Fallout 3 intro

The Fallout 3 intro is structured like all other intros in the series: a pre-rendered sequence is followed by a narration using still images with Ron Perlman's voiceover.

The intro was first presented as a cinematic teaser trailer for Fallout 3, consisting of the first part of the intro, was released by Bethesda Softworks on June 5, 2007, after a 30 day countdown on the Fallout 3 website. During the countdown, a new piece of concept art by Craig Mullins was revealed on every Tuesday.

Intro
The intro starts in the wreck of a bus, with a Radiation King radio playing the song "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" sung by The Ink Spots. Above the bus windows, there are posters encouraging people to enlist with the U.S. Army and to buy a place in a Vault (featuring the Vault Boy). The camera then moves outside the bus, showing a ruined city, some art deco architecture and a Corvega ad, and finally, a paladin in T-45d power armor with a laser rifle and an uniquely positioned Brotherhood of Steel symbol on his breastplate..

Narration
When the city intro fades to black, Ron Perlman's narration begins and states:
