Bethesda has a new developer diary up talking all about the Brotherhood of Steel faction in the upcoming Fallout 3 — a title that promises to be one of the most important releases of 2008. Along with some really interesting backstory about the Brotherhood and its ways, a number of concept artworks have also been provided, which you can view below.
Technology is worshipped, simply and plainly, through obsession and attainment. We are a people dominated by technology, from our electrically-powered cities right down to our scientifically engineered anti-depressant medications. And every Sunday mass we miss to stay home and watch football on our HDTVs is further proof that now, more than ever, technology is the deity we hold most dear.
Now imagine all of that compulsion, all of that addiction we as an entire race share, and encapsulate it into one group of people. Imagine the obsession and fervor, the unending need for technological superiority, and the ultimate futility of such a goal.
Imagine, if you will, the Brotherhood of Steel.
Fallout 3
is shaping up to be something most engrossing, although I confess I am not intimate with the series so my optimism comes a little from ignorance. What say you? Are there any diehard Fallout fans in the audience who are excited/nervous about Bethesda’s take on the franchise? This is going to be a hot one when it finally sees a release, so let us know how eager you are to take on the Super Mutants.
