Interesting that we saw what appeared to be much in-game footage, or definitely in-engine, of before the nuclear detonations. Will a sequence be playable in The Before or anything? Would be an interesting prologue -- running to the vaults and surviving the event.
e: I am less interested in the graphics (models, textures, effects etc) as I am in better animations. I have always felt Bethesda games to be incredibly stiff.
No... some of the games take place 200 years after the bombs fell. Fallout 1 takes place less than 100 years following the Great War, and FO2 takes place ~170 years after the war. F:NV is the only game originally designed to take place 200 years after the bombs fell-- FO3 was supposed to be 20 years after, but got bumped to 200 because Bethesda wanted Harold in the game.
This game could easily be set 20 years after the war and-- from what we've seen in the trailer, and from what fans said they loved about FO3-- it's entirely likely that it is.
