I know the game’s supposed to look desolate and all (since it’s a post-apocalyptic world), but I’m just a bit worried with the overall look.

I’m particularly concerned with the overall stiffness of the character models. Here’s to Fallout 3 blowing all of us (staunch fans included) away.

Whoever thinks it’s going to be like Oblivion just because it was it’s being created by Bethesda needs to be slapped.

Back in Fallout 1 & 2, a critical hit to the head (or eye) would result in the head exploding. But I remember a critical hit to the chest resulted in 3/4 chunk of torso exploding outwards from the wound. I’m not sure about the legs though – I always went for the eyes!

Hopefully this more realistic (and frighteningly gruesome) aspect of the game will find its way into what constitutes a “bloody mess”.

For what it’s worth, Fallout 3 looks like it will be awesome!
