Official Fallout 3 Catch-All
Friday, April 25th, 2008 - 8:56pm
This is the thread to discuss Fallout 3. This is NOT the thread to talk about how Bethesda's Fallout 3 is an abomination that shouldn't be made. The time for that particular discussion is over and any attempt to resurrect it will be dealt with faster than that giant scorpion killed me in the original game.

Careful. You definitely don't want to incur the wrath of Certis' MASSIVE stinger.

I thought Certis' had proboscises.

Obviously, Certis has both. Didn't you get the memo and gene map?
Sheesh.

So who's read up on the character creation process? The whole being born, crawling around tutorial, and the growing up/ developing your character bit. Sounds like good stuff right? I'm certainly intrigued, and I appreciate the tone its sets for the game.
The brain you stole, Fritz. Think of it. The brain of a dead man waiting to live again in a body I made with my own hands!

Yeah, I ended up reading the bit at 1up with Jeff Green and Shawn Elliot about that. It also sounds like a cool way to present a basic tutorial without resorting to something like amnesia. However, it also was where I realized I need to stop reading previews for this game before I ruin it for myself, barring anything that suggests a significant difference between the three versions that might change my mind on which one to get.
I would think the first rule of PR is to ignore forum people, because they vacillate between crazy and liar. - Elysium
This game has me on all of the little things... I really like that children's book character creation process, as well as the idea that I get to influence how my father will appear...
Plus I want to set off a nuke. That's gonna be good.
A smaller but denser world than Oblivion... Good lord, where will the time come from?

I don't much care what Bethesda does with much of anything about the game. I've been a fan of the Elder Scrolls to the point that I bought my 360 specifically to play Oblivion. I recognize that Bethesda made a lot of mistakes with that game but would do the same in a second.
What gets me excited about F3 is comments like these from bit-tech: "I realised that Bethesda had absolutely nailed the tone of the series"
Fallout is all about the atmosphere. I'm picking up on release day.
Steam
What I really can't wait for is seeing what the mod community can do with this thing. If we're lucky it will provide an engine and a set of assets for tons of great post-apocalyptic games.

This is one of my hopes as well. I have been a longtime fan of the Bethesda RPG's but I think they really hit their stride with the Mod support built into Morrowind and Oblivion. My copies of those games barely resembled their original published forms when I got done with them. As long as they can get close to the post-apocalyptic tone of Fallout I will be pleased, but I am more excited to see what the Mod community will produce with the tools and assets that Fallout 3 will bring.

Also, this italics thing is killing me.

Perhaps it will be similar to the Chestburster birth sequence from AVP 2?

Probably the best place to catch up on everything is Qt3's nearly 50 page thread on the game:
http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=36281
Devs, journalists who've played it, NMA groupies invading, etc. Sometime in the past few pages (in the mid-40s I think) somebody put up a comprehensive post of everything that's been shown thus far. Worth a skim for the Fallout fan.

Excellent find. Now if only my Fallout parents don't have the same reaction my real ones did, as in wondering if somebody in the hospital switched babies.

Here's something I didn't know about that makes me excited.

Carrying this over from the other Fallout thread, I just wanted to mention that the music link only works if you've passed Fallout's age verification front-page. Mostly this is to relocate the discussion.

I personally don't get the vocal minority that's been saying that kinda crap. No game sequel ever lives up to anyones expectations, so why are they so damn... rabid about it?
I'm totally looking forward to Fallout 3 and could care less that it's not the original developers, that it's not using the "SPECIAL" system. Bethesda's got the spirit of the originals in mind and that's all I care about.

Will there be sex with some wasteland 3-tittied hookers? Cause that would RULE! Then beat em up and take their haz-mat suit... yeah!

Heavy petting is not encouraged.

Can we go back to how Fallout 3 is probably gonna kick major ass?
The Collectors edition comes in a lunch box for heavens sake AND comes with a bobble head! How can it possibly NOT rock?!
