Todd Howard is a genius!

[Vault Dweller]

That's what 360 magazine claims.

Bethsoft is lead by someone that “those that worked for him openly refer to him as a genius”, named Todd Howard, and they do take Fallout 1 as their standard for cannon. While they take into account Fallout 2, and even a little of Fallout Tactics and Fallout: BOS, they always go back to the original for inspiration.

It's hard to imagine a more faithful sequel. Clearly a work of a genius.

Morrowind was is pretty artistic and inspirational, though I have no idea how much of it did the Toddler contribute to.

On a side note, there are 3 new screens of FO 3 out. All of them show combat only *again*. Judging by the screens FO 3 looks like your common FPS and I'm not even joking.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

...and I'm not even joking.

No need to.

 

[NiM82]

To be fair he must be pretty clever. He knows fuck all about game design yet has weaseled his way to running the studio. He's a role model for talentless hacks everywhere - the folk at Bethesda are clearly following in his footsteps, sucking a lot of cock.

 

[Black]

I bet they wanted to say something intelligent but they were just too busy chocking on bethesda's cocks.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Taking anything from Fallout Enforcer is bound to be bad. I doubt there was anything remotely good about that game.

 

[Vault Dweller]

A game with exploding suicide ghouls has gotta be good.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

FO3 will a one big "Virtual Pet" Simulator with Dogmeat as the Tamagotchi... + gunz of course.

Will there be exploding ghouls in F3? seriously? wtf...

 

[Vault Dweller]

I was talking about FOBOS. Bethesda did mention that there are several variations of ghouls and so far we've only seen the feral ones, aka the zombies.

I can't believe you guys didn't know Todd Howard is a genius, yet

I mean...duh.

 

[Kingston]

He's a huge fallout fan too.

 

[serch]

Change the horrible tautology that is this topic title.

 

[Brother None]

plz to also add subsite called RPGToddex.

2 philosophies:
- Todd Howard = genius
- RPG = riding around on a horse killing things

Is this how all the previews of the game going to be like? I mean isn't it weird that of all games, this one is going to need websites and magazines to bad-mouth fans and discredit criticism before the game is out? Also if you look at the reaction to shadowrun (2007) it was pretty much the same from fans but they never got attacked in magazines, fanboy-journalism at it's finest I guess.

 

[SmokedWolf]

Areas, factions, some characters (they speculate Marcus might show up on another game one day) and a detailed timeline are a real treat for hardcore fans,

Has this guy met a Fallout Fan?

 

[HanoverF]

To be fair, I'm sure his business card says Super Genius

Sure. TES forums are full of Fallout fans. Like playcirus or blackfox.

Well, he IS the creator of second coming of Christ so...

Funny thing is when they go "but who cares what they say" (like D-Toid)

If you don't care, why do you keep talking about us?

I just look at it as free advertising. Sure, we're not going to win any hearts and minds as long as the slander campaign is in full gear, but we're probably the most mentioned commentators on Fallout 3 of any single group. In almost every Fallout 3 preview or Fallout 3 thread on TTLG or Something Awful or QTT, NMA or the Fallout community comes up. You can't talk about Fallout 3 without mentioning the incessant and continuing criticism leveled at the game..

And that's a good thing.

Sure. TES forums are full of Fallout fans. Like playcirus or blackfox.

The fuck? playcircus still isn't banned? Talk about a man who lives for trolling.

That's BGSF moderating for you. They suck.

Everyone's a genius when you're a moron.

So, they're just saying that most of the weapons in FO3 will be inspired by the original Fallout?

You have to read closely to really understand PR speak.

 

[Squeek]

At long last Todd is getting the credit he deserves. Maybe now we'll all be able to set aside our petty jealousies and concentrate our efforts on rightfully singing his praises.

Todd, if you're reading this, let me be the first to offer my heartfelt congratulations. You're an inspiration to the rest of us.

"Yeah. Why's he like talk like a gay though?"

Yes Todd, you're wasting your talents at beth. Think what you could be on your own! [/devil]

Being unbelievably stupid is not a sin for tes moderators.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

And TESF moderators are unbelievable stupid.
