Gameplayer Australia previews Fallout 3 (new screenshot)

It could work if the BoS took a sample from the military base in FO2 and decided to test it on some unsuspecting schmucks far far away from them so that if it got out of hand they would just be able to wash their hands of it and not worry about the consequences due to distance.

However, once again that requires story depth, something Bethsoft isn't known for...
 
You mean like in Fallout: BoS with General Attis blood turning into acid blobs?!@? That were awesome Fallout 3 should deifnitely have that?!?!?

No, but I wonder what would happen if a human were injected with supermutant blood.

Some minor mutation, may be unnoticable. Big part of California survived population was infected by FEV air fumes and looked normal. Or such cases as Harold and Talius. Supermutants were created by massive FEV bath. According to Capital Wasteland BoS revelations there was some mysterious source of mutants at DC. I bet - some governent facility or even office (EPA HQ?). The next trace could be Kalashnikov-shaped gun used by supermutants (let's speculate... ).

BTW as far as I remember Behemoth was as tough as should be killed with 2 Fatman eggs (car door were taken from US President armored car :), er, was it yellow?).

That was the mutated strain of FEV. And FEV was initially designed to be injected.
 
Didn't Marcus saay that Super Mutants weren't sterile? You know, the whole "get the juices flowing" stuff??

Anyway, I still need to write the damn text for the contest before I can speculate more about BoS on the East Coast
 
I don't know how it was, are male super mutants sterile or female super mutants sterile, but I know one thing- they can't have children. And Marcus was kidding

Avellone, who wrote that dialogue, said that Marcus was joking.

Bad, bad, bad. Marcus went east, saw nazi Fallout BoS on the middlewest, went mad, equipped with bunch of AK-47 and went to DC. He cloned himself there.
 
I think Bethesda and other gaming sites are just so confused and lost when it comes to anything Fallout. By the time its released it wont matter what the backstory or frontstory is. Because so much bullshit has been said that it seems nobody cares anymore; the pansies just want nukes and bullets. Hell, I'm confused. Can someone tell me the REAL story behind FEV. I once heard it but now I'm just lost. I don't even see fallout 3 as Fallout 3. Its a damn nock off. Like many have said before. I Don't know why we argue over the accurate lore and what not. Because the people at Bethesda don't give a fucking shit. They just want to sell a game. At least Harrison Ford is acting in Indiana Jones 4. Hes old! Why can't they stick to the roots like Indiana Jones 4 is? In INDJ4 they are going to cut back on special effects/CGI to keep it Indiana Jones. And I bet that will sell millions.
 
"I Don't know why we argue over the accurate lore and what not. Because the people at Bethesda don't give a fucking shit. "

I guess its because it can provide insight on those that may be fooled by where bethesda is going to take it. So that if bethesda says something that sticks out immediately as contradictory to the accurate lore, one can immediately say "bullshit, that's completely the opposite, fuck your take on lore, I ain't buying your FINO3".
 
I haven't posted here in months, I check back and nothing has really changed at all. Bethesda must be trying to put off the inevitable mega shitstorm as long as possible.

At least we get gamer achievements now, though.

I agree but Bethesda has continuously defiled many core elements of fallout. And they do it so much now that I really don't think they care. And the few people that come and look for what fallout is really about are like an endangered species. Their target audience is "fun". They don't want a good story or long history. They want guns, nukes, and MANY explosions.
I will keep on I guess. Sometime it just gets ridiculous. BTW, Fallout 3 looks like shit. Stop the hype and make a real Fallout 3!(msg to Bethsoft). If Harrison Ford can act in Indiana Jones 4, then Fallout 3 can include Isometric with an advanced 3d engine! Honestly, the main thing that makes me hate Fallout 3 is because its not ISO view. I'm so sick of these games coming out. Fallout 3 isn't anything new, its just like every other second rate POS.

Initially.

The FEV-II we know (developed off FEV-I by Grey) requires a prolonged exposure to it via a long bath in the vat containing large quantities of the virus in order to create the supermutants we know.

It rewrites the host's DNA completely - contact with supermutant blood would most propably create a localized mutation that would be soon removed by the body's immunity system.

Also, is it me, or is the fact that Fatman is now an unique, one-shot weapon, as compared to the original announcement of "rare" ammo, proof that Bethesda, at least in some regards, listens?

Or is it just a coincidence?

For the record: the environments are designed properly and look great, especially the screenshot in this newspost I had no problem categorizing as Fallout.
 
This new screenshot compared to the other screenshots that they've released before seem to confirm BN's analysis on the inconsistency in their design. I mean if you take a look at the megaton slums and it doesn't look like 50's Americana (I imagine it should've looked like Junktown or The Den, some shanties here and there, but mostly concrete dilapidated houses and lots of mechanical stuff lying about).

I hope to see more screenshots of Vault 101 since according to BN's preview is consistent with FO1's vault design. That and their design for Mr. Handy.

One thing I'd like to see is a screenshot of vault 101 which accdg. to BN "is an accurate replica of everything we've seen in the original games"

there were a couple screenshots from the vault with "DAD" :

I think they are listening, to some extent. I also believe though, that they attempted to do a workaround with their super mutants & BoS since there were complaints and murmurs about that, which met with a similar disaster.

From one of the recent interviews, I noticed the screens that were requested to be removed all had super mutants in them. A good indication that those are NOT the final design, or are no longer meant to be showed anymore..

I do think they are listening, and do want to surprise us. Although I believe they are probably often a little setback as to the umm.. reactions, that I have seen posted.

In all honesty, I think posts like "No that's not right. Make it look more like the original Fallout Super Mutants" would be more helpful than "Heck no that's not fallout! Those look like Super ORCS!! You stupid *beep beeps*" !!!

But to be fair, I think they take both types of criticisms into account.. even if the latter type is, in all honestly, completely unhelpful to someone who may not have played Fallout 1 and/or 2.
 
There have been countless posts both here and at Bethsoft forum pointing out exactly what's wrong with the new mutants.
