"we were not making the game for the Fallout 1 or 2 enthusiasts and that the games were for a different type of game player"

No, this statement was made about the possibility of more genre cross-overs.

Uhhh.... Yeah, like that worked so well with X-Com......

I can't wait until Interplay release:

1) Fallout Shopping Adventures
Loosely based on the idea of "Barbie's Shopping Adventures". Players get to walk around a supermarket buying all sorts of wonderful guns whilst trying to stick to a budget!!

2) Descent Fallout
Just like "Descent Freespace", descent will have absolutely nothing to do with this title....

3) Fallout 3D
An FPS based on the Fallout atmosphere. NOTE: About the only game that *might* have a slim chance of working... Although... That's what they probably thought about the X-com FPS...

4) Fallout Grand Theft Auto
Drive around a ruined, wasted city and run over ghouls!! Wild hollywood style driving. Take jobs from the New Reno mafia bosses and do your best to avoid the NCR police....

5) Fallout-craft
Think Starcraft meets Fallout... Play as one of 3 races, Ghouls, Super Mutants or Humans. Build up your resources and conquer them all!!

6) Fallout Civilization
Lead your tribe through the wastes, settle your cities and build a civilization. Conquer the world or build a spaceship to Alpha Centauri. Or... Achieve victory by terra-forming the planet back to its pre-nuclear war state!

Don't feed the Troll, or Ogre, don't feed the Troll.:D

Hey man, you just may give Feargus more ideas to milk the cow. "Cool, that's a great idea!!", says the marketing department, "We can stuff it with the latest lingo and cool features, then it will sell like hot buns!!".

The problem with these guys are that they aren't real business men/women. Most game companies started with a good idea, and a great desire to make the games they will like to play themselves. That's why some many great game designers never stay in one company long, i.e. Sid Meier, Peter(forgot how to spell last name, the guy made black & white), and etc..., because by then it's not about making games anymore, it's about how to sell a generic product like hollywood. What ends up happen a lot is that when the original company grows bigger than the they can manage, they start hiring outsiders to manage it and market it who don't dick about the game business. When that happens, the original funders who don't want to be left out of the loop start to handle things themselves. Business is not something you learn on the fly. You can go to all the classes and seminars you want, but you can't be a good business man without some solid exp. What some of them end up becoming is a half-a*s business men who used to make decend games but has lost all touch with the gaming reality in the process of expansion. Feargus is not a business man. You can have all the titles in the world, but it won't make a difference if you aren't the right person for the job.

Well:D, that's my FO3 rant for the day.:D

and finally james Ghoul 7007: A secret agent ghoul tries to infiltrate the evil oil rig in order to blow it up.

You are lucky Fallout was different from Diablo's kill-loot-repeat gameplay. Post-nuclear fantasies usually tend to be not much different from action CRPGs' gameplay - you loot ruins for goodies, scavenge the wasteland, and fend off gun-totting sociopaths. Looks like a perfect scenario for post-nuclear Diablo.
