OP here.....FO3 is gonna be lame as shit...I was wrong When Bethesda talks about "Oh we loved the originals, we're hardcore fans," I have to kinda wonder where their "passion" went. I watched the new videos for it last night...it really is Oblivion with guns. Its gonna be so vacu...

Ahh.....sheer wit. Surprising to find gamers for once with a brain. Kids these days....

Yeah, BethSoft will get *clever* and make potions into FEV virii(YEAH, VIRII) contained in glass bottles. Stimpacks will be "stim-bottles." They'll scrap the SPECIAL system and use it as a marketing tool. "Always wanted to play that SPECIAL game, but without the fuss of actually THINK...

Yeah yeah yeah, if that happens I'll run my face into a wall. I don't want an Oblivion Fallout as much as you guys. Isn't it possible that the game will be good though, at all?

Hey I didn't say a *good* RPG developer, but I did include that Emil is on the project and offers some hope. Just trying to point out what potential is there.

I've constructed this hypothesis with a sprinkle of optimism, here it is- Oblivion is an FPS because TES is Bethesda's baby. Really, they can do whatever the hell they want with this IP, because it's wholly theirs. FOBOS was crap because FO belonged( :| ) to Interplay. They were desperate for money,...

For luck you can go around collecting four-leaf clovers and make a luck potion with alchemy. This is how BethSoft will make this a really NEAT feature!

Ok, just throwing it out there as an idea. I'm glad you didn't lie or anything. The "as many hits as you get" idea is probably ridiculous and I didn't fully think that through. Not a Scarface fanboy either. What else do you think could be done to better the drug implement though(if it's ev...

Oh yeah, I think the FO3 drug lifestyle could definitely be fun; having quests exclusive to its use, and being shut off from other(squeaky-clean) quests. Before, with temporary cheats, I was thinking along the lines of the cliched Scarface ending. Temporarily, comprehension and recognition of your H...

Going along with the notion of scarce ammo, how about bayonetted weapons? I can't think of a game that has these used well; FO3 would be alright in including them. They wouldn't be of the traditional type i.e. Garands, 03 Springfields, or SKS'. How about home-made bayonets? Rusty knifes wrapped with...

How about drugs acting as temporary cheats? REAL cheats...not a temporary booster

In Oblivion(just wait...), there was a quest for this townsperson and he was positively paranoid. He had you spy on people that did nothing at all, and when you returned to him, you could tell the truth or lie about the one you watched; you got paid regardless. This was the fault of the quest, but a...

Browning Hi-Power, Krag 98, Mosin M44, weapons with a desperate feel and look to them, as if they could break or fall apart at any moment. However, they perform quite well otherwise. The above don't necessarily equal desperation, but I think they might fit well within the FO universe.

agreed. if fallout tries too hard to become gritty the end result is boring ol' new reno, with prostitutes and drug dealers on every corner. aim for adult, but not too adult. :M Yeah, one hallmark of a great game is balance See: Oblivion and FOBOS *sprints out the door, gets hit by semi with KARMA ...

That sounds pretty damn funny....oops on the double post... eh wait a minute here

This is the very archetype of ideas that look good in feature naming threads on the internets but which no one really wants to be implemented once they realise their implications. Ah screw the technology, I wanna be able to do all of that. The pathfinding AI wouldn't have to be brilliant anyways; o...

you're such a shit bag, all the negative effects of addiction but what about the good times? waking up next to strippers, police chases, fucking your best friend's mom... Oh yeah, they'd have to justly implement the benefits. Probably something like brilliant dialogue choices(we'd be talking about ...

How about better implementation of addiction? Like high gambling skill = higher predisposition to gambling addiction. Or when you rest, you wake up to find yourself, for some reason, at a slot machine or hunched over someone while holding a knife in order to steal for some jet. I think in including...
