I am sure several people have already seen it, but for those who still don't know, Bethesda is to develop and publish Fallout 3.

My personal opinion on this matter is pretty low. I have a very low opinion of Bethesda for Pirates of the Carribean (which proved they are a lousy publisher) and Morrowind (which proved they are no better developer) so I am rather upset that the Fallout license will be tainted by the likes of them. How much would you bet they'll make Fallout a 3rd person real time action-rpg?

5 bunny carrots.

i think of all the dev companies out there, bethesda is one of about 3 or 4 that could do it justice. they'll have to change the way they do games, but i think they'll s-can all the work that was done at black isle and start over. i also think it'll be 1st person or over the shoulder like mw. probably rt with pause. my biggest concern with them, based on mw (which is the only game of theirs i've played) is whether they can improve the dialogue to what it should be. otherwise i think they'll keep the good stuff and improve on the overall theme. they've got good people, and one of the bethsoft devs said already that "this won't be mw with guns". which is a good thing.

I dont care wich point of view I get, I just want to be able to do all the stuff I did in fallout 1&2. Like placing dynamite in the pockets of a guard using pickpocket. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I'm not too sure about what to think of this, I just hope they can keep the fallout feel of freedom.

It will be a real-time, first person action-RPG as confirmed by Bethesda.

hmm, I don't like first person RPG's. I find the fighting so boring in it.

Can you post a link to that please, DATD. I havent read anywhere that they confirmed it would be like that. Thank you.

Sorry, Rythok. Last time I tried to get to Bethsoft forums, I got 'Page not found'. Probably my connection going berzerk.

FPS?

Its ruined.

i hope this is too early for bethesda to announce the final concept for F3. i know for a fact that i detest first person perspective; not just due to preference, i happen to be one of the 'lamers' who can't play FPS without having nausea.

i would love for F3 to be back in the old format as 1, 2 & tactics. if they want to emulate larian in terms of 2D sprites to 3D models, well that's still ok in my book. i just hope it won't end up as a Commandos clone, or Deus-Ex clone, or worse; recycle morrowind 3D engine & skin it with fallout motifs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />

now i'm wondering; what will F3 be about? i mean apart from furthering the saga. technically, how will the gameplay be evolved? will it stay the same, maybe with slight improvement/change (just like larians tinkering with BD) or will it be drastically different?

i hope they won't botch up the beautiful SPECIAL system.

Morrowind engine as Fallout! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> * Dies *

bethsoft have not said it's going to be fps. they also bought the license for the special system, which was seperate from the fo license. they have said they probably won't do a top down iso view since that's not thier style.

as noted, it is *way* to early to tell what they will do. in my opinion, look for 1st person/over the shoulder toggle and rt w/pause. that's as much a guess as anyone else's at this point, but knowing them that's what i'd say they'd do. remember, they want to use special, and that's going to be tough without at least having the underlying system be tb.

Well the more I think about it, the more I believe it's not such a bad thing if the game would go in 1st person. I mean, apart from the turnbased combat all the fallout things could easily make it into a 1st person point of view.

if it's similar to KOTOR, then i may not mind so much but normally that will mean the game will be very high-paced as opposed to fallout's tactical (take all the time u want) pace.

anyway, here's an article from IGN. it's an interview.

My LEAST favorite quotes.
