Ferret Baudoin developers profile at NMA

Post by Mr. Teatime »

<strong>[ -> Interview]</strong>

<b>Ferret Baudoin</b>, who apparantly worked on <b>Van Buren</b>, has filled out a <a href="http://www.nma-fallout.com/article.php? ... developers profile</a> which asks the exact same questions as all the other developer profiles at <a href="http://www.nma-fallout.com">NMA</a>.
<br>
<br><blockquote><b>Any last word to the Fallout fan base?</b>
<br>
<br>Give Betheseda a chance. They may surprise you. And even if it isn’t the same game you were expecting, it could still be something special. I just don’t want the license to go away – too many fond memories.</blockquote>
<br>
<br>There's really not much to say about <a href="http://www.bethsoft.com">Bethesda</a> because they haven't given us any more information other than slightly ominous hints of a multiplatform release and avoidance of the traditional <b>Fallout</b> viewpoint (which, in fairness, might have been a misquote). Still, there's hope that they can prove the cynics wrong and come out with a classic <b>TURN BASED</b>, <b>PC ONLY</b> and <b>TRADITIONAL FALLOUT VIEWPOINT</b> game that is <b>NOTHING LIKE MORROWIND</b> (as many have pointed out, <b>Fallout</b> and <b>Morrowind</b> are on opposite ends of the 'RPG' spectrum).
<br>
<br><b>EDIT by <i>Saint_Proverbius</i>:</b> How come you guys always forget <i>dialogue trees</i> in that list?

Give the Ayatollah a chance. He could surprise you. Okay, unfair comparison, but the thing is that Bethesda has made bad games, so fuck 'em.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

I have to agree with spazmo he has a point that Bethesda has made some shit. I haven't really been too impressed with them in the first place because it just seems like a whole fuck-ton of redundant hack and slash BS.
Ignore my warnings and pay no heed then your live will be ended shortly indeed!

I'm not sure that's entirely fair.

Morrowind suffered from boring gameplay, but was far from simple-hack-and-slash.

I loved that you could create your own spells, items, etc. There were tons of quests, and lots to do. They spent a lot of time and effort on Morrowind. I imagine Fallout will get similiar attention. I just hope gameplay itself is more fun than Morrowind.
