Showing that you know apparently very little about the game. Thats why I don't like talking to you about....anything. You rather talk about something than know about something. Your all talk.
Well, aside from the fact that I know quite a bit and that you know little about me, I try to avoid piss-poor grammar and stand-alone sentence fragments.
Nope, I just trust the numerous people who were involved in the project and those who wern't involved, but have seen it. Anyone that knew anything about the game seemingly rave about it.
Which is...you!
Funny, I thought a fair bit more were rather suspicious of the multiplayer aspects that were forced to be in there. You know, what is the biggest compromise to quest integrity?
Oh, wait...I'm using terms only developers or those with an interest in design would understand. I shouldn't do that around you as you'd likely not know what they are unless you manage to get someone else to decipher them for you.
While that isn't proof of anything, it gets me interested in what these people can do. Thats all. I am NOT saying that SS would do a bang up job, I AM saying that I think Damien and Jeff are good at what they do. Again, devs that you respect, respect them. Thats good enough for me. If that makes me an idiot, ah well.
Now please point out where that has anything to do with making a faithful sequel to the Fallout series? Oh wait, it doesn't. You were just giving them an oral rim job.
Have a cookie.
But I am already breaking my own rule. So, go back to your little fan club now.
Go back into whatever hole you crawled out of to post the above. Namely, some developer's asshole.

Saying that FO3 would've been utter crap(as Roshambo is implying) is...silly.
Not so, and I would appreciate it if you didn't mouth-stuff any more. What I did write was that people were getting down onto their knees for the developers and praising them for all that is holy and attribute so much to them...when in the past others that were part of the orignal team have given us one buggy and half-finished game full of every pop-culture brain fart they could think of. The developers for Van Buren in question were also working under the direction of those people who designed such before. I then think it's really hard to attribute the success of a hypothetical Fallout game in the hands of a developer that hasn't shown they are capable of such work but will not hesitate in name-dropping the title wherever they think they need more "glory", but has some team members that also happened to work on a Fallout game that wasn't finished. Who is to say that they have a firm understanding of the setting, game mechanics, and other vital aspects that people look forward to when they see the name Fallout? That's right, NONE! That is the same blind supposition argument that F
OS/FOT supporters have been using since day one, is that they say they know the setting, etc. I also recall the stellar influence of BIS' name/talent for Lionheart. Color me none too surprised, although I agree that the game's original premise was crap.
Perhaps some of you are too young to remember what the Official Fallout forum was like back then and how the tone went from funny and absurd before/after Fallout 1 to downright hostile after Fallout 2. Now that there's some slim chance of a Fallout 3, there seems to be no end of glowing fellating by proxy of a message board.
What the hell, folks?
EDIT: Here's a better idea. How about SSE works on their own post-apocalyptic CRPG instead of glory holing Fallout's name around? It would not only give them free creative reign, but it would also give them a title they wouldn't have to license from Interplay for a sequel if they wished to. It certainly sounds a lot better than Carsten or any other developer getting screwed over by Interplay as per usual.
Therefore, the efforts of Damien and Jeff would be under SSE's vision and direction for their own setting, instead of SSE's vision of what they think Fallout is, which we've seen more than one different interperetations of the setting, and getting flamed for it when it would likely flop.
There's plenty of more settings that could be explored, why is Carsten bothering to open his mouth about Fallout and then talk out the other side about their actual ability to do so in a manner that lends doubt?
