Fallout 3 has got to be one of the most hotly anticipated titles ever for me. This trailer furthers my belief that the series is in good hands with Bethesda. The trailer starts in typical Fallout fashion with some sort of ad (this one features Mr. Handy), zooming out to show a devasted landscape. After that, it goes on to show a bloody mess of a montage of gameplay footage with a cameo by Dogmeat. I just wish we could see some more of the RPG aspect of it.

The battle scenes, though gorgeous, leave me wondering how, exactly, it will function. I seem to recall hearing that the battle system would be flexible between a sort of turn based-type system which allows you to target body parts (like the originals) and the run-and-gun style gameplay that dominates this trailer.
