I really think more thanks should be directed towards Chris Avellone. This was his pet project if I remember correctly from my days back on the old Black Isle Studios' message boards. Best Fallout related news in a long, long time.

EDIT: Nevermind, guess it was JE's idea from the start.

Yeah, JE Sawyer actually came to #fallout many, many moons ago and pitched the idea of getting us those editors.

"Those damn Fallout fans wont quit bitching about BoS, we have to distract them somehow..."

Oh well I got it, now to crash my computer a few hundred times, get frustrated, and go back to playing Spider Solitare

I've heard it's rather crashy, especially on the newer operating systems like XP.

This may be my wild opinion here, but I think JE is a hardcore FO fan at heart. I think he is the only one left at BIS that gives a rat's ass about the franchise.

I'd be interested to see a design doc for a Fallout CRPG from JE Sawyer, just to see what his idea of the setting is and what he'd do with it. I think the idea of an alternative future based on 1950s sci-fi about an aftermath of a holocostic war based on World War 2 would appeal to him, since he seems to like history.
