建筑的破败
对于游戏中所表现的美国华盛顿特区来说,最具有代表意义的建筑是国会广场,林肯纪念堂,华盛顿纪念碑,在现实生活中,这三座美国的标志性建筑分别代表着不同的象征意义。
under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
(By Abraham Lincoln)
在美国人心中,亚伯拉罕林肯是伟大的解放者,革命者。林肯纪念堂正是美国人民为了纪念被刺的林肯总统所建立的建筑。在现实生活中,林肯纪念堂是一座风格与古希腊帕台农神庙相类似的新古典主义建筑。白色的建筑从远处看非常圣洁,在纪念堂内部大厅,林肯的雕像坐在大厅的正中央,给人以威严之感。就建筑意义来说林肯纪念堂就象征着自由精神。在辐射3中(如图1所示)核战后的林肯纪念堂已经破败不堪,被强盗和雇佣兵占领向过路者索要路费,如果不同意他们会毫无人道的开枪射击。进入纪念堂中,林肯的雕像已经被毁坏,整个大厅也毫无肃穆之感。辐射3的设计师在对于辐射的建筑进行破败设计,通过这些设计表现游戏背景下故事剧情中的情感,这里的林肯纪念堂就是体现核战之后人民失去自由,独裁和压迫的出现。
同样是破败设计,华盛顿纪念碑则表现的意义更为强烈,华盛顿纪念碑是为了纪念美国国父华盛顿所建立的建筑[ George Washington: A Life],象征着美国建国的荣耀,华盛顿纪念碑是已知现今最高的石碑。在游戏辐射3中,此处设计师对于游戏破败修改与游戏背景做了一些关联思考,盛顿纪念碑周围的石壁基本已经破损(如图2所示),但还有一部分保存完好。此处的设计的意义是为了体现国家将近毁灭但还存在,当玩家第一次踏足华盛顿特区前的国会广场,周围的建筑基本都已损坏唯一矗立的只有华盛顿纪念碑,从后面的剧情我们可以发现故事剧情中,代表这个国家的组织还没消失,依然在执行国家维护安定的权利。
国会广场作为所有修改设计中改动最大的部分,也代表了许多不同的意义。在现实中美国国家广场由大片绿地组成(如左图所示),一直从林肯纪念堂延伸到国会大厦,美国国家广场是举行庆典、仪式的地方。本身当初的设计者在设计中就将广场设计的左右对称非常规整,并且用大量草坪覆盖,这样做的原因是因为,石质地面会给人以强权且独裁的感觉,这点与自由精神所不符合。
美国国家广场可以说是美国联邦核心秩序的象征,也是国家秩序的门面,辐射3的国家广场(如图3所示)不仅没有任何绿地,广场也被毫不留情的破坏,变成了纵横交错的战壕,周围的建筑全部损坏,象征着法律的国会大厦已经坍塌了一半,设计师希望通过这种方式来体现辐射3背景中,战乱频发,混乱恐怖压抑的背景
4.1.3 The changes of symbolic meanings
The regeneration of buildings
The pictures of buildings
Picture number 1 2 3
Building name The memorial Hall of Lincoln The milestone of Washington Square for national meeting
Extent of regeneration Damages to the Lincoln Statue Damages to the milestone Squares turned war areas
meaning Lose freedom The ruin of a country Chaos of orders
To the Washington d.c. in America manifested in games, the most symbolic buildings are the square for national meetings, the memorial hall of Lincoln and the milestone of Washington. In real life, they represent different symbolic meanings.
在上帝之下,应当有一个新生的自由,政府的人,由人民,为人民,比不从地球上消亡。
(亚伯拉罕林肯)
In Americans′ hearts, Abraham Lincoln is a great imperialist and a revolutionist. The memorial hall of Lincoln was built in memory of Lincoln. In real life, it is a new-classical building with resemblance to the ancient Greek Parthenon. White building are very holy and clean from the distance, and in the inner hall of the memorial, the statue of Lincoln is set in the central part. In terms of architectural meaning, the Lincoln memorial hall symbolizes for freedom. In radiation 3(indicated as in picture 1) the memorial hall of Lincoln has become broken after the nuclear war, was occupied by bandits and mercenaries and ask passer-by for the trip. If disagrees, they will be humane shot. Entering into the memorial hall, one can see that the statue of Lincoln has been destroyed, with no holiness in the hall. The designer for radiation3 is doing broken design to the buildings of radiation, through which the feelings of the plot of stories in the background of games are manifested. The memorial hall is here to demonstrate the emergence of dictatorship and repression and loss of freedom after the nuclear war.
The same is broken design. The meaning of the Washington Monument is more intense, which was built for the American Father Washington, symbolizing the glory of the funding of America, and it is by far the highest stone monument in the world. In game radiation3, the designer made some related thinking about the revision of broken games and the background of it, the stone pillars surrounded the monument is already broken , leaving a part intact. The meaning of the design here is s to show that the country is nearly destroyed but still exist. When the player first set foot in the Square for National Meetings in the front of the Washington d.c., the surrounding buildings are all there except the Washington Monument, and from the latter part of the plot, we can see that it stands for the mechanism of the country has not disappeared and is still maintain stability in the implementation of the rights.
The square for national meetings is the mostly changed part of the design, it also stands for different meanings(shown in the left picture), Stretching all the way from Lincoln Monument to the National Building, the National Square of America is a place for celebrations and ceremonies. In reality, the initial designers designed the square equally and is covered by many lawns; the reason is that stone grounds possess the feeling of dictatorship, which is not in accordance with the spirit of freedom.
The National Square of America can be the symbolization of the core orders of federal America, and it is also the storefront of national orders. Not only does The National Square in radiation3(as showed in picture three) has any grasslands, but also it is destroyed without sympathy, leading to the criss-cross war area. The surrounding buildings is a completely destroyed, the National Building which stands for law is partly fallen down. The designers wish to manifest the background of the repetition of wars, chaos, terrors by this means in radiation3.
4.2 建筑内部结构
建筑内部概念设计想要给予人很强烈的感觉,置物与建筑内部整体风格的把握非常重要。
辐射3 是一款很强调游戏理念的游戏,对于游戏的故事的意义的要求非常高,辐射系类游戏之所以能在此方面十分突出,其原因除了设计师对于细节设计十分用心之外,本身辐射系列这种类型的游戏,往往要比其他类型游戏能更加突出游戏细节表现,(fps类型很难对于细小的细节进行表现,过于快速的游戏节奏会使玩家没有太多时间仔细思考设计师的用意)文章开头我们就提到过,辐射系列是经典的欧美RPG游戏[角色扮演游戏(RPG,英文全称Role-Playing Game)^ 2.0 2.1 "[Matt] Check |authorlink= value (帮助). Dungeons and Desktops: The History of Computer Role-playing Games. A K Peters, Ltd. 2000. ISBN 978-1-56881-411-7.],辐射系列前两部作品是典型的全视角RPG系列,而第三部则转变为3DRPG游戏。从游戏的质量上来讲,辐射3的转型是非常成功的,辐射3在3D化之后,通过玩家的主视角看到的废土则更为真实荒凉,以第一人称视角体验整个废土,对于玩家的感受,辐射系列的故事风格更为突出。在辐射3中,第一人称的代入感十分强烈,从第一人称视角下看整个破败的华盛顿特区,在配上美国40年代的爵士乐,颓废感油然而生,而场景中的细节体现也并没有随着刺激的战斗被玩家忽视,本身辐射3依然保留前两部的RPG元素,玩家会画大量的时间在整个地图上探索,随着探索的过程,玩家自然会注意到一些重要的细节。辐射3的优秀之处就在于任何类型的玩家都可以在辐射中找到应有的乐趣,这就是为何辐射3的细节设计对故事风格有着如此强烈的影响。
4.2 The internal structure of buildings
The buildings′ internal designs of concept want to leave a strong impression. It is very important to master objects and the internal styles of buildings.
Radiation3 is a game which stresses the concept of the game very much, which has a high standard for the meaning of the story. The reasons for radiation games′ being standing out in this aspect, apart from the designers concentrate on detail designs, on the other hand, compared with other games, the games of radiation themselves stress more on the details of games,( the category of fps can hardly manifest the small details, for the high speed of games gives players little time to think the intentions of designers) we mentioned in the beginning of this article that radiation series is a classical RPG game from Europe and America. The first two pieces are the classical RPG series, and the third one changes to 3DRPG games. In terms of the quality of games, the change of radiation3 is very successful. After the 3D edition comes into being, the deserted soil is truer and more deserted seen from the main angle of players; to the feeling of players by experiencing the whole deserted soil in the first person, the style of the story in the radiation series is more stressed. In radiation3, the introduction of the first person is very strong; the feeling of degeneration comes by seeing the destroyed Washington d.c., plus Jazz in the 1940s′ America. And the manifestation of details in the setting is not ignored by players with thrilling battles going on. Radiation3 still keeps the elements of the first two pieces, and players will spend much time in exploring on the map. With the process of the exploration, players will see some important details naturally. The upsides in radiation3 lie in players of any kind can find fun in it, and this ids the reason why the designs in radiation3 has such a strong impact on the style of the story.

场景表现 被科学家占领,主体光源不再是白色光,而是发出青色的光芒,大量的玻璃与电缆体现出强烈的科技感
原先的展品已经不见,场馆中到处散落着尸体,整个场馆被野蛮的怪物当做据点,灯光昏黄。
原始样貌 杰弗逊纪念堂中央矗立着杰弗逊的雕像,整个大厅非常空旷,复古。 整个场馆大厅整齐的放置着,灯光明亮,文明有序
修改 将杰弗逊纪念堂进行修改,在纪念堂周围铺设管道,在雕像周围添加了大量的仪器 将所有展品去除,对于博物馆内的墙壁进行破损设计
意义的表现 杰弗逊纪念堂象征着希望,而在主线剧情中发生在纪念堂的净水计划也是如此 象征着文明的衰落,野蛮暴力充斥着这个世界
对背景剧情的影响 对于游戏整体故事的价值观影响 对于游戏的气氛以及环境有着影响
在游戏中,设计基本将华盛顿特区的所有历史建筑,进行了重新设计,在游戏中大部分的历史建筑都遭到破坏。
设计师将这些建筑分类。
科学类建筑,例如博物馆,图书馆此类的建筑,设计师基本将内部设计的被强盗,变异生物,雇佣兵占领,借此来表现辐射3故事背景下野蛮的人性关系。
而历史类建筑或是跟国家与政府相关的建筑。诸如纪念碑,纪念堂,军事大楼,要员官邸,基本都被毁坏,设计师通过此种方式来表现辐射3游戏背景故事之下,法律的消亡,混乱的社会情况
4.2.1. Halls

Manifestation of scenarios Occupied by scientists, the main source of light is no longer a white one, but the blue light. A large amount of glass and cable reflect a strong sense of science and technology.
The original items was missing, bodies littered venues. As a stronghold, the whole stadium was brutal monsters, lights were dimmed.
Original looks The central part of the Jefferson Memorial Hall stands the Statue of Jefferson. The whole hall is very empty and ancient. The whole stadium hall placed in rows, brightly lit, civilized and orderly.
Revisions Revise the Jefferson Memorial Hall, lay pipes around it and add around the statue a large number of instruments. Remove all the exhibits, do broken design to the wall of the museum.
The manifestation of meanings The Jefferson Memorial Hall symbolizes hope, so is the water purification program happened in the memorial hall in the main story. Standing for the decline of civilization, and the world is filled with brutal violence.
The influence to the background story Impacts to the game values of the whole story Influence to the game′s atmosphere and environment.
In the game,almost all the historical buildings of Washington d.c. Have been redesigned.The majority of the historical buildings were destroyed.
Designers categorized these buildings.
Buildings of science, like museums and libraries, designers made the interior design occupied by robbers, variable creatures and mercenaries, through which to show the brutal human relations.
Whereas historical buildings are related both to countries and governments, such as monuments, memorial halls, military buildings and VIP′s mansion are almost all being destroyed. In this way, the designers want to show the disappearance of laws and the social conditions of chaos.
4.2.2. 走廊
前文所述,走廊的光源与置物会影响玩家在场景中的整体感觉,从而提醒函游戏整体背景风格,一下的三个实例均为辐射3中较为突出的三个地点。

4.2.2. Corridors
As mentioned above, the source of lights and objects influence players′ integral feelings in the scene, so to remind the background style of games, the following three examples are all prominent places in radiation3.
The sources of lights and object

Corridors Jefferson Memorial Hall National Library National Museum
Introductions The deserted Jefferson Memorial Hall was long, dark and very depressed. The halls and corridors of the National Library were severely damaged. The corridor of the National Museum is dim and there are a large number of columns.
Source of light There are two places of light.
The first one is at the end of the corridor.
The second one is between walls and ceilings.
The overall source of light is dim. There are two places of light.
The bright and dark drop light on the ceiling.
Light on the crack of the door.
The overall source of light is weak. Only one place of light.
Light dim lamp on the corner of the corridor, and the overall sense is dark.
Objects With almost no objects, there are a few scattered garbage and stones. A large number of books scattered on the floor, and waste paper is everywhere. Trenches and bunkers occupy the entire floor, and corps are littered everywhere.
Conclusions Let players feel that this is a facility remains idle for a long time. Let players feel the disappearance of chaos and civilization. Let players feel savage and wars.
4.2.3 房间
如上文所提到的,房间是个人隐私的空间,房间的置物表现可以体现游戏背景下人物的心理状态,因而房间中的置物才是房间场景的核心。对于游戏设计师来说,设计一款有着大量真实存在的物品作为背景的游戏,需要考虑到玩家的感受,也要考虑对于剧情的影响,换句话说,设计师在设计一个物体时,并不能将其当做毫无根据的幻想物品来设计,而是应该考虑到其在游戏中的背景架构下发生的可行性,也应该考虑到与此事物有关的游戏架构下与之的联系,这样才能给予玩家深刻的印象。

置物 仅仅只有两张床铺,以及一台老旧的电脑与台灯,房间非常破旧但是十分整洁 有着大量的仪器以及两张欧式风格画框的油画挂在墙上,我们可以看到有大量的药品放在桌上 有着大量的,现代设计风格的家具,整体房间布局非常紧凑,但是可以看到有许多战前的书籍与饰物在房间内
光感 整体光感为暖光,整体色调偏黄色微冷 整体光感为冷光,整体色调偏冷 整体光感为暖光,整体色调偏暖
影响 体现出军队的简单,无个人饰品也说明,战乱频发,士兵经常离开,牺牲。 体现出科学家内心的空虚,研究的时间非常长,但需要靠大量的药物来维持脆弱的精神 表现出整个游戏背景下,个人生活的不易-居住的地方非常狭小。人们怀念战前的时光,狭小紧凑的空间与暖光使得整个房间相较于外部的阴冷更显温馨
4.2.3 Rooms
As mentioned above, a room is a place of privacy, the manifestation of a room′s s people′s mental conditions under the background of the game, therefore, the objects in the rooms are the core of the room scene. To the designers of games, when designing a game with a large number of rel objects as the background, they need to take players′ feelings into account, as well as influence to the plot. In other words, when designing an object, they cannot do it as an object of fantasy which is based on nothing, but they need to take the feasibility of it under the background of the game into account, as well as the relationship with the things with which the game framework has something to do with; only in this way can we leave players with a deep impression.
Pictures
Owners of rooms Soldiers Scientists Personal rooms
Objects There only two beds, an old computer and desk lamps. The room is very shabby but very tidy. There are a number of instruments and two European style frame oil paintings hanging on the wall. We can see that there are a large number of drugs placed on the table. There are many furniture of modern design style. The whole room layout is very compact, but in the room there are a lot of books and decorations before the war.
Sense of light The overall feeling is warm light, and the whole tonal is slant yellow and slightly cold. The overall feeling is cold light, and the whole tonal is slant cold. The overall feeling is warm light, and the whole tonal is slant warm.
Influences Showing the simpleness of armies; the phenomenon of having no personal accessories shows that there are frequent wars, soldiers often leave and sacrifice. Reflect the emptiness inside scientists, although the time spent on research is very long, but that requires a large number of drugs to maintain the fragile spirit. Reflect under the overall background of the games, personal life is not easy: the living place is very small. People miss the time before the war, and small and compact space made the room warmer than the outside coldness.
4.2.4. 楼梯间
在整个带有楼梯间的场景中,这些设施多半是科技设施以及军事设施,辐射3的设计中此类设施都带有超长的环形楼梯间,在场景内部表现巨大的设施时,通过这种方式可以使玩家完整的观察到巨型建筑的内部结构,在视觉上具有强烈的冲击力,辐射3的科技场景通常通过这种方式表现科技场景内部的复杂以及巨大,体现出辐射3背景中核战前的科技水平以及军事实力以及与当下环境的对比。
4.2.4. Stairs
In the scene with a staircase, these facilities are mostly technology ones and military ones. Such facilities in the designs of radiation 3 have super long circular staircases. Showing great facilities in the inside scene, in this way we can let players observe the inner structures of enormous buildings completely, and there is a strong impact on the vision. In this way, the science and technology scene of radiation 3 can perform the complex and huge inner scene. It reflects the level of science and technology and military strength in the background of radiation 3, and the comparison with the present environment.

总结 Showing the style of the internal scene by means of details and the impacts on the background of he story of internal scene. This is similar to the role of the instance. Showing the big scenario by a large number of external scene designs, emphasizing on the feelings of the background stories, most of which are symbolic meanings. This is similar to the role of the conclusion.
Differences The description is detailed, emphasizing on a small scale, the emotional performance of single things and people. The description is macro, emphasizing on big scenes, the overall scene, and the emotional performance of games as a whole.
Similarities Through details inside the scene, show stories under the background of games. Through enormous scenes, show stories happening under the background of games.
在辐射3中,场景概念设计对于整个游戏的背景影响深远。外部场景类似于对于辐射3游戏故事背景的总结,体现大的方向较为直观,在短时间内,能给予普通的玩家能强烈的故事背景的理念表现。
而内部场景的作用对于核心玩家来说更为重要,在长时间的游戏中使玩家通过细节来了解游戏理念,人文思想,故事背景,使游戏整体更为丰满。辐射3在各方面的评价都十分出色这与辐射3的场景设计是分不开的,辐射系列通过场景表现来影响剧情的手法也是独树一帜的。
In radiation 3, the impacts of scene concept designs to the background of the overall game is profound. Similar to the conclusion of the story background in radiation 3, the external scene reflects that the direction of the big is more intuitive. In the short term, this can give ordinary players a strong performance of concept of the story background.
While the role of the internal scene is more important to core players. Through details, players can understand the game concept, humanistic thought, story background, thus making the game as a whole fuller. In radiation 3, the evaluation in all aspects is very good, and this is inseparable with the scene design in radiation 3. The method of influencing the plot through scene performance is very unique.
