Fallout 3 to Include Clothes for your Avatar
Author: Vince | Date: July 21, 2008
It seems that Bethesda Softworks will be the first developer to jump on the ‘avatar customisation’ bandwagon when Fallout 3 is released later this year. According Major Nelson’s latest podcast, Microsoft have been approached by the Fallout 3 development team to see if they can include a hazmat suit for your avatar with the game, and it seems that they were given the big thumbs up.
So I guess this is the replacement to free gamerpics that were included in some games then? I quite like the idea personally, and at least it puts my fears to rest that you would have to dress your Mii avatar in regular clothes. I wonder if we will get a suit of COG armor with GOW2? And how long we will have to wait until we can get some Spartan Armor?
Fallout 3 is due for release this October on PC, 360 & PS3, with exclusive DLC for 360 & PC versions. Avatars will be coming to your Xbox 360 when the ‘fall dashboard update’ is released later this year.

DLC is for Xbox and Games for Windows. And since it’s only worth playing on PC I guess that’s not really a problem eh?

and in one foul swoop avatars are cool. and i suspect they’ll get cooler and cooler the more we see of them.
It’s fell swoop not foul
