As a side note, me and the wifey mcwiferson had actually asked Duff (from Charm City) to craft us a Ghoulies cake for our wedding party. I believe he said he'd do it, but we never went through with it.
So for future reference, if anyone wants to throw me a party, make sure there's a cake that has a Ghoulie popping out of a toilet.

I imagine that would go from the coolest cake ever to the grossest cake ever, as soon as the ghoulie part was eaten. Especially if it were a chocolate cake.
Think about it.

Alright, this gave me a cool idea for a gamer's cake. Bake a cake in the form of whatever evil villain they like the best, leave an empty spot in the neck area (bake in 2 pieces or w/e), and put a fake blood pouch of sugar crap.
Give the gamer the honor of cutting the cake by beheading their favorite villain in all it's bloody gory!

As I just posted in the other thread:
"The thing is I think they may have already compromised the Fallout formula with this "detonate the nuke" quest. Sure its pretty dark and ironic that a warhead that's been stable since the end of the war gets blown up by some foreign interloper, but a nuke? Maybe the nuances of the dialogue will make it feel less cheap, and more fitting with the overall storyline... any chance of more specifics on this Nick?"

So, can one hypothetically go through the game and play it like a "real" FPS, without using the V.A.T.S. system? Obviously it'll be harder that way, but will it be hard to the point of outright impossibility?
I'm wondering about this too, they said that you have a hit percentage in the VATS screen that is affected by distance, like the old system. But does that mean if you aren't in VATS all that matters is where your crosshair is(essentially making it easier to snipe)?
@ Darkhart:
I should say now, I haven't spent much time with the original Fallout series, so I can't comment on how it compromises the formula. You may be right.
That said, a more fleshed out version of story (based on the demo, which was an accelerated quest processes) is: you're looking for you father. Along the way, you meet the mysterious Mr. Burke who doesn't reveal much info, but does imply that he may know where your father is, and why he left the Vault. He asks you to help him wipe Megaton off of the map, referring to it as a "blight on this suburban landscape," or something to that effect.
You do have choices -- the simplest is to say yes, and go along with the plan. You can also say no, and I suppose that branching path goes no further. Finally, you could say yes, but then turn around and tell the town's sheriff some dude asked you to nuke his town.
There's probably a lot to the narrative and character interaction that I'm/we're missing; this was only a demo after all.

@ Rev:
It was implied you could play the game to its finale FPS style, but I don't think that would be an effective method of play.

Can you shoot anyone at any time for any reason? I mean, the guy asks me to blow up the city, I say yes and then proceed to shoot him in the face. Then I shoot a random woman talking to the barkeep. Finally, I run down to the nuke and blow it up in my face. All after saving, of course. Which brings me to my second question; How does the saving work? Anywhere at any time?
