Good old Tim Cain (programmer on Fo1/2) also took some time to do our Fallout Developers Profile, here's a snazzy snibblet:<blockquote>What’s your favourite Fallout memory?

I really enjoyed a lot of the humorous bugs that never made it into game. We had doors that ran away from the player when he opened them, and rocket launchers that fired people that ran to their target and blew up. But if you mean my favourite part of the final games, it’s a close call between the ending of Fallout 1 where you kill the Overseer and the scene in Fallout 2 where you travel back in time and accidentally break the water chip in Vault 13. Both are wonderful scenes, but very different emotionally.</blockquote>That cracked me up, anyone took a video of that rocket launcher??

Nice, about to read it now! This is a great feature you're doing on NMA.

EDIT: Just finished reading. Tim and Chris Avellone working together. That really would be heavenly. Feargus has said he's had publishers ring up asking if he and Obsidian would be willing to do a FO3, and I assume Tim has had the same. If somehow that collaboration between the two, even if it's only a few key people, I think it would make my year.

And interesting stuff about the fans. I like it when Tim says that not everything should be treated as canon, as long as it is in keeping with the spirit.

I think Fallout has some of the most passionate fans I have ever met, and this makes working on future Fallout titles a scary but exhilarating thought. No matter what happens, I know Fallout 3 will eventually be made, and I hope it’s worthy of its name.

Hell yeah
 
my favorite part regarding console vs. PC...
Tim Cain said:
This change is understandable and even expected, but I feel eventually the pendulum will swing and we will see some classic RPG’s (and perhaps even adventure games) being developed again.

a wee bit 'o wisdom in that statement. i hope he's right, for that matter, as i don't want a console breaking up the serenity of my man cave at home...

That is odd. I seem to recall in another thread, you seem to have given the impression that you had.

Perhaps you should change your password if other people are using your computer to post without your permission. After that, uncheck the option to stay logged on with that computer. I'm sorry you have experienced such a problem with your network security, is there anything on my end I could do to help you avoid this problem happening again?

To be more specific, it's the Guardian of Forever special encounter (reference, too), where you travel back through time to Vault 13 (which, for some reason, is deserted). You can find the solar scorcher there, and you can only travel back by messing with the computer that contains the water chip, breaking it.

Good stuff.

Split personalities maybe? Or the curse of the little brother?

Solar scorcher is so useful that it is the main reason that I get energy weapons skill.

Nice feature, this dev. thing. I hope Tim is right about Fallout 3 being made and would rather it be within our lifetimes thankyou.
