Fallout: New Vegas director Josh Sawyer has revealed which ideas made it into his game from his former studio's canceled version of Fallout 3.
Sawyer's career got started at Black Isle, the legendary CRPG studio behind the first two Fallout games, and D&D RPGs like Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale. Towards the end of the studio's life, the team - including Sawyer - was working on what would have been Fallout 3, a project codenamed Van Buren. Black Isle would be closed down and the project canceled before it could be brought to life, but that didn't stop Sawyer from borrowing a few ideas for New Vegas several years later.
