    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    Blue Nuka-Cola notwithstanding, Emil Pagiarulo has always seemed to be articulate and intelligent in the interviews and such that I've seen him in. The man also worked on Thief, and I challenge you to find another divergent-history world in gaming that was more mature than that (other than, of...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    What you and I might consider "saturated" could easily be mistaken for a still-thriving trend by someone who doesn't actually know better. It's not as though he was trying to sabotage his company. Maybe more market research could have been done and that might have yielded what was already plain...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    Of course it doesn't make him right, but a little niggling voice in the back of my mind keeps saying, "that's only because BoS didn't sell." I have to agree with that voice because he's a businessman, not a designer or project manager. His responsibility is not to the fans of his company's...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    I appreciate your saying this. Hm. Well, if anyone does have any links, I'd greatly appreciate the sating of my curiosity. Actually, after reading over some things I hadn't in quite some time, I have my facts wrong. So, apologies all around for that. That said, what I now know actually...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    Now you're confusing me. You actually do want to play this game? Or do you think it will be not be horrible, but also not Fallout? No denying that there are limitations, and I'm often more than a bit impressed when a developer makes a control scheme that would have necessitated twice as many...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    It may have been said a hundred times already, and I hate to contribute to such a broken record, but I get the impression that much of the outcry is because the fanbase is too close to the original material. That's a poor sentence and I'll try to clarify. I think it's fair to say that everyone...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    So, it can't be a good game if it doesn't cater to you specifically? The more I read about this issue, two things become abundantly clear. The first is that Bethesda isn't really interested in catering to the fanbase of Fallout with this game. They figure that they either already have your...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    Again, you're missing my point. First off, your first mistake is to have an expectation at all, which is simply begging to be disappointed. And you're boiling what I said down into something that I did not say so that you can try to insult me. To use your Tom Clancy analogy, if you don't like...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    No, that's not even close to what I said. I suggested that you could use the tools available to you to modify Fallout 2 to make a game you wanted to play. I'm sure I'll buy Fallout 3 at some point. I'm in no way going to suggest that you do the same until I've had a chance to play it...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    Not quite what I was trying to convey, but I can certainly see how it would be interpreted as such. I'd like to convey a sincere apology to anyone who might have been offended. Sorry. I don't think you should all be working on a Fallout mod. I think that there's the opportunity for a great...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    I'm not trolling, I assure you. This is something that I've been honestly wondering about. Of course it's not "just" that easy. Yes, it's more complicated than the simple statement above. That doesn't mean the people here aren't capable of pulling it off and to say otherwise should be...

    Now, now. Hear me out on this one. I wasn't being accusatory about this. They are not exclusives. Feel free to bitch about Fallout 3 all you want to, it's your privilege. I was merely positing that, what appears to me to be, verbal masturbation (feels good at the time, very little to show for...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    So, do you think conversations such as this might change the production path that the game is on? Or would this time be better spent modding Fallout 2 into the sequel you'd actually like to see?

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    I love games. There's a period on the end of that sentence because that's as far as the sentence goes. PnP RPGs, card games, board games, video games of all shapes, colors and settings. I love Fallout more than most games and it's the only game I've played on my PC for the last ten years. I run...
