RPG Codex member Jedi_Learner has posted an Age of Decadence Unofficial FAQ on the RPG Codex forums. He has collected the statements of Vince D. Weller, head of Iron Tower Studios, on various aspects of the game. A brief selection of questions and answers:<blockquote>Q: What is Age of Decadence...

You should check out nearly any of the Fallout threads on the Something Awful forums, usually they quickly degenerate into circular maligning of NMA, much of which appears to have started because of the HayT affair. We have also been previously featured as an Awful Link of the Day:

It is a disheartening example, a very stark good/evil choice with entirely different locations to go with each. A far cry from the quest design of the original games.

Jörg Langer has posted a full English translation of the E3 interview he conducted for golem.de with Bethesda's Pete Hines.<blockquote>Jörg: Why did you choose to do the game in 3D? Was is just inevitable considering you’ve did Oblivion before that? Pete Hines: Certainly the technology we had...

Or it could be coincidental, "Z/T/J/Ed's Dead" has a nice rhyme to it, and it isn't a very complicated construction. I wouldn't hold it as a reference to anything unless it was specifically confirmed otherwise. The rhyme is simple enough that multiple people could easily arrive at it...

Incest, stay classy man. I have to agree with DDD, Smiling Jack does it for me.

I believe that while being a generally good game, it will fall short of some/many peoples expectations. It appears to me that a number of people hope for too much from BioShock, though the developers have been honest in presenting it. While I am interested, I don't have a X-box 360, and I...

...and Bethesda has plans to kidnap the brightest minds in the Fallout modding community, keep them in the secret dungeons under the Bethesda offices, and force them to develop content for Fallout 3 through torture. Let us keep the baseless paranoia to a minimum, shall we? If I remember...

Silver Rose Studios, an Oblivion modding community, has interviewed Joel Burgess, lead level designer of Fallout 3. While much of the interview is naturally focused on Oblivion, for which Joel was level designer, there are some general questions about him personally and one question on the...

That was the case, yes, but you appear to have missed the news that Bethesda bought the entire Fallout IP.

Yes, it is a PCZone preview, stamped at the bottom of the article. All part of the CVG network, in which everything looks identical.

PC Zone has a posted a short preview of Fallout 3:<blockquote>The game is causing the expected grumbling in the Fallout community, but for my part, I certainly didn't expect so many of the hallmarks of Fallout's gameplay to be returning. The SPECIAL system remains with its perks and traits...

For that matter, why can't the gaming media? We have statements at this early point musing that it might be the best game of the Fallout series, among other accolades; all based on a forty-five minute hands-off demo.

Trying not to reward players who are good at the games you are basing your system around?

Not quite right Brother None, not only was it not fantasy, but Fallout had full facial animations and lip-syncing! Truly why it has held up so strongly as one of the best RPGs for a decade now. I'm glad that icky, stuck-in-the-past attitude doesn't permeate to other bits of Fallout 3's design...

The glaring thing is that spiders don't have antennae. That, in association with the fact that every other media outlet that mentioned a battle against giant bugs referred to them as ants. It should be pretty obvious to anyone if a particular arthropod is an insect or an arachnid. Spiders...

On our forums, Slicerdicer let us know about another Fallout 3 swag auction, this time featuring one of the promotional Vault 101 t-shirts Bethesda was giving away at E3. You can see various Bethesda developers wearing this design in our Fallout 3 gallery. Link: Fallout 3 t-shirt on eBay.

Actually, Darky, I see arguments to the effect that it doesn't fit the setting, as has been defined by the previous games. While you can, inaccurately, sum that up as you just have; it is little more than a clumsy dodge. I think the basic idea can have merit, if handled like Fort Abandon was...

Timmy - Boy of the Future?

"Rabid fans" seems to be the quite a prevalent phrase among Fallout 3 previews. I wonder how it spreads.
