Fallout 3: PLAY PC Magazine Preview Breakdown

The latest issue of PLAY PC Magazine in the UK featured a preview of Bethesda's upcoming Fallout 3. Unfortunately, the images in this issue are the same as all the other images in magazines lately. Lets get to the breakdown.

• Summary of the BoS article.
• Super mutants kidnap local people and found a way to turn them into mutants.
• You'll be able to issue commands to Dogmeat (your Dog), e.g. tell him to bring you some items like ammo.
• They use "active pause" instead of "VATS".
• The main statistic of weapons will be DPS or Damage Per Second, e.g. a shotgun has 20-40 DPS.
• There will be addictions and diseases.
• The world will have no invisible walls or other artificial barriers, instead of using the main entrance, you'll be able to climb over a wall or use another alternative way in.
• The developers are considering making the player able to complete the game without killing anyone, using only dialogues, sneaking and hacking.
• Conclusion: Despite the complaints of orthodox fans, they are convinced that Fallout 3 is the future of RPG and will be great, but they're worried that while having awesome gameplay and atmosphere, the game will lack black humor.

Please Bethesda, release a gameplay video! You've got me drooling on my desk.
