10 years ago the original Fallout was released and forever changed role-playing games. Now is your chance to be a part of Fallout history. Bethesda Softworks gives the fans a chance to design one of the perks for Fallout 3:

"No, we aren't going to tell you about any of the perks that are already in Fallout 3. First, that would spoil it, and second, we don't want to color your ideas with anything we are, or aren't doing. It's a clean slate for you. Be creative.

Think of something in the spirit of Fallout. What would you really want your character to be able to do in the game? Don't worry about any stat requirements or the level you would get it at. Just design a cool perk and we'll fit it in where it could go."

Four new Fallout 3 screens

360 News | Fallout 3

Aug 24, 2007 It's time to cast an eye once again over Bethesda's RPG sequel Fallout 3 as new screenshots emerge from the post-nuclear wasteland. The game proper, as most things do, begins with a birth: your birth, deep within the loving steel confines of Vault 101. It's at this point that your masked father runs a DNA test on you, letting you choose your basic character details such as race and sex, after which your father will magically remove his mask to show that he shares the same genetic ... » Read More

Fallout, hookers and adult content

360 News | Fallout 3

Aug 16, 2007 It's no great secret that Bethesda was aiming to appeal to an adult audience with its post-apocalyptic RPG game Fallout, but it's treading carefully to avoid certain pitfalls when it comes to including adult material in Fallout 3 - it doesn't want the game to become puerile. "There are some people who say that making an 18-rated game, and especially making a Fallout one, should be about sleeping with the hooker, then waking up with the venereal disease. A lot of that stuff ... » Read More

Fallout 3 - it's got gore like Gears of War

360 News | Fallout 3

Fallout 3 - the post-apocalyptic RPG from Oblivion creator, Bethesda - has the soupiest, most splattery gore that we've seen since Gears of War. A well-placed bullet scatters dome debris like pebbledash, with eyeballs and bits of brain identifiable amongst the pile of post-headshot sticky bits. Have a look at the chunks flying in the image below to see what we mean. But don't expect this atomic role-player to be anything like the heavy-booted Xbox 360 shooter - the similarities start and ... » Read More

Fallout 3: How it works

360 News | Fallout 3

Friday 29 June 2007 Fallout 3 will offer first-person and an over-the-shoulder (think Resi 4) viewpoints, and will feature an innovative and probably fan-pleasing targeting mode that mixes real time action with stop-time decision making. When faced with enemies, you'll be able to pause the action and take aim. Perhaps you'll blast the nearest guy's hand so he can't quickdraw his pistol, then cap another enemy in the bonce before sending a few shots at a distant target to force them behind ... » Read More
