In an open forum presented by Bethesda on their forums site, Todd Howard, the executive producer for the game, played a game of twenty questions with a select number of posters regarding their upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG, Fallout 3. They offered some new insights and also clarified old issues posted in previous articles about the game.

They still kept to their word of the game being a first person shooter with added features regarding the way the VATS' precise aiming can turn back the clock by reliving the old days of its turn-based aspect. They took their time explaining the VATS in detail, although most people might end up having even more questions about the system rather than answers.

They were pretty tight lipped about whether the old perks, skills and traits system will be reprised for Fallout 3 or not. They have confirmed that fans will still be able to encounter the old "suggestive" themes the previous Fallout games were notorious for. Even the casual use of drugs and other substances to raise your character's stats, along with it's corresponding side-effects, will be the same as with the previous games.

After taking a page out of Bethesda's Oblivion, Fallout 3 is definitely shaping up to be one of the most anticipated sequels to come up again after a long time.
