Game News Bethesda opens Fallout 3 forums

[Edward_R_Murrow]

Oblivion's combat is fast and furious, and rewards you for pausing out to inventory to use potions, scrolls, other equipment, other spells, etc strategically.

Would these MOTHERFUCKERS stop already with the "tactics" and "strategy" of Oblivion!

I always thought that pausing the game to epen the inventory and drink a fuckload of potions during fitghts was a lame exploit, but no good sirs, ITS TEH STRATEGIK

What I like about that is how you can only drink about 8 potions at a time though. That is, before you have to close your inventory and then re-open it again half a second later. OH NOEZ! TEH LIMITASHUNS MAEK IT STRATEGIK.

Figures that an Armchair Strategist like yourself would think its that easy. Sure, it's all fun and games when you're stomping on mudcrabs. But what if you're surrounded by five...count them, FIVE, Goblins rushing towards you? You try swinging your sword, but your auto-aim ain't working. You start to panic. You can only use a combination of eight healing and fatigue potions. What's a matter? Not so easy now, is it?

Pop quiz hotshot. What do you do?

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO?

Easy. Press Y to enter EXTREME mode and dish out some serious collar-grabbing fury upon those goblins.

Daggerfall was awesome, but some things bothered me, Morrowind fixed most of them
Morrowind was awesome, but smaller. Some things bugged me, Oblivion fixed most of them
Oblivion was awesome but smaller. Some things bugged me, Shivering Isles fixed those.

...
Shivering Isles was awsome but smaller. Some things bugged me, Fallout 3 will fix them?
*shudders*

Is summer trying very hard to be accommodating or does she have a clue ?

 

[Bradylama]

What game could Fallout 3 resemble and you would still buy it?

Total Votes: 24

Fallout 1 & 2 [ 22 ] [37.29%]

OH SNAP

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Summer isn't a ditz like nearly every other forum member. You'd probably disagree with her on some or other matter but she seems pretty level-headed.

I couldn't decide between laughing or crying when I saw that poll. "Hey guys, should Fallout resembles its predecessors or should it try to emulate games its got nothing to do with?" The S-M-R-T-ness, it boggles the mind and goggles the blind.

Zelda? Fuck's sake.

 

[Fez]

How can there be 40 total votes now if Fallout 1 & 2 have 38 and Bloodlines has 13? Never mind all the other votes. Strange.

 

[taxacaria]

@seboss
from that thread -

Oblivion is more of an RPG than:

The Wizardry series
Might and Magic series
The Bard's Tale
Dragon Wars
Phantasie
The Dark Heart of Uukrul
The Gold Box D&D games
Eye of the Beholder
Betrayal at Krondor
Realms of Arkania
Wizards & Warriors
to name a few...

And I'm a Fallout person, not a TES person.

I'd say he's a dumbfuck person.

It's a checkbox poll, not a standard radiobutton one. Also the percentages are calculated from the total number of votes, not voters.

EDIT: In other words, "Total votes" in this case means the total number of voters, each of whom selected one or more options in the poll.

 

[Bradylama]

So, in total, the vast majority of people participating in the poll would be fine with a Fallout 3 like its predecessors compared to any other game design.

 

[United Nations]

What the fuck is up with all the dumbass polls? My favorite so far:

Would you want a persuasion mini game like in Oblivion?

a. Yes, I loved it
b. Totally
c. Without a doubt
d. Yes, and I want minigames for other areas too

FALLOUT 3: WAR FINALLY CHANGES THIS SUMMER.

Random drek from deep within the void himself.

Oblivion is more of an RPG than:

The Wizardry series

They besmirched the name of Wizardry, someone is going to die.

I promise you that Zenmaster is going to die. In fact every ESF-poster is going to die. Every codexer too.
OMFG, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!1111oneoneeleven11!!

OMFG, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!1111oneoneeleven11!!

For the zionist plot to be successful, that is the sacrifice we will all make.

There's something I gotta get off my chest:

I find this deeply disturbing. Do I really need to be told, in such an urgent manner? When I first tried to log in and saw that big red warning box, I expected an error and not the trivial information that I need to be registered to log in.
Is that standard now, or is that a sign of what Bethesda thinks of their target audience?

Daggerfall was awesome, but some things bothered me, Morrowind fixed most of them

So Bethout will play in a city after all.

So, in total, the vast majority of people participating in the poll would be fine with a Fallout 3 like its predecessors compared to any other game design.

In fact, the poll suggests that people would prefer it over the alternatives. Go figure.

FALLOUT 3: WAR FINALLY CHANGES THIS SUMMER.

Great idea. You should submit that as application for a job in their marketing department.

This thread has exceeded 200 posts and must therefore be closed.

Wait....what?

 

[Drakron]

Its a policy that comes when large treads screw up the search function ... many forums have it but I am unsure if its just something from the old days when software was affected by it or its still a limitation.

Probably just typical Bethesda shirking.

At least we know why the include compasses, the people who play their games don't even know that to log in, you need an actual account to log into.

Feeling good now?

 

[Bradylama]

So it didn't take long for somebody to fuck up.

Open Letter

 

[Amasius]

I'm glad you saved the thread, good work. Man, what a jackass.

 

[Seboss]

Hehe, a mod deleting a thread to save himself from embarrassment. That's rich.

 

[Cimmerian Nights]

That's chickenshit.

 

[MountainWest]

CCNA is the same mod who altered the "which developer do you want to develop Fallout 3"-poll and made Bethesda #2....
