Oh god....As if the single player games arent addicting enough as it is >_<.

(haven't played in 6 months, still have cravings)

It's either going to suck, or going to rock. There is no middle ground with Fallout!

Interplay must have sold a lot of blonde babies to get the funds for that kind of project. I was following their financial situation for some time now... I hope it's not another Fallout 3.

There was a Fallout 3?

Yea, but vapor ware only.

NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Go play arcanum if ya want another fallout.

Also, the new tatical shooting one sucked.

The grand history of Fallout:

Fallout 1: Great
Fallout 2: Great but simmaler to Fallout 1
Fallout Tactics: Great but HARD
Fallout Brotherhood of Steel: Consolized and horrible to boot
Fallout 3: Bethisda taken control. Oh please god, don't 'oblivionize' it.
Fallout Online: I dunnkow.

"Fallout Tactics: Great but HARD" ...and no RPG. At all.

Also I'm truely glad I missed out on Fallout BOS (PS2).

Yeah there was a Fallout 3, it met the same fate as Duke Forever. Let's hope Betheseda does not bastardize it... too much.

Arcanum on the other hand only got the SPECIAL system in common with Fallout. The game itselfs blatantly sucks. Trust me, I'd rather play Fallout 1 on DOS for the 103912039th time than finish Arcanum even once. It looks all fancy in the beginning until you get further into the game. Nowhere near the level of Fallout, gameplay wise.

Oh, just an FYI - if you're going for the stereotypical "Victorian British policeman" tone, the proper phrase is "'Ello, wot's all this then?" :)

I don't particularly trust "Interplay" as a competent development studio... When Black Isle loses creative control to Interplay things like fallout brotherhood of steel happen.

I seriously question weather Bethesda can pull off a fallout title from my experience of morrowind. Frankly I'm fairly disappointed in the lack of titles even attempting to touch on the fallout formula. There are entirely too few games where you can collect massive arsenals firearms and use them creatively and destructively to produce results reminiscent of something you might expect in real life. Fallout hit the nail on the head.

I still liked Fallout tactics. It was hard, but fun and I'm still stuck on the eight level out of twenty or so.

What I really don't want is a Oblivion with Guns. Cuase in Fallout, you play as charicters, but in Oblivion you play as rather 'generic races'. In Fallout you can make a really dumb strong guy, or a really slinky agile theif with a face as ugly as a plate. In Oblivion you can play one of nine races and you can't change anything about them! Now thats fine for Oblivion, but for Fallout it'd suck.

Fallout without Bloody Mess and Jinxed is no Fallout at all. Oh and the abilty to kick rats in the crotch and shoot people in the kneecap with a shotgun.

Ya, and the fact that it would tell you in gruesome detail how the rat nuts were being crushed or how shards of kneecap were being blasted out the other side. Even if it didn't always match the death animation it made it alot more fun to try.

I also LOVE the plasma deaths. Their skin MELTS off, leaving nothing but bones and bubbly flesh. Then the bones collapse into a pile with this disgusting "slluuuuuuuuuuurpsquish" sound. Ugh. Its horrible in a beautiful, beautiful way.

I always liked the close range SMG / Big Guns death animation where half their torsos get blown away ^^

I always choose the bloody mess trait

rattle · Post by **rattle** » 15 Dec 2006, 18:00

That's what I take most of the time. Ever shot a kid a with a laser, plasma or emp gun? I love melting them...

That is pretty creepy. Damn muties. We should kill em all!

Who's with me?

I went ahead and fixed this for you:

Fallout1 and 2: Great

Fallout BOS: I never heard of it, which is for the best.

Agreed, Tatics is not good. It's just... a tatics shooter.
