June 19, 201015 yr Author Driving was put in, but there were other changes? Or do you mean the real time combat? I mean expansion of the system to include creation of super mutant, ghoul and robot characters, new perks and traits including racial ones, etc. Heavier armors having skill penalties to Sneak and manual skills.

Yes, for all the complaining I've heard about tactics (mostly legitimate regarding style, tone, and canon consistency), there were a number of basic evolutionary changes to the system that most would agree were improvements. But for all of us, there will come a point where it does matter, and it's gonna be like having a miniature suit-head shoving sticks up your butt all the time. - Tigranes
June 19, 201015 yr Author Yeah, style, tone, consistency with canon and mission design weren't great, but the actual game mechanics were pretty good. It's a great shame that it did not allow to create dialogue trees, as then it would be perfect for all Fallout mods. In all aspects other than this it was superior to the Fallout 1 and 2 in terms of engine and gameplay mechanics.

June 19, 201015 yr I thought this was pretty much vaporware? 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. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "
June 19, 201015 yr Author We'll see. Perhaps they came to some settlement with Bethesda. Pillars of Eternity Wiki * The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Wasteland 2 Wiki

In all aspects other than this it was superior to the Fallout 1 and 2 in terms of engine and gameplay mechanics. If they could combine the system improvements in tactics, SWTOR's mmo dialogue system, with a large sandbox mmo, I think they'd have a real winner on their hands. But the cynic in me says that if that happened, Herve would step in and **** all over everything, like the out of control fecophiliac he is. He'd probably rent out ingame billboards to mountain dew, doritos, and taco bell, and turn the whole thing into a nightmarish F2P Korean grindfest.

June 20, 201015 yr Author FOOL thread in Beth forum was closed by Gstaff. Looks like there's no settlement after all. Pillars of Eternity Wiki * The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Wasteland 2 Wiki
June 20, 201015 yr FOOL thread in Beth forum was closed by Gstaff. Looks like there's no settlement after all. Seemed pretty obvious since the beginning to me.
June 20, 201015 yr Author Seemed likely to me at first, but then I was not sure because it took Beth so long to close the forum thread, they usually take action quickly on this kind of stuff. Plus they did not have the FOOL news at Planet Fallout, which is sponsored by Bethesda, taken down. Pillars of Eternity Wiki * The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Wasteland 2 Wiki
June 21, 201015 yr New pretty post-apocalyptic cover for Fallout Online: Cover to Marvel Comics' Thunderbolts #128 by Francesco Mattina Edited June 21, 201015 yr by Amentep I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
June 21, 201015 yr Concept art looks pretty nice. But I have my doubts this will ever be finished, unless some investors jump in. IIRC herve had 20mil put towards the project between the FO sale to beth and some investors I read about a yr+ ago to work on it. So if they don't go crazy they should be able to put some kind of working mmorpg out. However how much of that is getting burned up in legal fees and mis-management is anyones guess.

June 21, 201015 yr Honestly I feel bad for Chris Taylor. The guy certainly deserves to work on another Fallout title, and from the looks of it (or at least, from my rather pessimistic pov), this title won't come out at all.

Chris is a awesome guy. We still talk from time to time I'd love to see obsidian pick him up if this falls though and he ends up on the market. He was actually the lead dev on LotR:O before the publisher/dev house swtich mid way though its development. He could certainly help with the next FO title after vegas IMO as he knows the material well.

June 22, 201015 yr Author I think he might have some grudges with Feargus back from Black Isle days (he was actually kicked out of BIS during FO2 development), so him joining Obsidian is unlikely. Maybe inXile? Pillars of Eternity Wiki * The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Wasteland 2 Wiki

June 22, 201015 yr Author http://www.gog.com/en/editorial/fallout_we...t_2_editorial/2 Also venturing out into the wasteland was designer Chris Taylor, though his departure was fundamentally different from Cain's. "I didn't leave Black Isle Studios, I was kicked out," Taylor says bluntly. "For good reason, so I don't hold it against anybody--except, maybe, myself. I did have a chance to go work on another dream project of mine, so it worked out in the end." Pillars of Eternity Wiki * The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Wasteland 2 Wiki
June 22, 201015 yr Didn't know that. I'd be curious to know the reasons. Same reason ferret was let go I am sure. Personality conflict with fergus and the other powers that be. May have to be with his ability (or lack of) but considering the titles Chris has worked on I find that less likely. However if that was the case hes certainly beefed up his resume since so perhaps fergus would reconsider. However if it was due to personality clashes odds less that would be fixable. Some folks just cant work together due to vastly different mind sets.

June 22, 201015 yr Author Most likely with Feargus, since he didn't seem to have a beef with other Interplay higher-ups, considering he just moved to a different division of IPLY (14 Degrees East). Pillars of Eternity Wiki * The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Wasteland 2 Wiki
July 2, 201015 yr If I am not mistaken, he wasn't the only one with a 'lil beef with Feargus. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
July 2, 201015 yr I just skimmed through the thread but I couldn't see much said on Herve Caen, a name that, in my mind, appears new. Could someone jog my memory or give me the lowdown? Why the hate? Also, thanks for the link. I'm a fan of the pre-FO3 Fallout games, even though I have little faith in MMOs. This could pretty much go either way, although I'm not keeping my hopes up. The herpa derp FO3 crew will no doubt be all "But it's not Bethesda, the original fallout devs, lol" and the Fallout crew is likely wary due to the extreme change of focus.
