Albert is a level 5 dude. He has 280 hit points and 85 action points. You don't want to fuck with him.

It's entirely possible that these are special demo-only stats. Well, I certainly hope so. The question that begs to be asked though is why would they need 85 action points to show the game in action?

Edit: While I'm at it:

As anyone who played one of the earliest Elder Scrolls games can tell you, Bethesda has been doing open worlds before they were even possible. Now the developer is marrying the beautiful expanse of Oblivion with the refreshingly unique setting of Fallout. Detractors – and there are entire websites teeming with them – dismiss Fallout 3 as Oblivion with guns. But the joke's on them. Who in his right mind wouldn't think that Oblivion with guns would be frickin' awesome?

Is there such a thing as inflation for game statistics? If not, this is pretty close.

And I'm still bothered by the use of AP:s in an real-time game. What do they determine? The ammunt of time you have to execute a certain action? How many Todd Howards you can stuff in your panties?

So Beth does have a time-travelling machine after all!

 

[Damned Registrations]

They're for casting spells, duh. Haven't you ever played a real RPG before?

85 APs may translate to Fallout's 8,5 APs. 70 from the dex stat and 15 from a perk/drug.

But it's probably just a demo thing.

Thank God I'm far from "normal".

Ugh...why can't people generally be allowed to have some criticism of popular mainstream stuff in video games? I mean...this guy's almost echoing the mentality of the "new" SA that thinks anyone who detracts is a contrarian just trying to look cool.

Queue Baby Jesus facepalm!

Oh, ok. Here I was thinking that previewers needed to say more about a game than "frickin awesome". Joke's on me.

 

[Fat Dragon]

It's like Brother None once said. We're the most important commentators on F3 because we get so much attention.

That's gone in my sig. As Bart Simpson would say, 'The ironing is delicious'.

 

[Fez]

Does anyone else think it's weird that so often in the professional write-ups for the development of Fallout 3 they make a point of dismissing the critics of it? I've never noticed such a thing before with other games. Why do these journalists go out of their way to undermine any critics of the game?

hahahahahaha OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
no wonder the game is rated M for Moron.

Some random critics aren't worth mentioning in the article, prestigue RPG Codex Magazine is.

 

[Micmu]

Yeah it must be a demo thing...!!! *sigh*
They are just tweaking I'm sure!!1

I don't think they are so much dismissing critics but rather perceive themselves as defending against the waves of bitter, backwards, rabid fanboys who don't want change.

Is there something about Fallout fans different from fans of other games? Are the journalists aware of FOOS or how Oblivion measured up when held up next to past Elder Scroll games?

 

[Saxon1974]

Isn't it amazing how game journaliism is now?

Basically if you don't think this game is gonna be awesome then your nuts. So we aren't allowed to have our own opinions now? Is Bethesda and other big game companies and magazines going to tell us how to feel now?

Funny, I thought we were still allowed to make up our own minds. I guess I missed something somewhere.

 

[Unradscorpion]

I didn't even play FO1 or finished FO2, but this still makes me sick...

 

[1eyedking]

Wasn't Albert the pre-made "lawyer" character in FO1?

 

[obediah]

Oh teh Ironings!

Of all the ways Bethesda has fucked Fallout 3 by "modernizing" it, a nice high res character sheet would have been nice. Instead they fill 70% of the screen with filler and add two levels of tabs to make sure can never see more than half of what you want to know at once.

Fallout 3: By amoebae, for amoebae

 

[Crazy Tuvok]

These guys made Daggerfall. Fucking Daggerfall. Damn man. Let the motherfucking badtimes roll.

 

[Raapys]

Nah, not these guys. Daggerfall was Julian Lefay's project who's long gone, and besides Todd, who was unimportant back then, the rest of the original team is pretty much gone too.

I know, they're the fucking Stones after Jagger and Richards have died. But still - y'know?

 

[Raapys]

The old days <3

 

[Nicolai]

Big numbers will obviously be F3's downfall.
