This thread just had to be answered, mainly it was about the story/setting in Fbos compared to the original ones:<blockquote>As we have stated in many interviews, this game was meant as a one off, what if story. Just one of thousands that could be going on in a post-apocalyptic world.
It was not our intention to create canon nor intentionally disregard it it. I hope that as you play the game, you would see that the story explains many of your concerns.
As for the Brotherhood being outside of California, we could offer an explanation, but again, since we will not be canon, would it make a difference?
The hardrock. I personally would have loved nothing but southern rock for this title. Thorogood, ZZ Top, Alabama etc. etc. But our budget and some creative differences did not allow for this. It happens. Not that this would be anymore acceptable to you, but it would have my choice.
The Sex. It is a shame that we use sex to sell so much in todays marketplace. But this approach to marketing is proven. I do think that once you play the game, you will see that it is only a small percentage of our world. </blockquote>Well choosing southern rock only shows what you know of the setting, Chuckie..
I really love this part and it takes a man to admit it:<blockquote>Yes, you are right. We should have been here and we should have spoke with you, the fans. We messed up.</blockquote>Then I just had to ask: "Yet again, should you have tried to stay more true to the setting even if the story is an "off, what if" ?<blockquote>Chuckie: In hindsight, with the Fallout community in mind, maybe. I still don't believe, given the setting, the story or the first attempt to bring a 2d world to 3d that we strayed unbelievablly far. You may not like what we did, but that does not mean that what has happened in our story is not plausible.</blockquote>Follow up with "Why only maybe ?":<blockquote>Chuckie: Maybe meaning we could have taken a different approach to the basis for our game.
We could have used screen shots from the original game(s) as the concepts for this one. But when you are creating something new (sort of), most artist choose to interpret things for themselves.
It was all in the approach. We chose to create new concepts. That is the maybe.</blockquote>Puh, long post... Comments anyone ?
