I think you need to realize that the old days of Fallout 1+2
are gone, and they will probably never come back.
I can understand why Bethesda bought the Fallout license.
However, I can't understand why Bethesda insists that
they are making Fallout 3.
Personally, I would (if I were Bethesda) say that *yes, we
making a fallout game our way* and also inform people
that this fallout game is NOT a sequel to the original
Fallout games.
As for SPECIAL being implemented (or used) in the game,
the SPECIAL system is a stat/abilities system which can be implemented in any game, either in a first person perspective game or a third person isometric game.
I can understand why people long for the days of
Fallout 1+2, but I do think that you need to realize
that of course Bethesda is going to take advantage of
the technological processes which has been made
in the last 10 years.
If you look back at the history of Bethesda,
then even Arena and Daggerfall were to be
played from the first person perspective.
I fail to see why Fallout (3) should be any different
when it comes to this.
Personally, I would reserve judgment on Bethesda's Fallout,
as well as I would like to see the quests, dialoques and character interaction in this game, before I judge this game.

Even though I think first (or third) person RPGs are quite annoying, the perspective is probably the last thing I'm worried about when it comes to a bethesdified Fallout. Oblivion (and to a smaller extent Morrowind) for example would have sucked just as much if it had been an isometric game. Well, maybe the combat would have been a bit better.

sadly the strap on the wii controller is prone to breaking. think of the smashed tvs and holes in plaster walls when someone tries to wii-bang a hooker on buffout!
There should be a special Codex section for some games, which includes a compilation of all the pre-release predictions, down to how specific features will turn out, some blind and naive fanboy attack and defences similar to Briosafreak's, dev quotes and finally the final product, with comparisons. All in an easy-to-digest format for future generations.

NMA started one (the Fallout 3 FAQ) with the relevant quotes, but we kind of gave up after "we can't talk about it, but trust us" #100

Ask NMAers or DACers what they think about all Fallout games other than FO1-2.
Except Fallout 2 is a pretty shitty product.
And that Fallout: Tactics is a pretty decent product.
Problem is that these retards can't distinguish between an RPG and a strategy game. Other problem is that they loved the Fallout 1 setting (rightly) and like children want the same 'experience' over and over again.
Not much better than ESFers.

*maybe*; but I'm wondering were the fuck will they put "action points" or "sequence" in a RT FPS...
Because Bethsoft has a long tradition in INNOVASHUN and shit and know well how to take advantage in new technologies...
*rolleyes*

Wow, really? Next, you might even tell us that Lincoln is no longer President of the US.
I am so glad that you are around to solve these amazing mysteries for us.
As for fallout fans being rabid... of course some are. Its in the nature of fandom. Every group has the fanatics that rail against the slightest deviation from the formula. And sites like this and those others have a higher percentage of the angry ones.

You got me wrong. They call us rabid because we take no shit. See Roshambo for more information.
Not that I'm an NMA poster myself, but most of these guys CAN distinguish an RPG from a (pseudo-)strategy game, and those that can't ain't worth listening to in the first place.
I liked F2 very much the first time I played through it, but I began to find its flaws more and more annoying with time. I still consider it a very good game, though.
Tactics was actually quite fun to play, but its replayability is poor - for me, F:T is a "finish and forget" game, and not a very good strategy game really. Too easy, too simple, too many things I think could've been done better. It's still quite far from being a total failure, IMO.
FOPOS, on the other hand, is a fucking disgrace, and F3 is closely following Oblivion's footsteps, so there's plenty of shit to whine and bitch about.

If I recall correctly Fallout had location based damage, Bethesda can't even manage that in 2006. They've got the immoveable scenery down pat though.
Wonder if they'll have dynamic shadows? probably not since the 360 still won't be able to handle it, which kind'a makes me laugh as it was designed around the graphic subsystem (or something). I'm just praying Beth have learnt it's okay to create different interfaces for PC and 360.
Skills, I'm willing to bet, will be the same as Oblivion, increase thru' use, and probably the same amount, but they'll probably change the persuasion system - unless they're incredibly stupid, I think even the preteens were disgusted with that - I'd love to know who okayed that design decision.
I pray to the gods they get a larger pool of voice actors and optimise the engine some, tho' without Speedtree that'll help a lot (unless it's set 1000 years after the war and magic/nature has made a return).
Fallout, for me, is riding around on a horse killing mutants.

Did they try to do that? Did they want to? It doesn't seem particularly relevant unless they tried to do it and failed.
You should show concern for the important things that Bethesda has trouble with. Skills, dialogues, weapon proficiencies, challenge. Quest and level design. You know, the niggling little things.

Fuckin' moron. I cna't believe you were interested in my fictional module with that kind of opinion.
If you cna't like FO2; you cna't like anything (not) made by me. :D
You mean the rape mod?

I was exaggerating a bit, Fallout 2 isn't a bad game, it's above average but it was a step back from Fallout 1.
