Odin at <a href="http://www.nma-fallout.com" target="blank">No Mutants Allowed</a> has posted an <a href="http://www.nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=3682" target="blank">unofficial FAQ</a> of Silver Style's post-apocalyptic themed spacebar-and-click RPG, <a href="http://www.the-fall.com/" target="blank">The Fall</a>. Here's a snippet from the game that hopes to fill the void left by the wake of Van Buren's (ahem: Fallout 3) cancellation:
<br>
<blockquote><b>Question: Is TF linear or non-linear?</b>
<br>
Answer: TF is a completely non-linear game. Carsten has repeatedly stated that the game will have a completely non-linear storyline, meaning that the player can explore the world in any way he or she chooses. Carsten has also stated that their will be a map that allows for a player to move to any location he chooses(much like the map in FO). There will be many subquests that the player may or may not do, many NPC's to interact with...everything that you have come to expect of a CRPG.</blockquote>
<br>
I have come to expect turn-based gameplay from a <b>good</b> CRPG, something which Silver Style's The Fall may not turn out to be. As with all new RPGs that don't tick us off in ways that tick us off (e.g. being console-ported would tick us off), we can only hope that it turns out to be good.

I don't think that juxtapositions with the <a href="http://www.interplay.com/fallout/" target="blank">Fallout series</a> should be made in such a prostituting manner, however. That's just not a good way to win me over.

Its clearly not winning that many people over

Whoa, I originally thought The Fall was a Strategy Game. Learn something new every day, I guess.

I am so happy that the good folks in Silver Style do not use the death of Fallout 3 to promote their own game the Fall.

Bravo to them . They are developers with integrity.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

I would have done the same thing if I were Silver Style. I can't fault them from siezing the moment.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Gotta get recognition somehow.

I like Silver Style. I could give a fuck less what anyone else says. I am looking forward to this game and I hope it kicks ass. Soldiers Of Anarchy may have not been the most polished game out of the gate, but it was still FUN. I think they're gonna shock alot of people with this new title and I'm gonna cheer them on for it.

The shallowness of the NPC population may turn me off though, I recall reading that they were having a NPC development contest on a forum, which made me go, "bleh."

 

[Sol Invictus]

Well that's not so bad. Fallout 2 had an NPC development contest and I think the NPCs (with the exception of Horrigan) turned out okay.
