And it has come to pass: Fallout 3 designed by LARPers

[ Community -> Update ]

I knew it was too good to be true. It appears that LARPers have infiltrated the Fallout 3 development team. <a href="http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index ... 2451&st=20" target="_self">Here's the proof</a>:<blockquote>With that definition, I find that the best environment for roleplaying
is a live-action game, because it really immerses a player in the
character - you move, speak, dress, and think like your character
constantly for the entire game. Also, the high player-to-storyteller
ratio in LARPs generally means that good players are encouraged to
create plotlines and drama to entertain and engage other players as
additional storylines auxiliary to the central plots brought in by the
storytellers. And when you've got about 20 people creating their own
stories and intertwining with stories others are creating, you can end
up with an amazing experience that no one GM could have created on
their own.</blockquote>It gets pretty depraved after that, so I'll spare you the rest. Suffice to say, filth such as, "As I grow into the character, I find myself exploring new perspectives
and gaining new (real-world!) skills and insights into my own life from
my characters" and "[characters include] a pathetic love-sick swashbuckler, a steely neo-tribal urban shaman, a
rambunctious and good-natured barbarian, a deeply deranged and
frighteningly perceptive child, a world-wandering martial philosopher,
and a slick-talking metropolitan with an eye for adventure" is involved.For those who don't know, LARPing is a type of fetish that contributed significantly to the rise and fall of communism. It usually involves goths, men in dresses, Poland and/or Latvia, and, unfortunately for normal people, cameras and an internet connection.
As always, the official stance of Duck and Cover is to duck and cover if you see a LARP in progress. They are most likely involved in some heathen ritual, and it's best not to get involved. If you are discovered, it is probable that you will end up becoming part of the story and unable to escape until the last LARPer has collapsed unconvincingly clutching a cardboard sword to his skinny asthmatic chest.As for Fallout 3? Dooooooomed!

Yeah, here is only another dev, who proofs us the theory of Firstperson/Thirdperson with realtime. It would be interesting to know on which position he is working, i couldn`t find it out. So we gotta be realistic, it`ll be Obllivion with guns.

Good to have you back Teatime.

edit: He is a Quest designer.

So role playing is action? What a retard.
That are the results of hiring TES modders and other industrial newbies.
Bethesda has collected as much dumbasses as possible for the Fallout team.

Sounds like FO3 could at least be a hilarious piece of trash. Then again, it probably won't even be good trash :/
