    Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
    It's from a VATS head targeted shot that's why his head goes flying off.
    VATS only lets you target the entire enemy in melee combat.

    In the video that's from he targets the heads. That's why it's decapitation station.

    As for me, I'll travel the wastes in a trenchcoat and wide-brimmed hat and be known as the smiling reaper. If you get on my bad side you can request how you will want it all to end, perforation or extra crispy.

    But if these idiots are to act on those threats, does that mean they'll have to get out of their basement?
    Could they even do that?

    Back on topic, hearing these positive comments about Fallout 3 is just making me want to play it more and more. I was excited since the day I learned about this, but there was always a tiny part of my brain that was cautiously optimistic, and trying to reject the hype. Now I welcome said hype with open arms. Come to me, Fallout 3!

    While waiting in line for the demo yesterday someone knocked one of the mannequins over onto it's face. It looked *quite* post-apocalyptic after being caved in quite nicely. The demo was worth waiting for though... I queued up four headshots with VATS - the fourth shot was a rather graphic decapitation. M for Mature is right.

    I also caught an eyeful/earful of some plot that we weren't supposed to see. Considering a twist was coming so early into the game it looks like the main story is going to be a blast.

    The question at the point is 360 or Games for Windows... Exclusive DLC in this case is a bit more of a draw for me here than it was for GTA 4.

    And considering how mod heavy past Bethsoft games are and the fact that this is Fallout 3, I will wager that the mod scene will be quite large.

    All those hit points didn't really matter for her - you could poke her in the eye and she'd splatter across half the cave.

    I was never really bothered by the higher HP in Fallout 2. You didn't have the level limit, and if you paced yourself and got extra exp, got some good perks and a good gun, you could take everything short of Frank Horrigan's hp down in one good hit. My most overpowered build involved maxed agility and perception, sniper, better criticals, action boy, and fast shot. You give up targeted shots (you can waste a perk on mutate to hold off on fast shot until you've got the other perks in place), but get a gun that fires in as few AP as you can put out four big crits every turn. By the time I got down to San Francisco, I was splattering entire Enclave patrols in one turn.

    I'll always remember fondly how RPGCodex was going on and on about how Oblivion was not a proper Role-Playing game because the user had too much control of the Role of their character.

    I too am not sure on what platform to buy Fallout 3 on... PC is very tempting just for the mods, but there's just this strange pleasurable sensation about putting a disk into my 360 for the first time and knowing that it will WORK.

    The CIA and other government facilities stopped this testing too early to have included so many people in these sites' age ranges. I think there's something toxic used in the creation of video games - too much contact with the same game causes a form of dementia.
