Bethesda Game Studio's executive producer, Todd Howard, who was recently interviewed in an OXM Podcast. Howard gives us some more reasons to look forward to the game. Over 200 reasons in fact.

You guys remember how they said Fallout 3

New details have arrived for Fallout 3 straight from will have 12 endings? Well, now the figure is closer to 200. Whoa. However, last time they said that variations to the ending are small, so it may still hold. Then again, 200 is still a huge number, even with variations in mind.

Anyway, let's move on. Here are several new details on Fallout 3 as discussed by Howard during the podcast:

The game is twice as big than when they first started.
Your character will have a party with a maximum of three, consisting of himself, a humanoid-type companion, and an NPC like Dogmeat.
Dogmeat can die, but developers are still working on Dogmeat's health system.
The game is already finished and is now being tested.
Main quest takes about 20 hours; a playthrough can take as much as 100 hours.
You can interact a lot with the Brotherhood of Steel after a certain point in the game.
Release (still) pegged for Fall 2008.
Bethesda will be staying true to the visual aesthetics of the game.

The buy link for the PS3 version links to the XBox 360 version. (Check the links out by hovering your mouse over them and you will see the PS3 and XBox 360 links are identical.)

I'd provide a link for the PS3 version but:

a) It's easy enough to find

b) If people follow my link and not yours, no one will get credit for the sale.

'The game is twice as big than when they first started.'

What exactly does that mean ? When they first started they would've had nothing or maybe only a little, so double that ain't exactly much.

Or did they mean to say it's twice as big than they expected at first ?

I can see it now, in one ending, you kill the bad guy and then trip. In another ending, you kill the bad guy, trip, and then accidently shoot yourself.

Wow, I really hope its not like that!
