Magnum Opus Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Maybe that'll be one of the side quests in F3: find out who stole all of the missing top soil and get them to bring it back, so's people can plant gardens an' stuff, and so liven up an otherwise bleak landscape. That'd rawk.
Pop Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) Maybe there is radiation all over the place in the top soil or something. Or maybe there isn't any top soil anymore because all the construction companies used it back before the bombs went off, so now all the top soil is under all the houses and buildings, and plants can't grow under buildings and houses. Nature has easily reclaimed the land previously devastated by Chernobyl. And that was only about, what, 20 years ago? Totally. All those giant mutated scorpions are running all over the place, and even now, the survivors are turning into green, lumpy-skinned immortal mutants. What I'm saying is, we should be expecting realism down to the specific details of this post-nuclear environment.

mkreku Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Now that I think about it, Bethesda really should have taken a long, hard look at STALKER when designing Fallout 3. That world is absolutely fantastic as a post-nuclear example. Actually, they could have ripped off the weapon sounds and monster designs and Russian guys playing guitar around campfires too..

Gorth Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Now that I think about it, Bethesda really should have taken a long, hard look at STALKER when designing Fallout 3. That world is absolutely fantastic as a post-nuclear example. Actually, they could have ripped off the weapon sounds and monster designs and Russian guys playing guitar around campfires too.. In many ways, I found STALKER too hard for my liking (I haven't finished it yet, currently at Pripyat), but it sure has a lot going for it. Not at least it's post apocalyptic athmosphere, even if it is just on a local scale Which reminds me, I better go take a look at that "Clear Sky" prequel. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Morgoth Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 If Fallout3 is just going to be minimally reminiscent to STALKER, then.... Apropos: Is it already decided whether it will have a story, yes? I want more than just wander around bloomy soil...ya know. Rain makes everything better.
Pop Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Are you suggesting that STALKER had a narrative? Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Morgoth Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Yeah, sure. Find drunken dude A, get to drunken dude B, and so forth... I mean that was pretty frucking cool, don't you think? Rain makes everything better.
Gorgon Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I just played through stalker, was all jazzed up about the climax at Prepryat and Chernobyl saving the world and all that and then my character decides on a whim that he would rather have a rain of gold coins. Bit of an odd experience. Nice atmosphere though. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Janmanden Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Well, If it doesn't look like crap it's not Fallout. And.. the screenshots looks like crap, so I guess it must be Fallout. (Signatures: disabled)
thepixiesrock Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Well, If it doesn't look like crap it's not Fallout. And.. the screenshots looks like crap, so I guess it must be Fallout.

Xard Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 WHAT THE **** MAN GO DIE IN FIRE ...No wait, that wasn't good enough. And Fallouts art direction was awesome. Awesome How can it be a no ob build.

Morgoth Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I'm less worried about the graphics and more worried about...ya know, it's from Bethesda. Rain makes everything better.

Dark_Raven Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 FTL I have been saying for the longest time. Now things are being proven correct in my assumptions. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Pop Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 So Todd Howard's given some updates. - Apparently the game is finished, as far as "expanding the borders of the game" go. It still needs to be filled in and polished. - The game is twice as long as they had originally planned. As big as Oblivion, 20 hour main plotline, 100 hours or so all told. - 1 NPC companion at any one time, not including Dogmeat. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

mkreku Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 As big as Oblivion? That sounds good. I thought Oblivion was a bit undersized, but they've thtreatened to make Fallout 3 even less big! Good to know it's at least equal in size Don't really care about companions though. I usually solo Fallout's. Much more fun that way. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Pop Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Oh, also, forgot to say, they've expanded the possible endings from 8-12 to, uh, over 200. I'm sure there's something going unspoken there. Possibly a hair-splitting definition of "ending", possibly a serious case of Molyneuxsis. Edited March 26, 2008 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Possibly a hair-splitting definition of "ending", possibly a serious case of Molyneuxsis. If it's something like the slide shows at the end of NWN2 or Arcanum, it wouldn't be hard for the possible combinations to total over 200. Is that the kind of thing they mean?
