Fallout 3 Preview

Crispy Gamer have put up the second part of their hands-on impressions of Fallout 3, with included commentary from Pete Hines.

In the nearby town, I find a dilapidated Streamline trailer — the remains of Dot’s Diner. Behind the charred counter there’s an oven. I peek inside to find that it’s empty, and get the wise idea to stash some stuff in there while I explore. I want to unload as much of my accumulated loot as I can before I make the dive into the underground (across the way I’d noticed the entrance to The Jury Street Metro Station), so I stuff the wood chipper and everything else that doesn’t seem vital into the appliance’s innards. I’ll come back for that stuff later.

You’ve got to be careful about that, because it won’t be there when you get back. You stick stuff in a Nuka Cola vending machine and come back 10 days later and it’s probably gone. Don’t leave stuff in containers that don’t belong to you, because it may not be there when you come back.
