With Fallout 3 nineteen days out, are you excited? I sure am, and I’ve finished the game a good twenty times as either a shining good, very very madly evil, and somewhere in between guy, already. Still, I will finish it again. And again. And again. Which is eerily reminiscent of my almost-flunking of high school when Wasteland, Fallout’s big brother, father, and mentor in spirit was released. Damn you, highly immersive gameplay!
But that’s nothing compared to the Guy behind the Guide. Thought writing a game was hard? Try writing the official guide for a game such as FOIII. Non-linear, chock-full of hidden things, fraught with choices and complete 180s in gameplay if you make them. Yeah, not a sane task. Keeping that in mind (insanity and dedication, a mix that works well for Fallout 3), meet David Hodgson.
The interview with the man behind Video Game Careers (the book) is a must read if you ever though “I could do this, too.”
