Journal Entry 0: A whole new world

The trailer for Fallout 4 was released recently.  I'm interested in that.  I mean, for once the community have decided that reality does not have to be brown and it looks quite exciting!  Although I'm not sure if they're implying that they had those robot helpers in the 60s.  I don't know if Fallout is supposed to be what happened after the big one hit during an otherwise historically accurate timeline.

Truth be told, I don't know anything about Fallout at all other than it seems to have all the trappings of a game that I'd really, REALLY enjoy.

I've owned Fallout 3 for years but haven't played it much for two reasons:

• I get a bit upset when the mother dies in the character creation sequence
• The last time I played it, I wandered off the beaten path, entered a subway, ran out of ammo, died, threw a tantrum and gave up

Considering how really shockingly well the Skyrim blog went down, I thought maybe I'd try the same for Fallout 3.  I'm going in fairly blind and going in with a character concept in mind.  A happy go lucky outgoing do gooder who ultimately just wants the best for people.

Knowing the way these things turn out, it could quite easily become Dragonbjorn with guns.  Actually, that's sort of guaranteed.  If you enjoyed the last blog for its slow decline into madness and sociopathy, you're probably in for a treat.
