Fallout 3 - Hands-On Previewby Dakota GrabowskiBlinded by the light, you stumble into an unfamiliar world full of raiders and cutthroats ready to tear you limb by limb. Once you come to your senses, you’ll soon realize that this mythological world that you’ve been sheltered from in Vault 101 is a barren wasteland – literally called Capital Wasteland – that is full of danger around every corner. Equipped with your PIP-Boy 3000, it’s time to embark on your journey to find your father and learn the ways of the world.
Among the first missions you’ll receive right out the gate is to search a rundown super-mart and deliver a message to family at another camp. These two missions are straightforward and easy to complete, but it’s the NPCs that stand out for Fallout 3. What they lack in facial expressions and lip-synching they make up in personality and humor. Many of these dirtbags will betray you at the first chance they get and will lie to better their own personal lives. This is where Fallout 3 shines: the ability to interact with NPCs and walk away with a lasting impression that sticks with you when you move on to your next mission. One individual, a saloon owner, went against his word and anted up his blackmail for information that is needed to progress the main storyline. Needless to say, all I had on my mind when I was walking around Capital Wasteland fighting mole rats and vicious dogs was the grimy saloon owner who put me on the path to blowing up Megaton.
