Fallout 3 Details In Bullets

Joystiq has a neatly-arranged, bulleted rundown of Fallout 3 details for you and I to read. I posted a few of the note-worthy ones, with some comments added, being the Fallout fanboy that I am.

The game takes place 30 years after the events Fallout 2. The events of the much-maligned Fallout: Brotherhood and Fallout: Tactics never happened in the universe of Fallout 3.

--- Hey, I liked Fallout: Tactics, but only because I was craving for anything related to Fallout back then.

The game will feature 20 licensed songs from the '40s that will be played through radio stations accessible via your on-arm PIP-Boy and radios peppered throughout the game world.

--- This is a first, and it's going to be very nostalgic for a lot of people, not counting the ones who were around during the '40s.

There will be no drivable vehicles in the game, but you can travel between locations through subway tunnels.

--- Driving in Fallout 2 was basically watching your icon move across a map, similar to how travel was presented in the Indiana Jones films. Fallout: Tactics had clickable driving, where you clicked on one spot and the vehicle would try go there. Of course, the pathfinding left a lot to be desired.

There are children in the game, but the team isn't sure yet if they will be killable as they were in the previous Fallout games.

--- I don't even want to comment, but children were removed in the European version of Fallout, which is why this is worth mentioning.

The game will have no multiplayer mode and no demo is currently planned.

--- If you're new to Fallout, don't be disappointed. The series has always focused on being a single-player RPG experience. This is about you, not ten thousand other people who could be you.

Downloadable content and player-created mods are being considered, but nothing has been finalized.

--- Again, another first. Mods of earlier versions of the game are available, but they weren't made with TES Construction Sets-like tools that came bundled with the game.

There will be fewer non-player characters in Fallout 3 than in Oblivion, owing to the game's post-apocalyptic setting. Almost all the NPCs will be killable.

--- Another Fallout trait. You could literally shoot anyone in the previous games, and this one should be no different.
