Fallout 3: A post nuclear blog

Some dude named Briosafreak started a Fallout 3 blog. He interestingly quotes something we missed, from Critical Hits:<blockquote>There are a bunch of comments on Kotaku about whether or not it will be first person, third person, and how well the game will play out and look. All I have to say is, don’t worry. I can’t say anything more then that, but really and truly trust me, don’t worry. If you must know more you’ll have to ask me personally, and even then probably with a few drinks in me for good measure.</blockquote>To which Dave Chalker immediately responded:<blockquote>Bartoneus works in the same building as BethSoft, and so has gotten some glimpses of Fallout 3 in progress, but had to sign an NDA to do so, so that was the best (legally) he could say. He hasn’t even told me, his web-boss, about it, so I’m as dying to know as you are!</blockquote>Chalk another one up for "I know stuff and love it" to stand opposed the "I know stuff and hate it"-rumours. Both equally useless.

I also wonder who he is...but sounds more like some pale "spent too many hours in a basement" bloke to me.... :P

Nice start,it's impossible to get too much to read about FO and PA things IMHO,so good luck with the blog,I've already bookmarked it,so now I'll get to see more than just RPGdot,DAC and NMA when I look at gaming sites. :)
 
Why do I feel he's just excited about knowing a big SEKCRET! and is somewhat biased in that respect. There's only one word you need to hear to be certain of Fallout 3's shittiness: CONSOLE.

And wasn't this mirrored in a recent mockery of nma's glittering gems of hatred on another message board like a month ago? Some journalist said "not to worry" or just said brios was wrong about the first person thing. If you've actually seen or heard something concrete don't be a cock about it.

You still read RPGDot? I hope you mean RPGWatch.

Yes,I still visit RPGdot...
Read is an exaggeration though,I check news to see if there's some game I might've missed and go from them to the game(s)/review site.(so I use it as an indexsite,i.e. I don't care what's written,I only use it as a source to find the information,since I like their way of putting all news up top,easy to read IMHO)

I did read the "know your heritage" article though...which reminded me why I stopped reading the site,I mean (quote from it) :

"Computers mean you can play any time, that’s their advantage, and these days they have nice shiny graphics too, plus they take care of all the rules in the background so you don’t have to worry about them but even so CRPGs can, at best, offer you a few different routes through or outcomes of a game. They can’t – and don’t – allow for improvisation or acting entirely how you choose to play, in many cases you can’t even create your own character!"

Which somehow -don't know why- made me feel that the writer never even saw the cover of FO,let alone ever held the CD in his hands.

I moved to the RPGWatch when Dhruin and his lot moved. RPGDot isn't much with Dhruin gone, it's has an odd focus that I find uninteresting (FF), and the Watch beats it with articles easily.

I'll keep an eye on watch from now on.(how weird keeping an eye on watch ever may seem ;) )
Looks similar and I'm sure the articles are more interesting than those on dot.(the reason I ever started checking dot was Gothic,back when it was released and it has stuck with me ever since)
I've read articles on watch,but I've never really checked the site as it is,so thanks for waking me up from my slumber.
 
Bartoneus works in the same building as BethSoft, and so has gotten some glimpses of Fallout 3 in progress, but had to sign an NDA to do so, so that was the best (legally) he could say. He hasn’t even told me, his web-boss, about it, so I’m as dying to know as you are!

Since he had to sign something, I'm guessing that means that they don't want us to worry because we will be dissapointed (but of course they dont want us to think so)

I woulda had much mroe faith in this guy until he said he had to sign something.
 
Ugh, Goweigus, you *ALWAYS* have to sign an NDA when viewing a WIP in the industry, especially one that hasn't even been announced. It's standard industry practice.

You really need to stop overthinking, especially overthinking based on wrong assumptions.

Goody, but just to make things clear I don't have a basement!

And Mad Max I understand the frustration, but this time I think we don't have much time to wait until they start showing something more solid, like Emil said on DAC. We'll see.
 
"about whether or not it will be first person, third person, and how well the game will play out and look. All I have to say is, don’t worry"

Thank you for easing my mind. I am not worried anymore because you just said that F3 will be:

- isometric
- playable
- good looking

And something tells me I should trust you and I should really believe you when you say I should not worry.

Does anyone know a case in which someone had to suffer because he broke the DNA?
 
Although I share the concerns about Bethesda's "non-Oblivion" game making capabilities (meaning they will probably make an Oblivion with guns as Fallout 3), I do believe we got to be a tad more patient only for the sake of...well...hope?
I mean we don't have any FACTS yet, only speculation whether it is based on solid evidence or not. At least let's wait to see the first confirmation of Real-Time (for example) to really have a reason to be disappointed :P

PS Don't think I'm trolling, I truly want TB combat and the whole isometric, unique feeling of FO 1&2... I just want to give Beth a chance... to prove me wrong.
 
I still don't get the point of this blog. To cover everything that has already been covered and raped through? Is that it?
