    New poll

    absolutely, yes - especially if they already have in mind to do whatever garnered 20% of the vote. i also think there's a good chance they'd see the poll's winning option as the one and only big "concession" that they'd have to make to please the fanbase, freeing them to mangle every other...

    New poll

    those are some of the reasons why this poll confuses me. 1st person perspective, realtime combat or a RT/TB hybrid, Morrowind topical dialogue, and lack of the setting, each would all handily and thoroughly skullfuck Fallout 3 by themselves. taking that into consideration, i don't...

    New poll

    maybe it should be chalked up to my being long out of the loop, but i don't understand this poll. most of the choices are equally disastrous, yet the idea is to pick only one... which gives the false impression that some are better than others. "Lack of original dark post-apoc 50's SF...

    Snippet about FO3 @ NGR Oblivion interview

    would you tell us what Bethesda thinks is good and memorable about Fallout, Mr.Hines? no? boy! that sure is neat-o keen! the last time somebody claimed they were making a game with the spirit of Fallout in mind while simultaneously refusing to explain what exactly that spirit is, the...

    Fallout 3 will, y'know, like...not be at E3

    what you're talking about is your desire for the entire Fallout fanbase to become spineless and wheedling apologists, like you, for the purpose of buffing Bethesda's ass to a dazzling shine with our lips. and you know what? you're right. they're paid professionals after all, they need us to...

    Interplay in trouble.

    because he's ridiculously arrogant.

    Interplay now without an accountant

    as long as Interplay still exists, even if it's just barely, then Herve can hang on to the delusion that he was right all along. it was a good thing to greenlight FO:BoS. it was a good thing to axe Black Isle Studios. every decision he made that doomed Interplay alittle more was good. it was...

    mod fails to load when i add .INT files

    the only .INT i'm packing in is an unmodified copy of acklint.int. no worries about matching the scripts.lst.

    mod fails to load when i add .INT files

    i tried that. resulted in the same thing. i really wish there was a DAT maker that consistantly worked.

    mod fails to load when i add .INT files

    i searched around, and i couldn't find anything relating to this. i'm using DAT Explorer to create DATs and ModRunner to load them. this works just fine if i'm throwing .MSG files in them, but if i include any .INT files, Fallout 2 fails to recognize the entire DAT even if they're unaltered...

    DAC Scores Interview With Todd Howard.

    while there may be Fallout fans somewhere on this planet who wouldn't like Fallout 3 simply because it has 3D graphics, i've never seen one. i've never heard of another fan who's seen one. i only hear of them from people who know almost nothing about Fallout, and as none of them have produced...

    Bethesda hiring for Fallout 3

    making it garbage in the eyes of the huge majority of Fallout fans, who are the only ones that the license has any worth to. which would also make it a commercial failure, the same as the last two Fallout games to "disappoint", not to mention the fact that it'd destroy Bethesda's reputation...

    IPLY still alive?

    "post-apocalyptic" isn't a hot phrase in the industry, at least not among the people who know what they're doing. it's got no edge over any other setting, currently, and i don't think it has for quite a while. the massively multiplayer market isn't especially hot, either. it's the coolest i...

    Fallout in 20 gaming lows

    what people? where? you must not mean Fallout fans, because first of all, they aren't against change. second, i just explained in detail how and why it's a load of bullshit to say otherwise. so if you mean Fallout fans, you must be very fucking dense. wait a second. is this what you mean by...

    Fallout in 20 gaming lows

    where does this line of thinking come from? Van Buren and the changes it bought to Fallout were accepted by the majority. there's an entire forum here dedicated to ideas and suggestions for Fallout 3, most of which obviously involve change. the way to avoid dissapointing Fallout fans has been...

    Fallout and Bethesda

    that's more worrying to me than if a developer said what he said, Todd being the executive producer and all. appreciate that you're actually trying cool things down and calm the fans' fears, though. hopefully Todd is alot more with it now. because he's a target potential customer, you...

    Gameinformer snibblet about Fo3

    i don't think Pete's the big problem, here. to me it's looking more and more like he's just trying to keep the lid on some plans for Fallout 3 that'll make the fanbase write it off as another FO:BoS. either way, though, this is getting uncomfortably stupid.

    Todd is on a rampage

    goddamnit. look, Bethesda, Fallout made the impact that it did because it was Fallout, and Fallout is nothing but the sum of its parts. remove those parts, and you get something like Tactics and FO:BoS. in otherwords, not Fallout. it can't be boiled down to some "core essance" and remain itself...

    First Fo3 release date posted

    right, it'd be brilliant if Bethesda adopts that attitude, decides Fallout fans don't really know what they want, and excludes turn-based or isometric or whatever else because it "isn't a good thing to add", wouldn't it?

    First Fo3 release date posted

    ah, "too early" still applies to Van Buren. no problem, then. though i haven't been tooling around here for long myself, welcome. you'll probably find Fallout fans aren't half the cult of raving merderous crazies they're supposed to be.
