The unfairly lucky guys at Joystiq have recently been given a demo of Fallout 3, in a shady hotel room.. anyway.. here is what they had to say –

In a hotel conference room, Bethesda’s Pete Hines recently demoed the latest version of the Fallout 3. He trudged through a collapsed building, firing a machine gun at ambling, radiated mutants. The gore made me wince a little, with blood gurgling from zombie limbs. Earlier, he shot the head off another enemy, and blood arced straight out of the neck, as if it was trying to reach the brain one last time.

The character creation steps sound awesome; something I’m particularily focussed on due to my need for the most kicking character, who absolutely has to have the saddest background.

Only minutes earlier, he’d shown me how the player’s character grows up in an underground bunker, with those moments acting partly as tutorial and partly as a character creator.

An on top of that, the number of endings is now over 500. Ridiculous. Read on at Joystiq.
