Fallout 3 - PAX Writeup

Did you like oblivion?
Do you like the idea of a witty, post-apocalyptic setting?
Do you like guns?

If the answer to all of the above is yes, then you will no doubt love Fallout 3, since from what I have seen it is basically Oblivion, in a witty, post-apocalyptic setting, with guns.

Not that this is a bad thing by any means, it looks a hell of a lot of fun. I didn't get to play it myself, but I watched Bethesda show it off for about an hour.

It is a pretty cool mash up of realtime and turn based combat, called "Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System" or VATS. There is pretty standard realtime first/third person combat, but within limit, you can cut to a turnbased combat, with really satisfying targeting of specific body parts, and some incredible looking critical hits.

All in all, looking great.
