Yes, you read that headline right. Even Suda51, whose work includes the quirky, ultra-violent titles "Killer7" and "No More Heroes," was surprised by some of the characters in "Fallout 3." When talking about storytelling in games during the "Evolving Game Design" panel, Suda said via a translator, "Even ['Fallout 3''s] minor characters are shockingly crazy and it makes me wonder what is going on in [lead designer Emil Pagliarulo's] head; Emil, I would like to open up your brain and look at it." Back at you, Suda.

When asked how he incorporates fan feedback into his next game during the "Evolving Game Design" panel, "Fallout 3" lead designer Emil Pagliarulo addressed how many gamers didn't like the fact that the game ended -- at all. "We look at other games, and how many other games end? All of them, so we'll end 'Fallout 3,'" he said of the thought process behind the idea. "Roll credits, it's over -- but people didn't like that so much." He added that "Fallout 1" ended as well, but the studio underestimated how much people viewed "Fallout 3" as a sequel to "Oblivion."
"So for us," he said, "it doesn't even go as far as the next game, it goes as far as DLC." He then explained how in the third piece of DLC for the game, titled "Broken Steel," they're addressing this issue by changing the end of the game so it doesn't end anymore. "That's a great thing about doing DLC," he said. "You don't have to wait for a full four-year development cycle; you can react in a matter of months to player feedback."

After seeing reports this morning that Xbox 360 owners were saying that the newly released "The Pitt" downloadable content for "Fallout 3" was buggy, I e-mailed Bethesda marketing v.p. Pete Hines to find out when a remedy was coming. He had already told Kotaku that the file people downloaded was corrupted. That was mid-day. Just a couple of hours ago, Hines e-mailed me with an update: "We are doing some final verification tonight that everything is ok but this should be up tomorrow. " Stay tuned, "Fallout 3" players.
