'Fallout 3' - 100 Hours Long, 200 Endings

by Terrence O'Brien, posted Apr 7th 2008 at 5:17AM

We've seen some truly massive games in our time, but the newest installment in the post-apocalyptic RPG series 'Fallout' is a truly unique beast. 'Fallout 3' is due out this fall and is sure put an end to what little social life any hardcore gamers may have. The main quest and story line take 40 hours to complete, to accomplish all the side quests will take upwards of 100 hours. And that's if you're able to breeze through with out any delay.

But the most frustrating part for a complete run-throught will be the 200 different endings. Yes 200 distinct conclusions to the game. Will many of the 200 endings be only slightly different? We'd assume as such, since 200 completely different and unrelated endings would be not only absurd, but almost impossible without throwing plot out the door.

According to developer Bethesda, the game is completed, and just needs some polish, so 'Fallout' fans have some time to get there lives in order before surrendering to the maddeningly long 'Fallout 3.'
