Briosafreak Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Girias Solo you are talking on a forum that asked a KotorII in the style of Kotor and got it, and a NWNII in the vein of NWN and got it, so many won't be sympathetic with someone asking for a FO3 in the same vein of the previous ones, since they never had to go through the experience of not getting it And others like other games, so they would love for a Fallout game to resemble them (Deus Ex, pfffft ) . And just to finalize Emil is an interesting guy, he could probably do an interesting game with the right team and tools, just not FO3. Why don't they just change the name of the games? Oh well, from what we know of the game (yeah Shadowstrider we do ) there's no reason to call it a Fallout game, so we might as well follow with our lives. What do you say Girias? So my advice is let it go and enjoy life, like me, nothing that could be said on the Obsidian Fora could have any effect on how Fo3 is going to be made, or how we like the games, so let's move on. And a great to so many familiar faces, it's nice to see you around Planet Fallout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I want to reserve judgment but everything I hear so far for Fallout 3 has been bad.

Tel Aviv Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I hope Beth don't kowtow to the hardcore fan base, which we all know they won't. I'm optimistic; hopefully they'll preserve the art direction of the series while taking the game in it's own specific direction. Guys, if am wrong on this one, you can all send me your mailing address' and I will buy you a 500ml bottle of Dr Pepper each, regardless of whether you like it or not.

Sand Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Bioware's writing skills are somewhat average but Bethesda's is downright horrid.

Pop Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Bethesda doesn't have writing skills, just copy and paste skills. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Eh, just so long as they don't make every NPC capable of initiating conversation, and write specific dialogue for important NPCs, no one will be able to tell the difference. The Fallout riff-raff had only slightly more to say than TES riff-raff, because you didn't have the opportunity to ask them about everything, and thus they didn't have the opportunity to give stock answers.

Concise, direct speech is a better way of handling character diversity than to give the vast majority of gameworld riff-raff the same wikibased hyperlink system. That's part of the problem, assuming that every character must have something to say or that they should be asked about everything. Making information centralized and in the hands of a select few characters per location is more than enough, like Fallout did. Either that, or sprinkle information across NPCs so as to give players a sense that each NPC is embebbed into the local culture but that each one has different perceptions and experiences from it. Look at Baldur's Gate 2, some areas had handfulls of NPCs strolling around each with their own account of the area they were in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Agreed. I hate how NPCs are handled in the Elder Scrolls games. It's like they're all connected to this hive mind or something Creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowstrider Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 As witty as you think that reply is (it's not), at least get the quote in context. http://pc.ign.com/articles/529/529773p1.html IGNPC: Can we expect something similar to the work done on Morrowind, in terms of that style of game experience? Pete Hines: Again, it's early to say, but it wouldn't be a leap of faith to say that we plan to use technologies in development otherwise. You could make some fairly safe leaps of faith that it would be similar in style. We're not going to go away from what it is that we do best. We're not going to suddenly do a top-down isometric Baldur's Gate-style game, because that's not what we do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) My apologies. Correction: Bethesda - Because that's not what we do well. ^_^ Edit: On a more serious note - I can see why most people are worried about Bethesda making Morrowind with guns now. That is what they do, gameplay wise. Edited October 30, 2006 by Darque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowstrider Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 It's still not witty, and still out of context.
