Prima Games, who made the Official Game Guide for Fallout 3, are offering a slightly more expensive Collector's Edition version of the guide. Aside from the "rugged hardcover for extra survivability", this edition sports 48 more pages than the regular one, and if it's anything like a music CD coming with or without a couple of bonus tracks, those are the best pages in the universe. I could be wrong though.

I wonder why one of the selling points is "Moral compass choices revealed"? Surely if they had already failed in their ambition of not springing moral surprises on the player, they wouldn't go on about it in interviews?

"rugged hardcover for extra expensive sales"

Sounds like someone cashing in on a hype with an unneeded extra product. Was there really a need for a "collectors edition"? Couldn't they just fit the extra pages in the regular edition and forget about the rugged cover.
 
So does this mean the game is pretty much already finished? Or does it mean that whoever is going to write the guide is just planning ahead?

I wonder if it's possible that the writer of the guide is just randomly guessing at what they'll be writing the guide about?
 
Well, they say since a while that the game is finished.
 
I've never bought a game guide for the sake of more info on the gameplay. In 3-6 months there is typically a patch/s which changes content and makes the guide wrong. But I will pick up a guide for the art and fiction they sometimes contain.
 
wait for the guide theyll install after the micropayment "pimp your rock-it-launcher" addon
 
Hmm.. I wonder if Fallout 3 and/or Fable 2 will be delayed a month or two.

So if the game is pretty much finished, then I wonder what they could possibly be working on right now? Porting it to other systems, bug fixing, tweaking, etc..?

Will NMA have links to the weapons, armor, walkthroughs, etc.. as there is for Fallout 1 and 2, or will Fallout 3 be treated like Fallout: BoS? I've been kinda curious about that.

Mostly bug fixing, on all three systems.

We'll see when the game comes out.

That's called "polishing" and that also is what they said many times during their interviews.
 
Sounds like something you really don't need.
Also, as was pointed out earlier - you can find player made guides that usually work out better :?

I think we all know the answer to that already.

Take a gander at any of the posts made by most of the members here in the past few years, and if you can find me any positive ones (that aren't immediately followed by nasty rebuttals) I'll concede that the game may not end up in the same place as BoS.
 
yeah, you're right, but still we have to actually play the game to have a final judgement.
