Interview Matt Chat 90: Brian Fargo on Wasteland & Fallout

[bhlaab]

He actually said that there's no reason why there shouldn't be turn-based combat and party-creation in modern cRPGs.

The way he says it makes it sound like Wasteland 2 might go that way

Damn Fargo looks young, I thought he was going to be in his mid 60s or something...

The quote on the game journalist rolling his eyes is gold, and very revealing about the current state of our industry.

Yeah he was really young when he started Interplay. 21 years old.

I like that Matt actually asks Fargo questions like (paraphrasing obviously) "Lots of people think Fallout 3 sucks. What do you think of it?"

"Lots of licensed games suck. Do you like making licensed games or new IP?"

"You said in an earlier interview that noone wants 80s games. I like 80s games. Why don't you make 80s games?"

"It's not like the RTwP combat in DAO had any depth"

More depth than POR, and FO combined.

Now, now... We all know that you love this Bioware fanboy facade, and it's fun to read that in the midle of such butthurt, but you need a bit of caution to not exaggerate and become to obvious.

Yeah, I like that too.

Just like Tim Cain, Fargo at the beginning looked a bit restrained but at the end you could see the rage flowing through him.

Well then next time drop it in the news tip box. It's obnoxious to post "hurf hurf I posted this already" in a newsthread and because of that, you're a cockgobbling douchetruck.

I'm just saying.

I am complaining that people are being obnoxious. When people say that I am also being obnoxious, I counter that by being even more obnoxious.
