I just read the GI article.

Since Bethesda decided to make Fallout 3, we figured we might as well have a forum about it.

I just read the GI article.

It actually seems promising.

-They're trying their damnedest to implement Fallout things (i.e. Aimed Shot = V.A.T.S.) into an Oblivion-type system.

-Dogmeat might be in it.

-Supermutants are definitely in, and they look about the same as they did in the first two games.

-It runs off of the SPECIAL system.

-It has the Vaultboy in it.

-Better faces than Oblivion.

-You can't do everything on one character; doing some missions will block off other ones.

-Karma system is in.

-It's going to be violent as all hell.

-It seems like it'll have the same dark humor as the main series.

-They seem to actually be doing Radiant AI.

-Kids are in.

-Much more voice talent.

-They licensed the Ink Spots song Black Isle wanted to use in FO1.

-While there is a nuclear cannon, you should remember that the main series had its fair share of weird crap too. Does the Ripper ring any bells to you guys?

My point is, it's not Oblivion with guns. It's Fallout with Oblivion gameplay.

Yes, there are some minor promising elements, but the two major things, game perspective and combat mode, are totally hosed. It's first-person 3D (that "3rd person perspective" is just first-person zoomed out a little so that it's over the shoulder), and combat is real-time with a pause function.

It will look like Fallout but play like Doom. That's not what anyone on these boards wanted.

Oblivion is the peak of Western Civilization and, most importantly, the Elder Scroll series. We are standing tall behind one unity, one corporation, one entartainment industry to rule us all - the era of turn-based combat, intelligent dialogues, fascinating stories and troubling your little head with unnecessary and unpatriotic canon is over! All hail Bethesda! Long live FallOrc 3!
