Another Fallout 3 preview, courtesy of <a href=http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=44075>Worthplaying</a>:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Fallout 3 features both new and old robots, including the handyman. It will also boast many new weapons, like the "Rock-It-Launcher," which is basically a <u>toaster which can fire numerous items at your enemies</u>. Fallout 3 also includes the ability to create your own items using a crafting system, as well as combine two weapons to make one stronger or more durable. <u>Another cool new weapon is the "Lunch Box Explosive"</u>, which consists of a simple lunchbox from the pre-war days that is loaded up with explosives and can send your enemies soaring. Oh, and no, there are no drivable vehicles here — just explodable ones.</blockquote>A toaster that fires numerous items at your enemies... I actually had to read the line several times to understand this "innovative and exciting" concept.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>...your father, one of the most important people in Vault 101...</blockquote>*sigh*
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>You have the option of triggering a detonator on the bomb and evaporating Megaton and the people living there, or reporting the shady guy to the sheriff and letting the law take care of the matter.</blockquote>Finally, someone posted what the other option is.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>As for the combat system, Fallout 3 will utilize the SPECIAL stat system employed by its predecessors: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. You initially travel through the game in a real-time first-person mode, aiming your weapons like a first-person shooter and blasting away your opponents, but the cool thing about any title in the Fallout series is VATS (Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System). ... It is an innovative and exciting system to use in such a beautifully rendered 3D world.</blockquote>What does "beautifully rendered 3D world" have to do with game mechanics?

<blockquote>The demo showed off a few highly imaginative weapons, from the Suck-o-Tron, which lets you chuck useless items at enemies, to the Fatman personal miniature nuclear bomb catapult.</blockquote>It does get better and better, doesn't it?
