Could you (and anyone else here) post some interesting constructive stuff over there? Storyline stuff, setting stuff, combat system ideas, improvements over FO1&2 you want, etc. It's just, you know, one more Chaos_One post demanding Isometric graphics, and my heads gonna explode.

Chaos_One is a troll everywhere under any screen name, so I wouldn't take him/her/it seriously under any circumstances. His primary purpose seems to be sowing dissent in every community he visits and he often succeeds because people don't ignore him. If you think he's representative of the Fallout Community, well, you need more help than I can offer.

As it's been stated before : The FO community is kind of hard to represent.

I don't take him seriously, I understand he's a troll, and I've called him a troll.

The problem is that he's responsible for most of the posts on the elderscrolls boards. Posts in which he lets everyone know he speaks for the FO community. :p He posted literally five or six hundred posts within the first week or so after Bethesda's (really Interplay's) announcement. It doesn't matter whether he really represents the community, or not. Like it or not, he (along with one or two similar trolls) became the face of the Fallout community for many elder scrolls fans. And since no one else seems to be very willing to post over there, that's probably how things are gonna stay. Which will probably just ensure that Fallout fans have next to no impact on the feel of FO3.

I can count on one hand the number of Fallout fans who registered, and did anything more than bash morrownd, bethesda, ES fans, and anyone who even hazarded a guess at how Bethesda might do FO3 different from the first two games. It's looking more and more like that's how it's gonna stay. Too bad.

The bethesda devs know that the fallout communities are on here and NMA, I see them browsing both forums and as more information is revealed they'll post on here more often.

As long as they don't mind the odd flame war.

I've wanted to use that smiley since the day I saw it.

This statement implies that the Bethesda devs are just as stupid as the people who post on their boards.

no it doesn't, for it has 'probably' in it, so it just could imply. Anyway Brillo wrote it apparently being unaware of the fact that Bath devs are more familiar with FO community than he had thought. Yay, and then came MrSmiley and everybody felt better. We'll see what it actually brings though.

That is by far the best smiley I've ever seen.

We need to reimplement the goatse smiley.

Only you have the power to, Tea.

Maybe we should implement a Susan snmiley too?

Not even your mom'd want that.
Unless it was implemented on you.
With a sledgehammer to the face.
