Although the "Oblivion countdown" was a lot more exciting, when they unveiled The Elder Scrolls IV a few years ago, Bethesda is still doing a pretty good job nowdays, keeping us in suspense. As we said last week, they recently started another countdown, this time for the first Fallout 3 teaser trailer that will go live in 26 days. The game's website first displayed an artwork of an arid wasteland, and one week later, a new post-apocaliptic picture is here to whet our appetite. And uhh... Washington, we have a problem!
As you can see, this new concept art shows a superbly devastated Washington Capitol, which would be quite a sight to show up in the actual game world as well. It might not look so impressive, but at least we now have a better idea of where Bethesda is going with Fallout 3. And we sure wouldn't want to stop them!
Also this week, the developer announced that Liam Neeson will voice the player's father and will appear prominently throughout the game. And if you don't know who Liam Neeson is, think Schindler's List, Darkman, or more recently Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn - Obi-Wan Kenobi's mentor from Star Wars Episode I.
"This role was written with Liam in mind, and provides the dramatic tone for the entire game", said Todd Howard, Executive Producer of Fallout 3. "Liam is absolutely amazing to work with." "No other details on Fallout 3 have yet been revealed by Bethesda", they painfully remind us, so we'll just have to be patient for a little while longer. Expect more updates of the Fallout 3 website in the coming weeks, and don't forget about the Van Buren (ex-Fallout 3) tech demo that was set loose earlier this month.
