Duck and Cover

Sounds like blasphemy to Saint and Rosh. Maybe, but Tactics did have some nice graphics and the editor was by far friendlier than the editor Chris and Feargus released. (Still twitches from making his dream fallout house)....

Anyhow, the engine could be tweaked, new stuff can be added, patches can be made.... Ect, ect. Of course, we could always go 3-d and have full detail for everything. Works out fine.

I mean god-bless the russkies, the Poles and all those East bloc folk who have spent the past seven or so years braking the back of the corrupt USA.

Just what are you getting at here? More rumors, or do you have proof?

Bullshit. BIS has stated numerous times that the internally developed Jefferson engine would be used for FO3.

and why, exactly, would the tactics engine even be considered? I dont' get it....

Sorry Rama, that wouldn't work for many, many reasons. The top ones are that the engine itself belongs to Microforte and not Interplay. Number 2 reason is that the tactics engine does not have built-in speech trees which are going to be requisite for FO3. The FOT isn't bad for a combat game and could be improved with a few tweaks but for an RPG it would be next to impossible to adapt.

I see.... Okay, it was just a thought, failed to see there was more to it. So what engines could we look at for a next FO3?

Something like Neveriwnter nights, the infinite Engine (thought it was on its last laps), the engine from Morrowind? what?

I believe JE has been hinting at the Jefferson engine.

have you been eating paint chips?

Rama, there is no speculation to be made here, absolutely no ambiguity. The engine for FO3 is the Jefferson engine, end of story. This has been mightily confirmed all over BIS.

I think interplay should use sumwhat same graphics as fallout tactics and fallout 2. I hate it when game designers plan the sequel all hyped up on graphics so it can only be played on "state0-of-the-art" computers. Take Command and Conquer Generals for example, i was really excited to go get it until i read the system requirments. It worked on my comp, but it looks like shit cuz i was runnin 128mb's. I was so pissed. I dont play c&c games now. I dont like sellouts who would ditch hardcore fans and leave them in the dark just to make some rich kid happy. If it has the name Fallout 3 on the box, i would care less bout the damn graphics. If anyone wants a 3-d or hyped graphic fallout game, then buy the playstation 2 or xbox version. Dont leave gamers who arent privilegded with riches in the dark. I just bought this comp half year ago. im not gonna buy another or get hundreds of bucks in uprageds for awhile. i cant afford that stuff yet. so hopefully interplay will not be corrupted by brats who say graphics are what a game is all about.

Phew!
