I wonder...
Blizzard has given the rights to people to write Warcraft, Diablo, and Starcraft novels. Why doesn't Interplay give people the rights to write Fallout novels? Or maybe a Redneck Rampage novel? Or maybe a Battle Chess...eh...nevermind.
I think that some games have really came up with some indepth happy crappy. I think there were Doom novels out. I know there was a Myst series. I enjoyed reading the Resident Evil books. The money is out there.
So I suggest that we get some really great novels from our favorite video/computer games. Waddaya say?
Heck there are even Wing Commander novels out there.
Lets get some System Shock, Fallout, and Deus Ex novels out right now! =/
You're probably thinking two things. One, we have fan fics for that. Two, whats this have to do with Sulik?
The answer to the first thing is that it'd be nice to WRITE a fan fic and see it published. Ya know? You can write an uber Fallout story and you can't show the entire world cause you don't have the Fallout rights.
The second answer is that all this talk about mutant conspiracies and such really shows you how indepth the Fallout games were. They had storylines in their side storylines, in their main storyline. They had all kinds of weird stuff going on. In fact, every day I learn something new from somebody else. Its just incredible.
Fallout 1 and 2 would make outstanding books. Even tactics would, although I still have trouble accepting it for some reason or another.
