The place has some novelty value for a day or so, and being an elitist-troll, rpg-rebel or fallout-mole wears out pretty quickly, especially since the moderation employs tacky faschist regulations to keep the invaders at bay. I made a thread, probably a month ago, suggesting to mod necrophilia into the game as a serious feature -- well written, polite and not overly graphic in descriptions. It lasted exactly 4 minutes. The reason for the deletion of the thread, and the added 25% to my warning level, was ( and I quote ) "ew." -- how fantastically professional.

Ever since I got Oblivion, I couldn't shake the feeling of having played something very similar before. Unlike other occassions, it didn't feel "been there, done that," It felt familiar, yet refreshing. Today, as I installed Fallout 2, I decided to read the manual for some strange reason, and then it hit me: Oblivion, at its very core, was just like Fallout!

Game over man! I...I'm checking out. Honey, I love you.

If that's not a joke thread, I fear :shock:

well, hopefully it will be like in the original game, where if you screwed up too much and killed too many people, you wouldn't be able to finish many of the quests, thus losing the reward and experience

Yeah, that's the real beauty of Fallout, screwing up quests by killing people. Although I can see why that would be a unique experience, given that quest NPCs were invincible in Oblivion.

You just can't beat IGN when it comes to harvesting pure stupid...

Joe Cracker and The Light of Courage.

Basically a deluded and probably brain-damaged person from South Carolina unleashes the worst Zelda fan-fiction in history (it's based on the old DIC Zelda cartoon with some Tingle thrown in for some reason) on an unsuspecting internet. People repeatedly scam him to hilarious results but he never quite understands what's going on despite having the scammers explain what they did to him repeatedly. The whole thing goes on for years and is worth reading through just to see the insane test animations his "production studio" puked out.

Whether or not you consider rootkits to be malware, unnecessary security checks on the side of developers at the cost of endangering your system or just a harmless entities, Oblivion plugins apparently have rootkits, installed when you install the plugin and stay there permanently without a practical or 'user-friendly' way of removal (ie. uninstaller).

don't worry about the perspective. I'm sure Beth will do the same they did with oblivion. I just hope that they make the 3rd person view a bit more intuitive

GOD FORBID BETHSOFT DO FALLOUT 3 IN ISOMETRIC AND SHIT! IT'D BE LIKE A CRIME OF SOME SORT! OH HOLD ME, I'M SO SCARED IT WON'T BE FP/3P AS IT SHOULD!

whichever perspective they go with, I am going to be getting the game regardless - Fallout rules

WHEN I CAME BACK INTO THE EMPTY OFFICE THERE WAS NO SIGN OF MY BRAINS ANYWHERE, ONLY A NOTE ON THE TABLE.

"DEAR JOSH, YOU'RE A GREAT GUY AND ALL BUT THIS RELATIONSHIP REALLY ISN'T WORKING OUT. LYNDA"

What would be the big deal about switching to first-person? Let's face it... even for it's time fallout 2 (haven't played number one) had sucky combat.

THIS I KNOW, BECAUSE MY PARENTS TOLD ME, SEEING AS "IT'S TIME" WAS A TIME OF HAPPYNESS AND HIGH IQ'S -- MEANING I WASN'T BORN YET.

First of all I think you are overestimating the fallout fanbase, most of the fans or people who played it don't remember the chooices or the non-linear storyline, but rather remember the drugs, sex and mature setting. And has some of the posts in this thread suggest, the atmosphere of Fallout is more aplauded then the roleplaying abilities it had.

THEY PAY ME BUSFARE MONEY TO BE THEIR OFFICIAL SPOKESPERSON! THEY CONTACTED ME OVER THE INTER NET, AND I WAS LIKE "SURE I'M A DUMB FUCK, WHY NOT?". NEXT DAY JEHOVAS WITNESSES CAME TO MY DOOR, AND I JOINED THEIR CULT BECAUSE -- WELL, WHY NOT? I HOPE IT WON'T UPSET THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, OR THE MORMONS I JOINED LAST WEEK.

If people are so convinced that a FPS version of Fallout must suck catballs imagine Deus Ex.

WHAT A FUCKING LOAD OF MY MIND! NOW I CAN FINALLY GO TO SLEEP, POSSIBLY IN A PILE OF MY OWN EXCREMENT.

hope not to be FPS like CS, DOOM, Fear - instead to have more of the originall RPG Fallout feel with the OB graphics

THE TWO DOMINANT VOICES IN MY HEAD ARE FIGHTING FOR CONTROL! GOD, GIVE ME THE STRENGHT TO MAKE THE RIGHT CALL -- THAT IS, SHOOTING MYSELF IN THE EYE WITH AN ASSAULT RIFLE.

I wouldn't panic too quickly...

:RELAX:

Though the chances of it being turn-based are next to none.

OHGODOHGODOHGOD REALIZATION!

The level of complacency in that thread is... well, frankly, jaw-dropping. It's exactly fucktards like those that corporations rely on to make shit like this acceptable.

It burns and makes me laugh at the same time.

I usually don't contribute to these threads, but this one at the Bear's Pit Forums is too good to pass up.
How do people assume games are screwed just because someone new is making them? Oh, sorry, the same old people aren't working on every tiny detail of the game, so that obviously means that it's going to be garbage. Of course, how silly of me.

Bethesda is a good company and they make good games. I find that the people that tend to oppose particular companies for whatever arbitrary reason they may have tend to have ridiculously specific tastes, and if some tiny little indeterminate detail isn't spot on, it's the apocalypse all over again. Morrowind was a fantastic game, and Oblivion is just as good and has greater potential. True, there's a bunch of people that disagree with the way things are done, but that's their problem simply because they disagree. There's no honour bound guarantee that a company has to make something to fulfill some kind of obligation to consumers, and some people just don't get it, like the complaints over the UI. 'Oh my god it's so huge!' is the biggest complaint from the early days of it's release. I have no idea what people have against it, or why they even care, except the fact that they're die hard PC gamers and they feel the need to complain about something that obviously wasn't designed specifically for PC.

The complaints continue with all sorts of pointless arguments over nearly every point of the game, and this seems to be a running trend in people. Series exclusive fans, in my opinion, shouldn't have their opinions taken seriously by anyone on the basis that these people are heavily biased towards their own preferences and choices, and if something opposes that they can get bent out of shape faster than a 24 karat gold baseball bat. It's these same types of people that complain about things like different companies making games in a series. I've only briefly played Fallout 2 (which I felt to be very slow and awkward to control), though I can already see that a game of this nature by Bethesda would definately be a winner, and regardless I'd buy it.

People need to stop nay-saying each and every change of hands that takes place unless they themselves can do a better job. You have no right to complain about something outside of your power to change through inaction or inability, so until you manage to assume a position of power in either game development or production, kindly refrain from commenting on other people's business descisions. I'm sure you should be lucky that these games even survive the closing of their company, let alone get the opportunity to be made again. If I remember correctly, Microsoft has the licensing rights to Shadowrun games, or at least did. I would love to see another Shadowrun game in a similar style to the Sega incarnation, but it's probably not going to happen.

How poetic. Seriously, what? God forbid we have preferences and actively lobby for those preferences to be satisfied. We should be lapping Gamespy's mind-corroding kool aid like all the other hardk0re gamerz who cried when Aries died.

Was that from Michael Kirkbride's post Lumpy linked to? Because he edited it out.

Going by that assumption, I think he has a right to be bitter. He and Ted Peterson together basically built the world of Tamriel, and from the looks of it, Neo-Bethesda shat upon it. I know there was an issue between Kirkbride and Sinder Velvin of The Imperial Library about some statements made by another former developer, but I still think he has as much-- if not more-- right to be pissed about how the series ended up as other fans.

The cool thing, though, is he's offered to help a mod team redo the Imperial City to match what he wrote about it in the original Pocket Guide to the Empire. That should be interesting.

check out what the little monsters who love oblivion list as their favourites - its consistently halo and other gibbering moron fodder...

I am the same, I enjoy Halo and Oblivion but not sure I will put these games in my five best.

It's from Bear's Pit.

Huh?

Anyone got MK's post somewhere then?
Most likely no, he edited it before anyone quoted it.
