From what I can gather, it's a game about corroded bronze golems.[/img]

Prime example of money milking, kids.

The Jefferson and Jackson projects aren't Fallout 3, from what BIS has previously announced. So our hopes are now in project Van Buren, whatever it is it's not in production yet.

I don't want a Fallout 3 made by BIS.
I hope they never make it, unless the lincese get sold *somehow* to Troika it won't be any good.

*Stealing it might be an interesting option* :twisted:

Hey, why is everyone dissing post FO2 bis?
PS: T was great by almost anyones standards, and maybe IWD was a little to commercial but it was still good.

Well, PS:T is reputedly good, I've never played it myself because it's not really my thing, but regardless, most of the PS:T team has done what most of the Fallout team did. Left IPLY. Plus, they published/built upon Bioware's shitty products.

Uh...it was a lobotomized version of Baldur's Gate, which wasn't much to begin with aside from showing off the Infinity Engine.

Lobotomized, yes.
Bad, no.
Half-Life requires less brains than MOO2. Does that make MOO2 better?

What's there to show off about the infinity engine? It's only "good" thing is how it translated the D&D ruleset to real-time... And many people would argue that that wasn't specially great either...

In IceWind it looked like a painting.
Infinity is currently the greatest 2D engine availabile anywhere.

Poor example. IWD was less than half the game of IWD, solely combat and quite plodding from place to place. It was the logical predecessor of Baldur's Gate, in that aspect.

Still mixing your acid with ferret urine, I see...

True, bad example.
Minority Report requires less brains to enjoy than A Clockwork Orange, both are working with the same idea (future crime fighting). Does that really make one better than the other?
Also, the ambeince of IWD is second only to FO.
Still mixing Jack Black style opinons with amazing wit, I see......
