Post apocalyptic game world
FallOut 3 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC is due for release in Autumn 2008. Following a global atomic war in 2077, Fallout 3 is set in an expansive post apocalyptic game world where mutants roam and survivors live in underground vaults away from the radiation.
The game combines combat and RPG elements and begins in Vault 101, an underground haven that has been built to protect its resident's from the threat of radiation in the outside world. With radiation comes a twisted set of mutants and creatures who wander around the wastelands looking for fresh meat to savage. One day your father leaves the vault and heads for the Wastelands without warning. It's your job to find him and uncover why he has braved returning to the outside world.
Bethseda are intent on creating a world with limitless freedom and tell us we'll be able to wander around the ruins, where we'll see some of the great momuments of the US. The games revolves around a character points-based system where you can improve yourself in certain abilities and then level up your character where you see fit.

You learn to walk, run, play with toys and pick your seven attributes collectively called S.P.E.C.I.A.L. (Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck.), as in previous Fallout games. As time goes on your age advances. Time spent within an age bracket increases as you grow older, so don't worry—you won't be fighting off Super Mutants as a Huggies-wearing bouncing baby.
