Fallout3 - Feargus Urquhart

[Guest]

A while ago in late december of 99 i had finished fallout1 and 2 for what seemed to be the 100th time. I was bored outta my mind and wanted more... MORREE!!! so I decided to give Feargus Urquhart an email, much to my suprise he actually replied! and even better it was within the period of ONE week. props to Black Isle for not being so lame *cough*Westwood*cough*. The email was about fallout3 and a roug guestimate of when they would have it out. Back then i knew very little of fallout3 and its future so it was a dumb question. but this is what he said :

"We aren't working on Fallout 3 right now, but that doesn't mean that we have
abandoned the series. All the internal teams at Black Isle are working on other
games right now. We might have some news towards the middle of the year.

Feargus Urquhart
Division Director
Black Isle Studios

Im glad he doesnt need pr guys to cover the questions or else we would never get straight answers. umm 12/2 = 6 ... umm *thinks for a minute* June? thats not too far off from now, lets hope we get somenews.

BTW i didnt know Chris Taylor made RPG games, heh he also made TA.

Well the first part of the email isn't really news (since Feargus has said many times that they didn't abandon the series), but the second part gives us some hope doesn't it? It also coincides with the news about Black Isle licensing the LithTech engine and the conversation on the IceWind Dale board about a possible combat system for a "non-fantasy RPG".
