New Fallout 3 Info

What the hell? I’m missing copious amounts of sarcasm, right? That’s sure how I remember from the last time i played fallout, which was, oh…last month.

He looks a little less cherubic. Even while in dire or malicious situations, he generally retained good cheer and humor - as a reference to the 50s dauntless mania.

I’m sure he had a couple of scowly-smirky bits, but it seems a little different to me. Not talking a game-killer, or anything.

Looks like the gentle hand of Marketing at work.

I’m starting to see the appeal of a nuclear apocalypse.

[Kunikos]

OH NO, HIS EYEBROWS ARE ANGRY

FALLOUT 3 IS TEH RUINED!!

[thamer]

it is teh ruined. fuck bethseda. fuck lionhead. between Oblivion and Fable those two studious are just rehashing what’s already been done in 3d without really improving on anything.

i remember when Fable’s big selling point is making choices. WTF, Fallout and other CRPGs from Bioware/Black Isle did that ages ago and did it much better.

[Draikin]

You cant fart in Baldur’s Gate.

[thamer]

Yeah what was up with that? Making funny faces and farting in Fable. I sure hope Fallout 3 has that.

[madkevin]

So… I should hate Fallout 3 because Fable sucked?

[Kunikos]

You should hate Bethesda and Fallout 3 because three newbies whose posts are and account for roughly 70-90% of all Fallout 3 and Bethesda trolling tell you to. Duh. I mean, if your opinion doesn’t align perfectly with the forum moderators on some other Jet-addled board where they ban people for having a small disagreement over what makes everything except Fallout 1 SUCK HARD GHOUL BALLS, then FUCK YOU.

Bethesda will be so sad that they made their HARDKORE NMA fans unhappy, that they will definitely be going to be wiping their tears as the traipse back and forth between their office and the bank with wheelbarrows of HARD CASH.

[thamer]

I don’t care if you love it or hate it. I’m just saying all these “new” CRPGs seem to do the same exact thing only worse and then try to sell you on their innovation. I’d like to see something in Fallout 3 that is an actual innovation and does not suck.

edit: and just because you joined here years before i did does not suddenly make my opinion invalid. although if it helps you sleep at night you’re so cool for signing up on quarter to three before i did.

Anybody who calls me a chicken chaser in Fallout 3 is going to get a gauss rifle round in the eyes.

The Pipboy thing could be seen as an evolution of the society’s outlook. The Pipboy of F1 and F2 was found on relics of the past, from a more naive time when people had a more optimistic outlook on what was going to happen, whereas the modern one looks like the product of someone yearning for those older, simpler times, tinged with the anger of how things actually turned out.

Or it could be the result of some marketing focus group. Either way, I don’t think it’s really going to affect my enjoyment of the game.

Your defensive posture is telling. The fact that you KNOW that all your posts are worthless trolling over inane bullshit in a game that isn’t even out yet makes you worthless, not the fact that you have a low post count or that you’re new to the board. There are a handful of people on the board who actually contribute something other than trying to proselytize the unwashed masses into being haters of anything that isn’t Fallout 1.

[thamer]

i am not worthy.

Heck, I didn’t even notice it until it was pointed out. I doubt I’m alone in that.

[thamer]

to remain on topic, the pipboy looking happy was kinda of errie while at the same time reminded people that the game shouldn’t be taken seriously. new comers to the fallout franchise will get a different vibe from the new pip boy.

it kinda sucks but yeah it won’t ruin the game in of itself. i’d be more concerned where else they made these subtle changes and why.

[Zylon]

Eh, you know someone is going to release a “Classic Vault Boy Eyebrows” mod within 12 hours of release anyway.
