Yup it's that time again kids, our latest addition to the Fallout Developers Profile is none other than the man behind the Fallout manual, the man with the many various signatures...It's Chris R. Taylor, here's a peek:<blockquote>Were there things that you wished you had added to either Fallouts?

Yeah, lots. Fallout 1 should have been about 50% larger, with a better endgame. I mostly wish about the things we could have changed and tweaked in the SPECIAL system. We didn't spend a lot of time on the system once we changed over from GURPS. Tim, Jess and myself cranked through the system pretty quickly (I remember one very intense week of scribbling on the whiteboard in Tim's office) and then we spent most of our time finishing up areas and getting the game done. I wish we had refined and cleaned up the system to remove things like non-useful skills, fixed the time puzzles/invasion events and fixed the combat system so it wasn't so Fragile Ninja-ish. I also wish we had done the game as a set of editors, NWN-style, but that would have been a much different project.</blockquote>If you're one that don't remember the name Chris Taylor, then you should be ashamed of yourself!!

Great read.

I have a lot of hope for Fallout. It's a beloved franchise with lots of fanatical fans and a ton of potential. It has a world-wide appeal (who doesn't love exploring a devastated land and making your own decisions about how the story will turn out?)

There are (at least) two Chris Taylors in the industry. The Fallout Chris Taylor and the Cavedog Chris Taylor are two different developers.
 
When ChrisT left i had a feeling of "end of the party", that things weren`t going to be the same. Well it`s great to hear from him again, someone tell him that Vivendi owns part of the FO3 code, i`m sure he can take a peak, if it`s not stored by the Interplay records...

These profiles are making me nostalgic...
