Zombies and Party Hats in Latest Fallout 3 Shots
by Chris Faylor, Apr 21, 2008 9:12am PDTThree new screenshots from Bethesda's Fallout 3 have made their way onto the internet, highlighting the festive atmosphere and zombie-slaughtering attitude of the post-apocalyptic RPG.
Arriving in standard and bobble head-packing collector's editions this fall, Fallout 3 will hit PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. For more, check out our recent set of impressions.

But to me, just seeing a screenshot that says "roam the free apocalyptic world, realtime chaingun zombies", even with everything a succesor of Fallout has to offer, that's it. I'm already sold.

On the downside, it does seem like Bethesda has polarised the enemies a little if you ask me. One of the things that made Fallout stand out was that there never was a true sense of right and wrong as such things as chivalry had long died in the wasteland.
On the one front, Bethesda has mirrored this once more by using Karma to track the player’s actions and popularity, but on the other you won’t be finding any friendly mutants like in past games. Pete confirmed with us that all the Super Mutants are dead – “Once a creature, always a creature.”
While that definitely makes the game a lot simpler and more accessible to players who want to boil Fallout 3 down to little more than a shooter, it does kind of feel like some of the greyness has been lost as a result. A world of black and white and clearly defined sides isn’t bad, but it is a little less involving.
That's rather disappointing to hear. The last thing I wanted Fallout 3 to be was "just another shooter". Hopefully the final game will have more dynamic NPC allegiance than what is described here. Or at least allow you to choose the darker path based on your skills and actions, thus making more evil characters less hostile to you (rather than just a bunch of mindless "always-enemies" - though some of those do need to exist).
