Fallout 3 might sound like another one of your average action role playing game but before you make any brash assumptions, read on first. The game is being developed by the Bethesda Game studios and is the third in the Fallout series. For this third release, we are taken to the year 2277 exactly 36 years since Fallout 2 and 200 years since the nuclear war the destroyed and devastated the world in which this game is set. Some previews of the game showed that it would feature 2 different perspectives which are the first and third person perspectives. The player can actually randomly change to either perspective whilst playing the game. The creation of the main character occurs as the player goes through his or her character's childhood. This is where the player would be able to set his or her character's seven primary aptitudes.

The VATS otherwise know as the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System would have a key role during the phases in the game wherein the character would encounter a fight. Whilst using VATS, the real-time combat is subsequently paused which the Bethesda developers described as somewhat like a hybrid between the turn based and the real time combat. Every action in the game costs points thus limiting every combatant's moves at every turn. Also, the players can target areas of the body in order to attack, slow down and inflict their foe with specific injuries. The game also features a newer radiation and health system where the player would be able to know just how radioactive an object is as well as make approximations on how it would affect his or her game character.

The game also incorporates a karma system and this is also another important part of the whole gaming experience. The player's every action, from their conversations to their choice of combats would affect his or her status in the Fallout 3 world. Basically, a player who makes good choices would be more positively received by the NPCs whereas a player who does otherwise would be negatively received. A player can also commit a crime and the group to which this crime is committed against would be fully informed and aware of the player's wrongdoing.
