I guess, if I was playing F3 and the suddenly BAM! ROBOT HORSE! That would be definitely one of the most intense moments in my gaming history.

:cheeky:

Also, it makes sense there are no vehicles - you would reach the other end of the game world in no time in HumVee.


Also, "Oblivion with guns" is a very foggy statement. If it means "Free roaming in an open-ended world with solo character, environment seen from first person view - a concept remarkably similar to TES games!" I'm fine with it. As long as SPECIAL is in full effect.

All of these should have been funny/scary/thrilling SURPRISES for the player. Now I know what to expect and I will be prepared for them :

- Springvale appears deserted, but "the school holds an intriguing secret in its basement"
- "If you cause a ruckus near an Enclave-controlled area, these Vertibirds in and drop off reinforcements"
- robot horse
- "You'll also come across the Enclave; the remains of the US government who have access to incredible technology and broadcast patriotic marching band music. Their President is voiced by Malcolm “A Clockwork Orange” McDowell. He's a major villain."
- Bigtown used to be a sprawl of suburban housing, but now it's a makeshift fortress. Walls made of debris, car shells and a single, pathetic guard watches over the entrance with a rusting hunting rifle. Inside we learn that the Supermutants - giant, violent monsters spawned from the fallout of the nuclear war - have kidnapped some of their people, including a vital medic. ... The Supermutants, we learn, have set up a camp in a place called Germantown."
...fighting our way through the enemy's defences until we reach the police station. Inside, it's Fallout's version of an RPG 'dungeon' - loot to hoard, keys to find and enemies to kill.
- "We find an elementary school crawling with raiders who've been trying to tunnel into Vault 101, but have failed after disturbing a nest of giant radioactive ants. We find an old sentry bot lying in a junk pile and manage to activate it, after which it becomes our personal body guard...until a Deatclaw - a monster mutated from a grizzle bear - tears it to pieces, then kills us. Later, in a moment of madness, we wander into the heart of DC, despite warnings from the developers, and get vaporized by a remote sentry gun and a gang on Enclave soldiers."
