Pop Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 It can't really be understated how big of a splash Fallout 3 made. After Bioshock it was maybe the game that normal people heard about. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

RPGmasterBoo Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) It can't really be understated how big of a splash Fallout 3 made. After Bioshock it was maybe the game that normal people heard about. Do we need those kind of splashes? I was happy in nerd land... I'm warming up to this game. And since I was never a Fallout enthusiast to begin with, that's saying something. The visual resemblance to Fallout 3 is off putting (brings back bad memories,it does), but the premise is wacky enough to catch my attention. Might be time to restart my anti romance crusade again. Instead give us a brothel! Make all the hoes suitably dirty, and the action at least implicitly hot. Kama Sutra Master FTW! Question: who are the writers behind Fallout: NV and what's their previous work?

Ah; that makes a bit more sense. PC Gamer is owned by Future Publishing, which owns a whole lot of different specialty publications. I don't see any obvious connections to Gannett, and it isn't exactly uncommon for newspaper writers to crib leads from trade magazines. But there could also be some cross-promotion arrangements between the two companies, I suppose.

The story was done by the time he joined the NV project, I wouldn't bet on it. Its mix of role-playing and first-person shooting game elements, as well as its elaborate and expansive story, earned Fallout 3 critical praise and several game-of-the-year awards. The game has sold about 4 million copies.Was I playing the pre-alpha version? Mine had a crappy short copy/paste story.

Spider Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Didn't Avellone also work on Thorn? And Sawyer did writing and design for Gauntlet. Iirc, they ended up cutting a lot of his stuff out of the game though. I also think Sawyer did some work for IWD1.
Ausir Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 The story was done by the time he joined the NV project, I wouldn't bet on it. Mostly yes, but he also had influcence on the story as Obsidian's creative director even before he joined the team full-time, and he will be writing at least some of the dialogues.

Story-wise, I'd say these are the most important people, Sawyer as lead designer and project director, Gonzalez as lead creative designer, and Avellone as senior designer and Obsidian's creative director.

The trailer is the only thing I can point to to answer your question, can't say much more than that. Josh and John Gonzalez (our creative lead and master of all things plot-related) put together a great story with some fun new mechanics, and they know their Fallout. Yea, my bad.
