First Fallout Enforcer petition

Post by Saint_Proverbius »

<strong>[Community -> Update]</strong>

Didn't take long, but you knew it was coming. <b>BlackDog</b> has created a <A href="http://www.petitiononline.com/iplyfbos/">petition</a> protesting the lack of canon in <A href="http://www.interplay.com/games/product. ... 3">Fallout Enforcer</a>. Here's what it says:
<br>
<br><blockquote><b>To: Interplay Entertainment Corporation</b>
<br>
<br>This petition is to get Interplay to either change the name and characters in their upcoming PS2 and X-Box game Fallout: The Brotherhood of Steel to something else other than the Brotherhood of Steel OR to at least keep the group The Brotherhood of Steel as close to canon as they can from the previous two Fallout RPG games.
<br>
<br>The reason? Mainly because The Brotherhood of Steel carried around such high powered weapons as gattling guns, pulse rifles, plasma rifles, laser rifles and missile launchers. They were encased in power armor. Granted so far we have only seen a logo and 6 screenshots, but so far they are NOTHING like anything the Brotherhood of Steel stood for in the first Fallout game. They prided technology and keeping it away from the masses as to avert more nuclear holocaust. They set out to destroy the super mutants and occasionally traded with the rest of the people of the wastelands.
<br>
<br>What they did NOT do was go running around in leather armor looking like something out of mad max. The Brotherhood of Steel is a civilized, organized group. Not some uncivilized tribal renegades wandering around with poor weapons and armor.
<br>
<br>So basically, if Interplay values any future revenues from this game - they should either change the name of the game OR anything having to do with the Brotherhood of Steel should be kept canon to the rest of the Fallout RPG games (Fallout 1 and Fallout 2)</blockquote>
<br>
<br>You forgot to mention they <A href="http://www.interplay.com/dbimages/produ ... f">screwed up the BOS symbol too</a>!

Damn yeah. Shoulda put that too! But yeah...I'm a huge BoS fan - of the actual group from the first game. So much that I even named my online Guild after them...so suffice it to say, yeah...I'm peeved at Interplay.

Heck, we don't really have anything against BIS (other then cranking out a bunch of crappy titles lately they didn't do anything really bad)...

It's IPLY we're against really, and I'm guessing their HQ is somewhere elsem though I might be wrong...
