I have been playing this Game for months on end and never knew you could do that... Just another reason to go back into the Wasteland :-)

@Sonvar - because they really are totally different in everything but the themes.

@Sonvar

While I love Fallout 3 there are some huge departures to the prior two Fallouts without harping on the first-person and realtime thing.

A few fundamental things are that Fallout 3 emphasised exploration while in the first two you fast travelled from settlement/landmark to settlement. This basically made it so every actual explorative area in Fallout 1 & 2 ultra detailed. Additionally the passage of time in Fallout 1 & 2 is in real time (hour for hour) when not travelling rather than an exaggerated passage of time in Fallout 3.

A big one though that many fans of F1 & F2 would say is the prior two Fallouts were more flexible with the story. While Fallout 3 has some options with the main story it's impossible to, unlike in the prior two Fallouts, to find new ways to the end game, in fact in Fallout 1 & 2 it's possible to find a way to make it all the way to the end game without doing the rest of the game. It was a testament to how maleable the game plots were.

I still love Fallout 3 though and think it's worthy of the name Fallout but of the trilogy it's the weakest of the three.

Also wasn't the first concept art for Fallout 3 made earlier than 2004 when a slip of a Black Isle artist showed the Gasbot on his site? Though I guess that doesn't count since that's the original Fallout 3 that never got to see the light of day.

I swear I read this in official Xbox magazine the latest issue with Assasins Creed on the front. Did game informer source it to that cos or the other way round cos one of them is taking credit for finding this stuff out....

Fallout 3 is my favorite game of all time, love it.

Damn, that surgery mini-game sure would have been awesome.

I didn't know any of those, aside from the text adventure in the comic book shop, which I found through sheer dumb luck. Very cool, I wanna pilot Liberty Prime!
