Bethesda sends word that Fallout 3 has gone gold. Fans of The Elder Scrolls titles already know what to expect here, but for those of you that don’t. Fallout 3 is an open world title set 200 years after the events of a nuclear war that happened circa the 1950’s. You’re able to create any kind of character you want as you explore and fight to survive in the open wastes of Washington D.C. Mash-up Mad Max with Oblivion and you’ll get an idea of what’s going on here.

Fallout 3 will release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on October 28th. Stay tuned.
