Easily 100 hours?!?! So for those of us with jobs, spouses and kids we should probably not pick up this game.

"'Fo1 has 19 different endings, with 360 possible permutations. Fo2 has 47 endings with 1,105,920 permutations. If 200 is the number of permutations for Fo3, they are seriously behind. That would correspond to maybe 10-20 endings. But I'm assuming they'd have to be talking about permutations since you should know when designing a game whether you'll have ~12 or ~200 endings. You don't accidentally hop from 12 to 200 endings late in the development process and send in an order for 188 additional voiceovers from Ron Perlman (because he will KILL YOU). With permutations it would be thinkable, at least.'

Bethesda AI programmer Jay Woodward appears to be in agreement here, as we calculate that 255 permutations only requires 8 different yes-no variables (2^8-1)." -- from No Mutants Allowed

Or just manage your time better, that'd work.

I can see it now "Achievement unlocked - seen all 200 endings."

@SadisticHam

Yes, I could manage my time better.....or I could create more time, i.e. stop going to work. In all honesty, there will always be jobs out there, but there will only ever be one Fallout 3!!

I am excited for this one :) Haven't bought a game on launch day since Halo 3, and I think this one might be one I have to jump on instantly.

Don't get too upset, Abysmal. The 200 so called endings are mostly going to be variations on each other, I'm sure some of them won't be real major. That said, people that want to see every possible permutation of the ending are probably screwed.

Abyssal, if someone is disabled or Autistic that doesn't make them a loser.

Fallout 1 & 2 where fantastic, hopefully 3 will continue in that vein. If there's an achievement for seeing all possible endings I think there'll be lawsuits from people who've been fired after not turning up for work for weeks.

Anyway, Abyssal your comment is abysmal, considering disabled people as lower life forms is not a good thing to do.

its 100 hours if you wanna do all the extra stuff... the same way as mass effects is only 15 hours but can be played for over 50 hours. if you just wanna play the main quests it should take you under 40 hours...

I definitely get the impression that this is like those Wendy's ads about how you can get your burger 256 (2^8) ways, since there's 8 things you can have or not have. Frankly, "over 200" seems a bit thin for FALLOUT MOTHERFUCKING THREE.
