Corinthian Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 About in his sixties. Still, he could be a mutant dog. Super Mutants are supposedly immortal. I mean, not when they're getting Minigunned, but, you know. I can see why they're taking the next step from Oblivion - they didn't work on Fallout. I doubt anyone from the original Fallout team is on their design team. Obsidian is currently working on other sequels to other people's work. Ironic, really. I wonder if Obsidian will make TES V. They'll probably not finish it or you'll die at the very ending of rocks falling... Anyway, it makes sense that they're moving on, gameplay design wise, from an Oblivion base. I just hope they put some real effort into plot this time, and don't have enemies scaling. I want to get myself killed so bad I'm still aching from the beating I recieve hours later.

Lantzen Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Serious, that you need to take up rock falls evryone dies in your evry post start to become tiring, maybe you should use it as a signature if you want to whinne about it at evry chance you get ? The enemy wont level with you, that was one of the first info they released way back. And i love that, some areas you are meant to die a gruseome death if you go there to early. And the bandits with the glass armours and stuff in Oblivion was just ridicouls, with that amount of money they could live a happy life not being a bandit Yes' date=' I'll help you'/'Yes, I'll help you for three pounds fifty and a cheeseburger'/'I WILL KILL YOU AND TAKE YOUR STUFF' conversation options with which most modern RPGs satisfy themselves"[/quote'] I wonder what RPG games he have played Just Oblivion ? Because most RPG games i played the last years have some more dialougs choises then that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinthian Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Sorry, I just played NWN2 again - bored. EXTREMELY bored, and my copy of MOTB won't be here for another day at least. I cheated the whole way through, 50 to every stat and IT STILL TOOK FOREVER TO KILL THE BLOODY KING OF SHADOWS. Then, after that, to see that 'Nobody ever finds your squished bodies' thing frankly sticks in my craw. Combine that with the fairly rampant Obsidian Fanboys on this forum and I want to puke. Have to get the bile out some way or it'll burn it's way up and out, so I complain. And, hey, in some games (TSL) you don't even get those options, it's "I'll give you five credits which will sign your death warrant because of the Feral Beggar Tribes down in Nar Shaddaa" or "I won't give you credits, causing you to go cry and then go berserk when someone attempts to console you and you tear his throat out and dine upon his corpse.

Do you have to complain about Obsidian games in every single thread? Nobody really cares, mate. If you don't like their games, just don't play them. It's that easy. Also, if someone likes Obsidian games, it doesn't automatically make him/her a fanboy. Obviously people will be pissed off if you make them look like idiots because they like OE games.

Pavlos Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Source und this The first Fallout 3 hands-on preview has been released in a Polish magazine, PSX Extreme, as well as PSM3 so pop out and buy either of them if you're a fan of the series or just have a masochistic desire to see more of your childhood raped and then cut up into little pieces with a rusty hatchet. Bethesda seems to have a penchant for whimsical names; 'Bigtown' and 'Germantown' will stalk me in nightmares for decades to come. Whatever happened to the 'Café of Broken Dreams', eh? The role of Charisma is lower than in previous games, Fallout 3 relies on combat much more than FO1 and FO2. However, we'll be able to use stealth throughout most of the game. It's nice to know that stealth is often (if not always) an option but the reliance on combat over charisma seems to betray what Fallout excelled at and, to my knowledge, pioneered: dialogue options that are conditional on having points in a certain skill. If you remove that then the only thing that makes this game Fallout 3 is the impossibly devoted fan-base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavlos Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Source Both Kotaku and Joystiq are reporting that Fallout 3 has been refused classification down under. This means that under Australian law it will be illegal for anyone to sell, buy, import, play or even look at the manual of Fallout 3. Presumably some one in the censor's office made a topless mod for Brotherhood of Steel members... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavlos Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Source Perhaps in fear of being overshadowed by Dragon Age: Origins, Bethesda has decided to release a teaser trailer of their own to show off Fallout 3's graphics. I get a wonderful sense of when watching this but I'd imagine that's intentional on Bethesda's part. The surreal image of a skeleton watching the television notwithstanding (I'm going to pretend that it's a humorous comment on the American attachment to the television, you can delude yourself too if you like), the game looks... astounding. Nice choice of music, as well, given that the place is entirely deserted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltiades Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yup, haven't seen any dialog. Doesn't bode well for that aspect of the game. I think this is a game I won't view the reviews of, because you know they'll be enthusiastic and full of praise about it, like they were about Oblivion (which I didn't find that good at all).

Quanon Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Fallout 3 = Oblivion with guns. [/url] A First Person Shooter with stats and expirience gathering. I'm not sure what to think about it, it does look nice and I think it could be a fun game. I did enjoy Morrowind and its expansions plus dozens of mods. The exploring of the world and some fun missions somehow sucked me in. Though storywize... uh... story or plot... lets hope they haven't forgot about that.

Lantzen Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I actualy wonder wtf are Enclave doing there in the gameplay video Didn't you like blow there mainbase up in the end of Fallout2 ? Lazzy Betheseda that they can't find a new faction that is the threat and need to reuse the old enemys. First it was that mutants aint friendly anymore like in Fallout2 and now the Enclave.

Arátoeldar Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I guess my worst fears about the combat have been confirmed by the Sept PC Gamer preview. I'm sure a lot of you have already read it, but I just skimmed through PC Gamer's preview of you guessed it--the PC version. They had nothing but good things to say about it. They did reiterate what some of you guys have already said about how it pretty much functions as a FPS regardless of the incorporate of VATS. Sounds like this is one I'll be picking up after all.

patient_zero Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I'll admit I'm a little afraid of reading too much about Fallout 3 - all I know of the first two are the dazzling recommendations it's given by half the forum, and I'm definitely not an Oblivion fan. But I did pre-order Fallout 3 while on an "it's free so why not?" pre-order spree a couple of weeks ago. And after watching the trailer and flicking through the gallery, I like the art style, though I'm hoping the game play will be more Mass Effect than Oblivion With Guns. Though I guess Fallout 3 has a problem - it's the sequel to a highly acclaimed series, and though it may be adequate on it's own, it might not live up to the first two, in the same way I frown at KotOR 2 not for being bad but for having a different "feel" than KotOR 1.

Pavlos Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 The issue is not that Fallout 3 has a different 'feel', to be honest. It's more that Bethesda have thrown away an awful lot of the gameplay mechanics that made the game what it was. I don't know... maybe it's a bit of nostalgia on my part (although I played Fallout 2 again recently and still rank it as one of the best games of all time) but I just can't accept Bethesda's child into the Fallout family. It may say, "Fallout," on the box but it won't be Fallout . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patient_zero Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I think I can understand that sentiment. Hell, I pretend most of the Spyro series doesn't exist because I don't like what happened to it after it changed developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arátoeldar Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Enough with the Bioshock hoohaa cause we got a megaton. Bethesda held a demo in Taiwan and apparently our friends to the east are a little less respectful of the whole "no recording devices please" thing. Tons and tons of spoilery shots.

Pavlos Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Source IGN has played through the first six hours of Fallout 3 and written up their thoughts in this handy, pocket-sized preview, yours for only two shillings and sixpence. Can't say fairer than that. Please be aware that the video included in this preview contains a fair amount of violence and doesn't seem to be age locked. As my six hours with Fallout 3 came to a close, I brought up the map to see how much ground I had covered. It turned out that I didn't see anything from the entire northern half. Even with limiting my travels to the southern region, there were still large areas I hadn't yet had a chance to explore. This game is huge and the satisfaction you get from exploring is just as big. It's been over a week since I played and I still can't shake the desire to go back and look around some more. October 28 can't come soon enough.

Corinthian Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 That should hopefully silence some of the too-loud whining of the general public. Not that the Fallout 3 forums will ever be anything more than an endless horde of bats, screaming as they circle a pillar of pure obsidian.
