Finally started playing Fallout 3. I’ve been a fan of the series since stopping by by buddy Scott’s place years ago and playing Wastelands with him. A couple thoughts on the subject:

• It’s crawling with supermutants. What the hell?
• Animating the human face is something the Havok engine just doesn’t handle very well. I’m under the distinct impression that these people’s skin doesn’t fit over their heads properly.
• People sure are talkative in the post-apocalypse. They just love to drone on and on about every little subject. Must be lonely or something.
• I don’t remember radscorpions being so tough. I seem to recall beating the snot out of one with my bare hands early in Fallout and schooling several with a spear in Fallout 2. In Fallout 3 a chinese assault rifle barely puts a dent in one.
• God damn landmines. God damn them.
