Three new screens and tons of new details on Fallout 3

Not everyone will be lucky enough to ask developers hot questions about their upcoming games, but Bethesda Softworks recently held a Q & A for their fans about Fallout 3. A lot of details have been spilled and three new screens were also shown. All that and more in the full article up next.

Over at the Bethesda site, new details about Fallout 3 have been revealed through a Q & A session between fans and the devs. The whole text is lengthy, but the main points have been summarized for your convenience.

A trifecta of new screenshots were also posted and they’re looking fabulous like the previous ones we’ve seen. In any case, here are the new details as listed by Xbox 360 Fanboy:

Armor sets come in two pieces, body and head
Inventory limit is based on weight
Children and essential NPC‘s are unkillable
Good/Evil karma system relating to in-game choices
Crimes committed against specific groups are known to all in the group throughout the game world
NPC’s navigate via a mesh instead of via a point to point system like in Oblivion and Morrowind
Like Oblivion the game uses a skill list and those skills determine maximum possible effectiveness in battle
Faces are customizable, but not bodies
The player can crouch and sneak around
Many of the old Fallout traits return, only now as skill perks
Fast travel is only available to places you’ve been before
Not all non-humans are hostile: “some can be reasoned with and even hired.”
Player “perception” functions like the Oblivion compass

Buy: [ Fallout 3 Survival Edition (PlayStation 3), (Windows), (Xbox 360) ]
