Okie dokie. Let's try reading all the information before we post next time, 'kay?

The most likely explanation I've heard (from Dhruin at RPGDot) is that Troika built a tech demo of FO3, to show whoever was backing their bid for the license. Because Troika needed funding to make a bid.... and so they showed their bidders that they were serious and could produce results, and that they had an engine in place..... this would also fit in with the time frame of these screenshots which would be at least a few months ago, because currently all Troika has been working on is Vampire.

I just hope they manage to make it, I'm not bothered if it's called 'fallout' or not.

I'm with Teatime on this one. I play Fallout because I enjoy it, not because the name. I suppose another way of looking at it is to look at what Fallout was. It was the Spiritual successor to Wasteland. If it turns out Bestheda screws this one up like we're predicting, then maybe Troika can make the spiritual succesor to Fallout.

No where in the first post does it say anything about Troika's PA game being pout on hold. So far as I can tell, that is only a rumor. A rumor that I'm choosing to disregard.

And as for Wolfman Wait, I can only say that Morrowind was a hundred times more fun and replayable than ToEE. Don't get me wrong. I loved ToEE, but I became extremely disinterested in the game after only a a week of playing. While ToEE had a well built engine and fine tuned combat system, the story and atmospere of the game was crap. Not Troika's fault, really. That fault lies with that bastard Gary Gynax.

Nope. We've seen concept art for this game before even Van Buren was canned. They were just making a brand new post-apoc game, but they would probably use the engine for FO3 instead if they got the license.

Funnily, I could say the same about Morrowind, except the combat system.

Ah. Damn. I hope they resume its development soon, then.

Wow. I haven't seen such blatent trolling here at DaC since Pyro got his ass banned. Where the hell are the mods?

/me curses his revoked powers

I'm not entirely sure it's really LlamaGod making all these random hateful posts...He seemed like a good enough guy before DAC died, though he did flame me one time right after he joined. Any way to cross-check the IPs this late in the game?

Then again, I could just ask him in #fallout...But damn am I a lazy bastard.

Eh, he gets on these kicks every once in awhile. It's his Tourette's Syndrome kicking in.

Actually, yes. All mods have that power in PhPBB.

Isn't there like a "Hit him in the face" button somewhere on my keyboard? I suppose you could say "Morrowind" was well done in the idea that it was complete, I wouldn't say it was "Well Done" in that it was fun for most all people. You also have to think that Bestheda caved in to Bill Money and made the game for X-Box causing it to be dumbed down. I think we've had enough of the "Bestheda sucks" argument though.

After playing ToEE - I'd much rather have Troika develop it. And thats without even remembering that Troika is mostly made up of people who WORKED on FO and FO2.

sorry, but it's bull. Morrowind "was "Well Done" in that it was fun for most all people", whether we like it or not - check reviews and stuff.
On the contrary ToEE was a lil bit of disappointment for its monotoneous setting and lacking story - somewhat resembling a dungeon-crawl hack n' slash. Though altogether i think it's rather good and I believe Troika is THE best developer for RPGs, yet I'm waiting for KOTOR2 from Obsidian. (edit: for some unknown reason I mistakenly wrote "Bloodlines" instead of "KOTOR2" in this post, but I've just fixed this stupid blunder <= written so that Sauron's post doesn't look stupid)

Bloodlines is made by Troika though?

oh f*ck... you're totally right and I have been reading the net too seldom, sorry for this idiotic post... so Obsidian is doing KOTOR 2, right? And Bloodlines is obviously from Troika, (which I pointed out as it's most promising aspect at some boards) I don't know what the hell came over me...
So, since it is KOTOR Obsidian is doing, Chris are Feargus are in for some bad ass whipping because - so it appears to me - FO fans seldom have warm feeling for SW ('cept PsychoSniper maybe)

Actualy, I never play'd KOTOR.

No console newer than a SNES, and PC is so shitty it barley plays Craptics muchless something with high graphics requirments.

I naver claimed you did, I just got the impression you likes Star Wars stuff in general - from the manner you spoke of the author of "Fallout"-the book.

PsychoSniper · Post by **PsychoSniper** » Wed Aug 04, 2004 9:23 pm

Yeah, he's one of my fav SW authors.

But if you go for SW books, ignore the New Jedi Order story arc.

It ignroes the canon storyline from the previous books, and has characthers out of characther all over.
Mostly cause lots of it's authors hadnt even read SW books before writng SW books.

Think of it like POS, but for SW novels.

And youda thought my avatar woulda clued ya off
