Fallout 3 GC Preview

GI's Nick Ahrens, Jeff Cork and Bryan Vore all played Fallout 3 for an hour at Leipzig and discuss their impressions.
Nick: I decided to cross the river and get off the beaten path, and I found something interesting a protectron droid was fighting a super mutant, and it just destroyed it with lasers. It cut the mutant to pieces. I found another super mutant, and after I killed him and took his minigun I found his encampment. He had a bunch of gore bags, which were essentially mesh bags filled with body parts. They were right next to a pit fire, which is where he must have been barbequing.

Jeff: I got addicted to Med-X, which is a pretty cool item. It basically increases your resistance to damage, but after I took a bunch of it and the effects wore off, the screen got blurry for a little while and I got a warning saying that I could get hooked to the stuff if I wasn't careful. I wasn't careful, and the last time I took it the screen turned red once I sobered up and I got the message saying that I was now addicted, so unless I kept taking it I would suffer some consequences.

Nick: I fought a mire lurk, which was essentially a humanoid shellfish. He was quite difficult to take down, because I didn't know where his head was at first.
