Here's the Recap of All the Highlights From Bethesda's E3 Showcase

It was a highlight-packed showcase with dozens of awesome moments that made the crowd cheer. DOOM and Dishonored 2 made appearances, but the obvious star of the show was Fallout 4. To say we're hyped is the understatement of the century.

Fallout 4 will start before the Great War of 2077.

You are living day-to-day life in Boston in 2077 when you receive the news that a nuclear holocaust is mere minutes away.

The character creator is grab-and-pull based.

Gone are the days of sliders. You grasp a part of your character's face and drag it the way you see fit, allowing for more seamless and holistic character creation.

11

You customize your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. when a Vault-Tec representative shows up at your door in 2077.

via Bethesda Softworks

He's filing paperwork for Vault-Tec and, for some reason, needs to know just how charismatic you are, a trait you display quickly by shutting the door in his face.

It was a little bit... unwieldy.

The in-game Pip-Boy has classic retro games you can play on it.

Like this one, Red Menace, presumably about wasting commies.
17

Of course, no triple-A game release would be complete these days without a smartphone game to accompany it.

via Bethesda Softworks

Fallout Shelter is a smartphone game for iOS that put players in the role of overseer for their own personal vault. Make babies, defend against raiders, and micromanage your vault dwellers in as totalitarian a fashion as you want. According to Todd Howard, the game is free and won't come with paywalls, which is a huge relief. Then again, this wasn't what the conference was all about.

Unlike having to wait for release of Fallout 4, Fallout Shelter is available NOW. Sorry, Android users, but it's iOS only.
33
People are already putting the vault customization in Fallout Shelter for iOS to good use.
