Alright, now that the project reached its stated goal, I can now return to being a flippant and pessimistic skeptic..not enough to merit a thread entirely on its own, but I've chanced on some contrarian perspective on the whole endeavor, which some of your might already considered yourselves, being erudite adherents to reasonable doubts, amidst all the excitement.

I am not trying to shit on the parade or even cast unfounded aspersions on what could otherwise be a start of something quality, but do you guys really trust Fargo and co. to achieve the now stratospheric expectations? I already donated to the cause and all, so not just attempt to troll, but I suddenly remembered Tim Cain in his GDC address describing literally begging Fargo and Interplay powers that be not to cancel Fallout in the first place, and left the company altogether not long after...call me a doubting killjoy, and indeed fan involvement and contributions of idea could turn this into what is deserving of the namesake, but this is some huge vote of confidence there for what doesn't amount to much in terms of track record, or what there is, of glories some thirty years ago.
