Sargallath Abraxium Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Blame Interplay and Bethesda, Troika had an unofficial agreement that they were gettig the Fallout license but then Iply decided that it was better to *** them in the *** and sold it to Bethesda for a price Troika couldnt match. So if we are really, really lucky.. Fallout 3 just MIGHT be playable. It sure as hell wont be anywhere near good with Bethesda developing it.

Cantousent Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Oh, I thought you meant overseer. If you're talking about Sawyer working on Fallout 3, I'm all for it. If the devs are going to post, however, I'd prefer they do it in their own persons.

Gabrielle Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Interplay does indeed blow for selling off the rights to Fallout3 to outsiders. A game of that supreme caliber should stay in the family who made the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaftan Barlast Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 (edited) ..and to make things worse, with the Fallout license in their bag, Troika would most likely have gotten funding which means they wouldnt have gone bancrupt like they did. Well, maybe that would have happened anyway because of the dealings around Vampire:Bloodlines which I know very litttle about Edited December 26, 2005 by Kaftan Barlast DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Judge Hades Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Obsidian should be the ones doing Fallout 3, not Bethesda. Bethesda hasn't done a single sci fi CRPG in the style of Fallout yet. We will be getting Morrowind with guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Child of Flame Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Is it really Beth's fault though? Did they know that Troika wanted the rights? Perchance they just came up to Interplay during the firesale and said "Hey, we'd be kinda interested in developing a new Fallout game." offered up a sum they thought was fair (that little ol' Troika couldn't match) and Interplay grabbed at it? Interplay would still be in the wrong here, but I don't see how you could hold Bethesda at fault. I am not saying the game will be any good, or that it will be bad (I will have to play it first), but be sure to place blame where it is due.

Kaftan Barlast Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Bethesda knew that Interplay had promised Troika that they could buy the rights to Fallout for a certain sum. They contacted Interplay and put in a higher bid and so they got the rights instead despite Iplys semi-official promise to Troika. It was a rotten thing to do for both Iply and Bethesda, but it was unfortunantly perfectly legal.
