Each page of the book lets you add or subtract points to each attribute you only have a limited pool to distribute total. Like its predecessors, Fallout 3 relies on the SPECIAL role-playing system, which stands for Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. However, this is when you'll also pick up your "You're SPECIAL" book, which looks like a children's book complete with rhymes. (Alas, poor mom didn't survive your childbirth.) This is literally a baby steps kind of moment that introduces you to the basics of walking around the world, as well as interacting with objects, like opening the door to your play pen and climbing up on chairs. Now you're a toddler, and good ol' dad is proudly watching you stumble around before he drops you in your steel-fenced play pen and heads out to work. Then the camera fades out, and the next thing you know it's one year later. ![]() When you're done, you'll finally get a look at dad as he comes into the light, and you'll discover that his character is procedurally generated to look similar to whatever you come up with. There are plenty of options to choose from, some quite colorful, like the "gunslinger" option for facial hair. This is when you get to actually choose your character's look, picking from either preset selections or creating a custom look by mixing and matching different attributes. Then good ol' dad decides to bring in the growth projector to predict what you'll look like when you're older. And like with any new baby, one of the first things they say is, "It's a boy/girl!" That's because this is the very first selection that you make when creating a character, and which option you choose will determine the gender pronoun used throughout the game (One fun little bit of trivia is that if you press the A button during this sequence you'll trigger a baby cry). Don't worry: Bethesda doesn't get graphic in this sequence all you see in blackness before your eyes focus, but you can very clearly hear the doctor and your father discuss your birth. ![]() You'll literally emerge from your mother's womb and open your eyes to see a doctor and your father (voiced by Liam Neeson) looking down on you. We learned last year that character creation was tied into your character's birth in Vault 101, but we finally got to see what Bethesda was talking about.
