I have never played Fallout 1 or 2 and don't even know what it's about, but I do here ppl raving about it.

What type of game is it? Is it Diablo-ish? What would you compare this game to?

I hope from a world design standpoint that they don't have any real world buildings in FallOut 3... That white house just doesn't look right as a part of Fallout universe...

I haven't had chills run up my spine in anticipation after looking at a teaser site for a game since StarCraft more than 10 years ago.

THIS looks so promising. I was a little worried after seeing/hearing the music from the last concept art, but this one just seems to nail the Fallout vision and setting.

It's bleak; it's fantastic; it's epic.

I don't care what you do or change Bethesda, just make it feel like that good 'ol Fallout, and I will be happy.

I dig it, heres hoping that all those fat oblivion profits went into polishing up this game here in the last year or so.

This game will blow away both Fallout games (including Tactics and the console ports).

What Bethesda will do with their engine and this form of realism is going to fucking own. I have complete faith in them making a sick rendition of this universe.

To all of you detractors:

You will be on your hands and knees in awe when this game is released.

Goddamn that's gorgeous. It's stuff like this that totally justifies moving to a 3D first-person perspective. I mean, I love the gameplay style of the Fallout games, but I've also always wanted to play a fully detailed, immersive game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Just traveling the wasteland is going to be epic.
