Bethesda Software Makes Big Strides with Release of 'Fallout 3'
Have you seen the newest release from the juggernaut software company, Bethesda? The company has recently been garnering much praise from the video gaming community as a whole for their fantastically successful debut of ‘Elder Scrolls: Oblivion’ which was one of the best selling video games of all time, and has been lauded by many as one of the best role playing or RPG games of all time. And now, Bethesda Software is hard at work again, this time bringing to the eager video gaming world their next latest and greatest RPG innovation: Fallout 3.
Why Change the Old – Just Make it Better!
With Fallout 3 does come some new innovations in the RPG subset that can be classically attributed to Elder Scrolls; the interface, interactions, maps, item menus and many other features are very similar to those found in the hit game Elder Scrolls, but have been revamped and greatly improved upon to make the game easier to use. Most classically, all characters have massive amounts of vocal dialogue, which is hard to find in any other role playing game, and the graphics engine has been improved upon adding more shading properties and far faster load times, which are seemingly unobtrusive when playing this game.
