How is that an orc? You know what an orc is, right? The real ones, not those fake tolkien ones, much less peterson's orcs...

Wow! Talk about a lack of consistency. Some of the concept is perfect but the rest is awful. I still despise the direction being taken with the supermutants, however inevitable it was.

As with everyone else, I don't really like the different direction they went with the supermutants.

But, I actually think that most of everything else is pretty good.

I disagree with a lot of the opinions in here about the Brahmin. I think the added detail on the brahmin is very nice, and fitting with the setting. They look more ragged and sickly than you get to see in the Fallout sprites, but I think that's a good thing. I also think the mole rat, right above it, is spot on.

The 2 bipedal humanoid robots, on the far left and far right, I see why people don't like, but the rest of the robots I think look excellent. And I actually don't personally mind the humanoid robot on the far left, though that may be for personal reasons as it reminds me of various illustrations of the robot from Ted Hughes' "The Iron Man". While 60's inspired, rather than true Atomic Age, it's one of my favorite children's stories and I just like the character.

Anyway, Architecture, Machinery and Clothing is all especially nice. The Chick in the Leather Armour is probably my favorite piece of the whole series.

i liked some of this stuff, especially the critters.. the brahmin looked like it was going to starve to death and the radscorpion looked mean. wtf is with lobster boy though? he looks like a stand in for a power rangers villain of the week.

i didn't really care for the fashion section so much. it looked like they were trying too hard to me, and i really hope that everyone in the game doesn't look like the village idiot. everything in that image displeases me except for the chick in leather armor and the guy with all the pockets and gear who looks like he was almost in stalker.

didn't really like the orcs either. but that's nothing new.

One thing I can say for certain about the concept art: at least we know what the loading screens are going to look like. Fuck.

Back on topic:

As far as the images are concerned I like most of them. I'll go ahead and say I even like the centaur design...a lot. One thing I REALLY dislike though is Robert DeNiro playing the Super Mutants.

What's the fuckin' deal?

Wikipedia disagrees that orcs are not a part of fallout:

In fantasy settings there are usually only two major types of orcs: 1) The bulldog-shaped face orc (which may or may not have a pig nose and and green skin) ; 2) the strong human-looking face (chiseled jaw and cheek bones) ; and 3) the creepy but weak human-looking face (the orc urchin as it could be called has a face that borrows features from the creepy old man archetype - possibly including a long nose, wrinkles, etc.).

The supermutants from Fallout 1 & 2 borrow elements from the first two groups but are fundamentally different: they don't have too many or too protruding sharp teeth, large mouth and jaw, and all facial features seem human except for the thick green skin, aforementioned mouth and jaw. I think the picture shown above of the Hulk reminds me more of Harry's face than any of the concept art or screen shots seen thus far.

And I want to restate that I think most of the Diablo-esque comments regarding the Deathclaw wouldn't have been made if the artist had given it a big toothy smile.
