TOEE's game mechanics weren't bad, some errors of course and also the TB combat was awesome. Use that for Fo3 and you've got yourself a good combat engine..

Personally I was more bothered by the way the plot evolves than anything else in ToEE (the bugs everybody keeps mentioning didn't bother me at all, actually).
The game has all in all 2 inhabited areas, you start in a small village, complete one single necessary quest, and from there you go to the biggest of the 2 inhabited areas, complete a single necessary quest, then you can join the Temple of Elemental Evil itself and finish the game! Not much of an epic feeling to the game, is it...

Actually the rumours point in the direction of keeping Descent for the next generation consoles, and sell or license the rest. We`ll see what the end results will be. Just rumours for now.
Massive rope playing Games bring radical reactions of refusal from many sides on the Fallout community, it would be a mini-FOBOS crisis all over again, and that isn`t in the interest of any dev team.
But yeah, if the Fallout franchise doesn`t die now branding will be the way to go, i`m pretty sure of that too. A Fallout3 together with a Fallout Chronicles series, followed by Fallout: In the line of the Guass Rifle FPS and a Fallout:Advance Wars is something that must have passed by the heads of a few people in the industry. Oh well, again we`ll see what happens.

I don't mean nono in "they won't", I meant nono in "I don't want them to"
I don't like Vivendi.
But yeah, they have a not-shabby shot at getting the license, if they want it.

I personally found that TOEE is unbelievably boring (it may be because I’m not into D&D but still). The quests were a complete rubbish, no back story what so ever, I enjoyed Arcanum way more then TOEE, at least it had some story into it. The way I see it Troika is getting sloppy, plus they are quite small to finance the license purchase.
the game developers at Troika admit themselves that:
Arcanum: good story, bad combat (not tactical at all)
ToEE: extremely bad story, excellent combat
still, it's one of the best games since a long time for D&D lovers...

The publishers I listed were ones that I think would hand the development over to Troika or Obsidian. Vivendi are in my good books after doing that pro-PC gaming interview a while back.

I was thinking of Interplay focusing on a brand of "Great RPG games". Granted it would take a creative individual who at least played such games, specifically the games the company made.
I'd like to nominate myself for such a position. I've got over 20 years of playing games and games design, not to mention my programming background.
Anybody need an out of work game designer and C#/VB programmer?

I was wondering about that. No luck, huh? Try Obsidian
And honestly, I don't think Interplay has the talent left for Great RPGs. They could hire them if they had the money, sure, but y'know...

"We have received your submission for the design position at Obsidian Entertainment, but we regret that other applicants more closely meet our criteria. You are welcome to resubmit when a new position opens up."
Guess they don't need or want me.

Tough luck.
PS I wouldn’t recommend applying at Interplay, they have bad record for paying ppl.
