Fair enough, but the Bakersfield of 2077 well... take a look at Las Vegas for example. Las Vegas ca. 1930. Las Vegas 2005. 70 years changes a place but war, wa... nevermind. Anyways, it's an eye-catcher for me too.

This really stood out for me: So half the dialogue in Oblivion was cut because of *drumroll* space limitations due to full (mediocre quality) Voice Over. He's played Fallout AND gets the idea of choice. Give that man a cigar. :D I do find it a bit of an irony that the fellow who...

"A bit" being the opritive phrase. I wonder many many quest paths will be axed because it's being fully Voiced. Illiterate and shallow.

Some choice quotes from PR Pete: "They want a game that's made that they want." "It’s really not hard to take the criticisms it's not the first time we’ve done this" "If you’re not OK with it, you know, we’re OK with it" *sighs* :rip:

Judging by the number of Bethesda people that name a project of Todd's when asked about past games I'm guessing the Todd likes the ol' ego stroked. To wit... I'm starting to see what you are talking about Emil. Indeed, hire people that won't play FO1/2 even when working on its DIRECT...

Simpleminded and derogatory. How uninspired. I do appreciate the irony of reducing NMA to "!Fallout = evil" when I find things so morally ambiguous. :wink: I believe a slightly more eloquent and accurate way to depict this is: Anyways, I hope interested readers stop by NMA and grab a...

I'm guessing this will be the engine for random/easter egg encounters... Translation: Not Many (VO is expensive and limits space!). Dude, they're called ‘Random Encounters’ and no, you didn't invent them. 'Freeform Encounters' indeed. Goes well with the VATS isn't RTwP. The mention...

EDIT: **snip** just saw the other press post (sorry started this earlier) I do hope the MSM will want to do a follow-up on the ethics of the game industry espically since more recent questions have been raised directly relating to Bethsoft by Washington Post Heh, and they call you...

Best preview report I've seen, in depth, two points of view, mentions the pros and cons. Well done. :clap: I'm of the opinion that this is something Beth was trying very hard to avoid as it can seriously hamper the hype machine - just an opinion with some circumstantial evidence to back...

Wow, four paragraphs to ease the fears of bad/meaningless dialogue and not a single word on if the PC responses will have the 35 (or was it 38) character limit. This is a meaningless statement since dialogue in your games has never mattered, you could have one conversation that impacts the...

I believe it's worth noting that this Emil post cost Beth some of it's support. I noticed that VaultDweller 101 a self proclaimed pro-Beth Pro-FO3 fan from Day 1 on the Beth boards had this to say: My point? If this is what it sounds like, and by that I mean NPC's have the same 0-100...

The lack of originality is stunning – as is the implied pandering to the gushing press… A dog in the game, great idea! A robot dog! I can’t believe we didn’t think of this… since, you know, there are four dogs in FO2 that can join the party, two of which are *gasp* robo-dogs. Heh...

I was using that line as an e.g. not a cf. What you said would read fine if it had been, "So, what? Your A+ equates to Desslock's A-... ," Edit: Just noticed he actually gave an A- to the "Don't use Oblivion level scaling", not sure where the B came from...

I note this one because it has nothing to do with Fallout... this is a hold-over from Oblivion concerns, was never part of Fallout, and never was going to be... Might as well say "Don't use Oblivion character stats" [A+ they are using the SPECIAL system] I'd rather see this gimme item...

So the basic evolution of the Spin to this point: First, it was “This will be totally faithful to the core elements of Fallout, this is NOT Oblivion with Guns” Then we had “Destruction is the new TREES!” Next, it was “Oblivion and Fallout are the same type of game really, big go anywhere...

Two points, does anyone else see a problem with endless leveled loot/creature 'dungeons' [Wow, that's the 6th Nuke-a-pult I've found in a Subway station today… :crazy: ] Of course, the option in these areas of X-treme Immurshun(TM) is to either kill everything or don't go in... I can't...

And that, as they say, is the rest of the story, thank for that gem of info Mr. Taylor. :-)

Indeed let's looks at a little more of that 2004 quote (*blows dust off the cover*) It's a long way to twist what was actually said "general impression" into "some nutty fans" no matter how I look at it. As for what the strawman is in this instance, you've nailed it, it's the 2004...

Nope, sorry Todd, this fan* doesn’t fit into your myopic straw man of why Fallout fans are, at the least, concerned and critical and at the most rabid and ravenous, looking to feast on corpses (with a tall glass of toilet-water, of course). So a typical step for Beth really, praise the gaming...

Good of them to update. Other then the 'nothing new to see here' problem, I'm a little miffed that they expect to so easily displace existing FO coverage sites... Come to them for all my Fallout needs? Pfft. Always get a second opinion I say; moreover, don't trust the fella' that says...
