Fallout 3 Canon Iconsistencies

[MrSambuka]

Is there a list or resource that's been compiled on the list of canonical inconsistencies between F3 and the rest of the series (excluding FoT etc)

Would appreciate a point in the right direction, thanks.

Well, as we know shit about the game's story ATM, can't tell you much. Most of inconsistencies are of gameplay or approach to the game's world (instead of shades of gray, we may get another KotOR with alignment meter and shit).

Brotherhood of Steel isn't the same as I recall and Super Mutants are diffrent. Ghouls grew the ability to zap you with radioactive attacks, we have a nuclear catapult....but is cannon changed besides that? Can't tell.

*cough* Karma *cough*

What we've heard so far smells like Bioware-style black-or-white choices, though.

Nope.
In part because there's almost no clear, definitive info available.

Also, wrong forum.

Also, next time, at least try searching the forum.

yeah.but i'd take bioware's black and white C&C over the lame ass meaningless choices found in oblivion anyday..so if thats the case.its certainly a step up for beth,maybe one day they'll get the hint that "huge massive empty worlds don't =deep immersive roleplaying


on a side note,although i agree with alot of people's beef with features going into fallout 3,i will say complaining about the vaultsuit being baggy is petty and fucking retarded

Well of the released BoS developer diary entry or whatever, what contradictions are there?

The BoS story? Just the usual: xenophobic "keepers of technology" send half their soldiers to the other side of the continent after hearing rumours about *something* techy going on, although they couldn't even be arsed to protect mankind from the mutant army when the threat was rubbed in their face. Also, the said goody two-shoes noble knights protecting the local populace against the new mutants by building a huge citadel when they never cared much about foreigners before. Also the child girl they apparently dragged along who suddenly became their leader.
