August 21, 200916 yr Author sleepy? nah. bored? yeah. funny how GD long ago Sawyer excitedly exclaimed FO:NV! and how much COMPLETE DEEP DARK BLACK BLEAK NOTHINGNESS has been here since. hopw roewur ne?
August 21, 200916 yr Author so like, when you have news for somebody you think it's like...totally straight...to announce the news and then ditch out for 4 months or more? ****. lemme be the first to not be on your newsfeed. hopw roewur ne?
August 21, 200916 yr Author sheee-it. whatever. WHOEVER did it made a dumbassed move is all i'm saying. hopw roewur ne?
August 21, 200916 yr Six months later, Obsidian announces that they have no idea what Bethesda was smoking. There is no Fallout: New Vegas; they've been working on The Elder Scrolls V: Fear and Loathing. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
August 21, 200916 yr Bethesda announced it, not Obsidian. Are you still reading the NV threads when the occaisonal suggestion/complaint/idle wish gets posted? Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
August 21, 200916 yr Are you still reading the NV threads when the occaisonal suggestion/complaint/idle wish gets posted? Yep. twitter tyme
August 21, 200916 yr Author quick! let's all head over to those threads and pretend to care about something we know nothing about! wheeeee!!! hopw roewur ne?
August 21, 200916 yr Given how tight-lipped Bethesda are on anything to do with the next Elder Scrolls, I'm guessing they wanted to reassure people they had an RPG coming after the Fallout 3 DLC ended.
August 21, 200916 yr Bethesda announced it, not Obsidian. hehehehe This made me laugh out loud. Jerk-face! Seriously, though, someone mentioned that more news could come out after Alpha Protocol shipped. Maybe then the loose lips sinks ships posters will come down and they'll lift the cone of silence. That would be sweet. It would be kind of weird to design the whole game and present it fait accompli. Most developers want to get the presses rolling in order to engender interest. I suppose there's plenty of time to do that if they start in the last quarter of year. When is the game allegedly shipping again? I wonder if this is kind of like the genie scene in PS:T, what with the folks at Obsidian finally getting to work on a Fallout game. :harmless ribbing grin: Can you at least tell us if you guys are hot and heavy into the design yet? Maybe no specifics, but at least that you've got a full team working the design or you're still ramping up and waiting for folks to finish other projects? maybe?
August 21, 200916 yr quick! let's all head over to those threads and pretend to care about something we know nothing about! wheeeee!!! I always have suggestions. It's like my gift.

August 21, 200916 yr This thread got me thinking. 8 million people bought FO 3, most(?) of them [deleted] and shouting best gaem evar!!, and..where are those people? I mean, wouldn't they want to post suggestions and stuff for New Vegas? Are they posting on the Beth forum, or what? Why not on the developer's forum?

August 21, 200916 yr Quick and Dirty answer? the developer doesn't want the traffic and the official forums are over in Bethie's territory.

August 21, 200916 yr when dealing with the hardcore fallout fans, saying less is probably the best course o' action. HA! Good Fun!

August 21, 200916 yr Would rather the developers spent time on the game making it as fun and bug free as possible, in other words doing their jobs and ignoring the fans. J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning

August 21, 200916 yr Sure it does, try to analyze this. You can't please all of the people all of the time.

August 21, 200916 yr I don't think giving out info about your game or even discussing your decisions means that you must give fans the authority over your design. ...And just talking to folks interested in the game and divulging information certainly doesn't do anything to your design at all. I mean, I don't really care if they talk too terribly much about New Vegas anyhow. There are plenty of other discussions here and I'm picking up New Vegas sight unseen. If they discuss more, I'm happy, but it's not like I'm disgruntled by the cone of silence. I can see why they'd stay quiet and I can see why they shouldn't feel compelled to do so. Plus, maybe it's not Obsidian's decision to keep it on the down low? Maybe Bethsoft has something to do with the secracy.
August 21, 200916 yr As we're supposed to limit ourselves to the three 'official' New Vegas threads, I'm going to give this one a proper title and one that broadens the topic a little. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
