Fallout 3 E3 Preview

Finishing off tonight's coverage of the E3 media blitz is a two-page preview of Bethesda's Fallout 3 over at The Escapist/WarCry.
For starters, fans of the original games need to know this: much of what you loved about Fallout is in there. The Pip-Boy has been faithfully updated, as has much of the character stat system, and the turn-based aiming mechanic. While the combat in Fallout 3 is not turn-based, you can enter the VATS system to target individual body parts of your opponent, and allocate action points, then watch as your character cinematically executes the attacks, often triggering explosions of gore.
