Classes? Pah! If I had portable Fallout (well, along with portable Arcanum and portable Civ IV) I'd never get out of bed! ... so maybe it's a good thing it doesn't exist.

No no, those were only non-immersive peeks into Bethesda's universe. Fallout 3 is the REAL Fallout and it's really their universe because like Pete the Liar says, they've worked on it longer! Hooray for the one true Fallout! :aiee:

Books aren't next-gen, man. Todd does read comics though...

No. He could've corrected the interviewer and said it wasn't a turn-based strategy game (like Tactics). He chose to go and say it wasn't a turn-based RPG.

Hey that's great, chuckles. You keep on trolling and flame baiting there, and when they finally hit you with the banhammer you'll no doubt go off and cry "They banned me for my opinion!!!"

XCom was real-time strategy with turn based combat, too!

One very minor comfort to me is that between silly quotes like these and Todd's showing the "design vision" around it's obvious that they know damn well their Fallout doesn't stay true to Fallout. So they're making up stupid excuses to try and make it look like it does.

Well golly gee you sure are ungrateful. After all, that there Emil only wants to give us the immersion we never had before, and to save us from those 4 pixel high chairs!

Did Todd zap Emil with his Retard Ray or something? He was never much of an eloquent speaker before, but god damn. "It wasn't turn based, it was real time with turn based combat"? That's the kind of line I expect from some Gears of War loving yokel, not the head programmer of an RPG.

That's not a case of listening to anyone. That's just Zenimax doing business. Herve made a crappy hole-filled deal with GC and Zenimax was under no obligation to honour it if they didn't have to. As for feedback... as of the last time I visited the Bethsoft forums it was still a bannable...

I view the inclusion of that document as suspicious. Does Todd care about old fans? No. Does Todd want to appear to care about the old fans who are nothing but a bunch of rabid losers who want a clone of Fallout 2 and will never be pleased and he's really a saint for trying? The Magic 8 Ball...

I just like how he's trying to imply that Fallout 3 fits the original vision of Fallout. Yep, Bethesda sure do listen to the fans! They listened when the fans said Fallout 3 isn't shaping up as a true sequel. Their response? Twist facts from long ago to their advantage! Go go Todd, history...

Yeah but.. does Pete ever tell the truth about anything?

Fluffy bunnies?

Basically, they're stealing ideas from Fallout 1 + 2 and repackaging them. But it's a standalone story, so it's okay! Sort of like how they're stealing ideas from Fallout Tactics while declaring it non-canon.

WRONG! This man is WRONG! In fact I can't hear him! La la la! Wrong wrong wrong!

Graphically and in terms of the general feel of combat you're correct, but as an avid TES player over the years let me assure you that many aspects remain basically the same. While they're obviously different games, the feel is very similar. I'm not a fan of anyone who continually does the...

As far as their links go, it's not surprising. Their attitude to the old fans is clearly "either embrace our way of doing things 100% or go jump in a lake".

Has it ever occurred to you that Torment is great in spite of the pigeon-holing, not because of it? Besides, Fallout and Arcanum beat it to a pulp.. anybody who disagrees is wrong, obviously!

Does anyone else love the irony of how Todd once again repeats the old "we take most of our inspiration from Fallout 1" line? I mean, let's see... gratuitous humour.. Monty Python references.. the Enclave.. well golly gee aren't those all from Fallout 2?
