He banned himself a while back.
Though I have a sneaking suspicion RPG of the Year is really Rosh, but meh.

"Or risk it all in a desperate gamble to make a game for a new fanbase who haven't even heard of Fallout before you purchased it."

I think that is not a desperate gamble at all! All the Oblivion fans (which are many) will buy Fallout 3 just because was made by Beth$.

Doubtfull, and even if this were so: why, then, pay $1 million for the Fallout license if you're not getting any new buyers with it?
 
when Fallout 3 will receive a 9,5 score and will be called RPG of the year, will get their buyers.
When they bought the license, I bet they knew their plans from the start! All is calculated with precise accuracy.

"Something wonderful" should happen to disrupt their evil schemes! :D

I think he's a toned down Roshambo and he's just a hairs breadth away from exploding into his former rightious fury! :lol:

I really miss that. :)
 
hmm... well they do have the same style but Rosh accompanied that style with can't-argue-with-that arguments, while RPG of the year!! mostly doesn't. But this whole thing might be like Charley Chaplin going to a Charley Chaplin imitation contest and comes up second :D
 
A very good conclusion to the article. Points the way for Bethesda, as you so succintly put it. In respect to the Fallout Fan community and its value. Sincerely, I hope they realize this.

Kudos to you, Kharn and those involved as well.


Alas, I fear that Bethesda is like a clown, or one-trick pony...
They stick to what they know. Hope is sometimes a cruel thing, but the fact that Todd Howard is project lead for their Fallout game leaves me only with a bitter smile.

Cain save us.

Finally, I (the author, Kharn) would like to thank everyone for the interest, comments and criticism, but for the actual proof-reading would like to thank Briosafreak and per, Sander for suggestions, spelling notes and helping with the final design and, most of all, the article's chief editor, welsh, for spending hours meticulously picking out superfluous language, though I secretly suspect he spent half that time thinking up creative ways of calling my writing terrible.

I actually didn't help a fraction of the amount welsh and Sander did.
 
Always good to see zerO around 8)


These articles started a ridiculous discussion on the Qt3 forum, that indirectly sparked some comments on Bethesda's producer Ashley Cheng blog. On one side he thinks the bs ideas of how the Fallout fans are are true, but he sort of makes an interesting point. And since he likes Grim fandango and wanted a DS Monkey island he must be a nice guy 8) , so kudos to him for actually taking the time to talk about these matters. This is him talking, not Bethesda, maybe that's why it sounds better than usual ;)

Here take a look

Kathode we want you to come forward too, presto :)

Edit:
Per: me neither :shock:

Heh... likewise, Briosa.

Yeah, that Qt3 thread was really off-kilter, what with all that ignorant NMA bashing going on. Ironically they just confirmed their own stereo-typing.
 
Great effort.

I can't help but notice how much Briosafreak is involved with posting in every site, chat or blog that has even the slightest connection to Fallout.

You're our ambassador, of sorts.So if no one objects, I propose to the admins that you change consigliere to the more appropiate "Ambassador of the Wastes" title. Silencer you listening? :P

"Glittering Gems of Hatred" and "Don't Buy the Hype" reflect our feelings towards Fallout 3/Bethesda for a beloved franchise which could simply be destroyed by Beth's lies, lack of communication and exclusion of the whole Fallout community. And it could simply be saved by talking and, most of all, listening. Just listening. Listen to a community that has survived 10 years, most of them filled with disappointments, but never gave up.
It would be a shame if Bethesda will not react on these articles.

I suggest compile those two articles for easy reading 8)
 
very good read.
I think that even not-Fallout-fans have to agree to the conclusions.

:D
Kharn is a Lewis Carrol fan, I suppose.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came.
 
Amazing article, suggest you guys merge the 3 parts into a big single article and publish it into a serious game magazine somehow.

What the hell, how does one self ban?!
 
So would it be OK if I translated this article and tried to get it published in local IT/Gaming magazines? (With credits to Kharn/NMA of course)
