The radio stations seem to scream GTA, someone must be a big fan. The problem with it is it destroys the idea that most communities in the waste zone are isolated, some having little to no contact with the rest of the world, like Shady Sands and Modoc. It be one thing if the signals you pick up...

It has been mentioned in passing by the previewers, but they could not try it out in the time allotted. My guess is that since many other things are similar that this to will be like Oblivion housing. I don't know if it has been stated that sleeping will heal damage, I only heard about the...

Sounds like they have a problem of staying on message, maybe the suits want to push the idea that Fallout 3 is like Oblivion to up sales, while Todd and his ilk push the differences to show they aren't a one trick pony?

Thats very true, but its funny how many previewers are jumping up and down at the thought of it being Oblivion with guns. The scarier thing would be if it was more dumbed down than Oblivion. Of course there would be still be people around to praise it as Perfection!:crazy:

Oblivion really ham stringed your ability as a thief as you couldn't sell anything unless you joined the thieves guild, not that anything you stole was really worth any money or was there any real point.

Why keep up this game of Fallout 3 is not oblivion with guns, but it is, line? Most of the people that the hype is targeting are elated that might be the same as oblivion. The house idea really breaks the idea that people are barely eking out an exist in a basted wasteland, just barely...

Of all the things they talk about the hand holding really detracts from the game. The idea that people have to think about what they can do in a game has become passé. Can't they let you try the game without having the feeling one of Bethesda's goons is watching over your shoulder as you play...

Didn't see this thread before I started posting so ablated Hello.

This argument of first person equals new, innovative, and the future of gaming is silly, first person has been around since wolfenstein. As I remember it for a while game makers were moving away from first person and copying games like Tomb Raider with the third person over the shoulder style...

Gee, 1,000 caps for functioning robot sound like a steal, unless its like that robot part the guy wanted to sell you in Fallout Tactics. Tinker Joe "Careful son when you touch that end she vibrates, heehaw!!" But seriously I wonder how they'll handle stuff like this and other party members...

Sorry Ausir I should have been clearer, I was making two separate points and didn't mean it to look like I was saying Van Buren was Canon. Only that Bethesda would ultimately decide what was canon. On the topic of consoles, one of problems is the limitations of the medium, there are only...

Weren't the commies you fought in the tech demo for Van Buren Americans insurgents? Whatever, they're gonna change the back story to fit their game, canon be damned! Good lord horst, those face are bizarre, the people look like they were gassed by the Joker in the first batman movie. :yuck:

Amongst the information the reference to communists and or communist Chinese forces, keeps reappearing. Is this just a little easter egg or an actual faction they have planned? My interpretation from Fallout 1 and 2 was the while the Chinese had blasted the US into the stone age, while we had...
