development. What a nice guy. We knew we needed to somehow replicate the body-targeting system used in Fallout and Fallout 2, but in a realtime, primarily first-person, environment And we also knew we needed to make it really visceral.
Todd Howard had this image in his head of the crashes in the Burnout series - in those games your vehicles' smash-ups get repeated in slow-motion - somehow applying that to whatever cinematic mode we came up with. It's both tactical and visually exciting, but it's also very fast and easy to use. Really VATS is everything we had hoped it would be. At the same time, you have to be confident in your own creative abilities, and confident in your team.
You have to trust your own creative judgment. If you can't do that, then what's the point? The whole reason we acquired the Fallout license was so that we could make a Fallout game we wanted, one we thought would be great.
That's what we did, and it was definitely the right way to go. For us, it was more a matter of doing tons and tons of concept work before finally deciding on the appropriate art styles. Especially for the really key visual elements, things like the Pip-Boy , the Vault suit, all the robots - we really wanted to make sure we nailed them at the concept stage.
It was a challenge trying to find one that was both appropriate and wasn't too oppressive. It's a wasteland, so everything's dead, so the atmosphere is pretty darned bleak. So the trick was making the world seem dismal, but not so much that it's depressing to actually play through. We made a conscious effort to make the gameplay identical for both male and female characters.
If your character is female, and you take the Black Widow perk, you'll do extra damage against male characters. The majority of enemies are male.
So if you go that route, you'll have an easier time. It was unintentional - a by-product of the way the systems worked. So in that sense, it was a very specifically crafted moment. You leave the Imperial Prison, and emerge out into this beautiful forest scene. How can we make a wasteland beautiful? And there were other things to consider, too. Like, what if the player decides to wait while in the Vault, and they end up leaving at night?
How will the wasteland look then? We knew that initial introduction to the Wasteland would be critical to the way people responded to the game. A great guy, and a consummate professional. It was as if the Dad character was sitting there in his lab, making his holotapes.
Todd and I sort'of looked at each other; you could feel this sort of creative electricity in the air. It was amazing. Every piece of clothing modifies a skill or attribute. So what they lack in damage resistance, they tend to make lip for in skill or attribute modification.
And it makes sense. If I'm a doctor, I'm going to perform my medical duties better wearing scrubs with medical equipment stuffed in the pockets than I am wearing raider armour. They definitely give your character much more personality. But Tranquillity Lane is morbid enough. I wish I could give you an answer as to where that quest came from. I sometimes dredge these things up from my sub-conscious. What have I seen before? What haven't I seen? What have I always wanted to do in a game? What would give me a new experience?
And for me, being the Pint-Sized Slasher and getting to kill people wearing that clown mask, well In the case of that particular quest which was conceived long before the original National Treasure movie ever came out, by the way , it was one of our designers, Al Nanes, taking a concept I came up with and really just knocking it out of the park.
And I wanted it to come as a complete surprise. It breaks things up, and it gives the player an entirely new, unexpected experience. When you think about it, Fallout 3 is actually what is responsible for the Fallout series that we have now.
This is what turned it into one of the most massive RPGs series in modern gaming and after going back and playing it recently, I can hand on heart say that it holds up very well and is still an awesome time. The setting and story of Fallout 3 are both fantastic. The game is set a few hundred years into the future and the world has been decimated by nuclear war.
It is a fantastic sci-fi style story and one that holds up very well to this day. It is not an exaggeration to say that you could play Fallout 3 for hours and still not see all that the game has to offer. The game clearly has a main story for you to play through and that is awesome, but like any good RPG, the side quests are what will suck up all of your time. Fallout 3 is the kind of game that will have you on one quest, then you get swept up into another and before you know it you are down a rabbit hole five quests deep from the original quest that you were doing!
This may sound like a nightmare, but it is just what makes the world of Fallout 3 feel so huge and real. It is because of this that I feel that this is a great game for someone who has always wanted to try an RPG, but never felt they were for them. Even after all these years, Fallout 3 is still a game that looks great. You could say that it is so dark, grimy and brown and green, but after a nuclear fallout what do you expect! The way this has affected the people to turn into mutants and the creatures to become monsters is really cool and I love the creative way the people behind the game decided what a world set after a nuclear fallout would look like.
While we have had a few Fallout games since Fallout 3 I really do feel that this game holds up well enough from a presentation point of view and gameplay point of view that it is still worth playing through. It is a fantastic RPG and one that has a far better story than people give it credit for if you ask me. As a Fallout title, Fallout 3 is a huge change from the franchise's normal formula.
Instead of a highly strategic RPG played from a top-down perspective like the original Fallout and Fallout 2 , Fallout 3 feels more like a first person shooter with a huge map and tons of missions. While it's a definite change from what fans are used to, Fallout 3 manages to be both surprisingly deep and fun to play.
Some franchise veterans will be upset with some of the changes, but for the most part, Fallout 3 is a greatly rewarding and personalized RPG. The story starts off with you creating a custom character before starting your life inside Vault Buried deep underground, Vault is one of many vaults designed to protect citizens from the nuclear fallout on the surface. You experience your early life inside the vault, until the age of 19, when you brave an adventure to the surface to find your father.
Among the chaos, factions of survivors attempt to hold land and protect themselves. Armed with a small knowledge of the world around you, you set off to retrieve your father and take on the Wasteland. Fallout 3 deserves praise for its huge narrative, which features branching paths and moral decisions. As the player, you are tasked with often making huge decisions that have major impacts on the game. As you explore the world and meet characters, you'll have to go on various missions to help them out.
These missions will have you investigating a huge variety of locations, from abandoned subway tunnels to crumbling buildings. The world of Fallout is harsh and dangerous, but if your arm yourself well and keep your wits about you, you'll find it easier to survive.
Unlike the past Fallout games, Fallout 3 plays from either a first-person or third-person point of view. Combat has also changed, as Fallout 3 feels more quick and active than any previous entry.
When you encounter an enemy, you're free to shoot at it normally, as you would in any other shooting game. You can also zoom in on the creature using the VATS system, which allows you to select different body parts to shoot at.
As you craft and discover stronger weaponry and complete missions, you'll quickly have an impressive arsenal at your disposal. However, you'll have to manage your inventory and items, as your character can only hold a limited amount of weight. There are a huge amount of quests and locations to discover in Fallout 3, and ultimately, the game is about freedom. You're encouraged to follow the main quest and discover more information about your missing father, but you're also free to disregard it entirely and forge your own path.
The decisions you make along the way have lasting effects, which makes the game feel personal to your experience. The story has numerous endings, which provides another layer of replayability. This will help in getting the information you need, or building friendly ties. Also, for the first time in the series, the view takes place from the first person, with the ability to switch to the third.
This will add a lot of engagement to the action and give the adventure proper realism.. But the game has a deeply developed shooter component. Use different items of firearms or deadly types of close combat. You will meet a variety of opponents: from bloodthirsty mutants with cruel radiation generations, to ordinary people, mostly bandits and marauders.
In difficult firefights, the innovative "V. S system" comes to the rescue. It allows you to pause time for a few seconds in order to select the place of defeat of enemies, and then proceed to precise execution, inflicting crushing damage.
