Fallout 3 - More Revealed In Community Q&A, Screenshots

Statix - 530 days 12 hours ago

It sounds like you're just LOOKING for stuff to complain about. Being able to customize your character's appearance is a negative now? Ammo not counting towards the weight limit is simply a nonissue; there probably are ammo count limits anyway, just not based on weight.

my complaints arrive from the loss of freedom, like if they put a cap on ammo, thats stupid, or me not being able to kill important NPC's and children, also stupid, seeing as the children if Fallout 1-2 were annoying as hell, see this bothers me because if NPCs can't be killed then that mean's when you talk to them they trigger an event, meaning you have to follow a set path to get to your destination, this is stupid, if you replay fallout you can beat the game under a half an hour if you know where to go, this fallout game is just gonna give you the illusion of freedom instead of actually giving you freedom, if I want to talk to nobody and explore on my own and find whatever it is I'm searching for, then I should be able to, I don't want to follow some quest, and like original fallout there should be different ways you can find out about the object your searching for. well anyway I'm still looking forward to this game don't get me wrong, but unless it blows me away completely I'm just going to dismiss it as Bethesda ruining another PC franchise while reaching out to consoles.
edit: I have nothing wrong with character creation, just without online it's pointless and also if it's anything like oblivion you create a character that you think looks alright at the start but regret you made him throughout the rest of the game, I'm just saying instead of making customization just give me set people, oh and also you can still play as a woman right? just wondering all the screens have guys and for the 3 or 4 female fallout fans out there that might dissapoint.

I believe it's supposed to be both, like Oblivion but the third person view is actually usable this time.

Awesome. The third person view in oblivion was useless. Trust me, I tried.

The third person perspective looks much better in these new screenshots. Before the ones they showed off looked pretty bad to tell the truth (like really bad) but these screen looks much better. Can't wait for the game to come out. Environment looks more gritty as well instead of just the destitute look.

Where you guys is coming from. It's like if they announced that Dues Ex 3 would have unified ammo and that you couldn't kill important characters yourself (i would hate both idea's). I can now see where you guys are coming from. For you it's a formula that's damn there perfect and all you need to do is through in different graphics, update the story and add a bit more variety and the sequel is done.

While the game is gonna be good, fallout fans like me and MK here are gonna be dissapointed, sure the game may look great to you, but to the oldschool fans it's all these little things they changed that bring the game down, like non killable children and important NPC's, yeah, nuff said If I know they're not supposed to die then I'll protect them, but when I know for a fact they can't be killed it just get's rid of my freedom, I have other gripes but I'm too lazy and just read the first post. While my hopes for this game were up recently after reading this interview, they were kicked down many notches. Congrats Bethesdsa on making a game everyone will think is amazing except for us Fallout fans, I remember when Oblivion came out and everybody was ranting about how good it was, then months later opinions changed and people saw what a hollow shell Oblivion was.

" nuff said If I know they're not supposed to die then I'll protect them, but when I know for a fact they can't be killed ..."

I think you missed this part:

" But we're careful not to overpower them, so for them to survive, you need to manage them a bit. You'll want to give them stimpaks to heal, and better weapons, etc."

So yes, they can die, you just can't kill them yourself.

The problem with making a game to please only the Fallout fans is that the game simply would not be as successful since it wouldn't appeal to the more mainstream gamer. If you look at Oblivion, it had great sales (I believe) and it was made to be more streamlined compared to Morrowind so they're definitely going to try and repeat that with Fallout 3. So, sorry MK. Isn't there an unofficial Fallout 3 game being worked on though by people in the community?

xionpunk, I try to stay positive but this interview was really disappointing. At least Todd was honest though.

mepsipax, as always spot on. Truly agree my friend.

Gorgon, what mepsipax said is about children and important NPCs. They won't die. Children because they're children and Bethesda is a p**** (Though I can understand that they don't want an AO) and important NPC won't die because it will break the game (Just like Morrowind where killing important NPCs brought a message saying you killed an important character and can't continue the story.
What you read in the interview is about the companion who can be killed by the player.

HeroOfCows, you have valid points. Oblivion indeed sold well and was well recieved by non-ElderScrolls fans and casual gamers but I personally hated it. It was a good game but felt like an insult to a fan of Morrowind and Daggerfall.
Same goes to Fallout 3 but at least Bethesda is not the original dev so I can give them a free pass to some degree. That's why Fallout 3 is my most anticipated game of E3 after all of this.

In the US, Hispanic is pretty much a nice way of saying Mexican. Yes it applies to many peoples in Central and South America, but really, it's just Mexicans. No hates please!

No hates, man, I just find it funny. But I guess stereotyping people like that doesn't really fall too well this side of the pond at least. I also think that black american people probably (at least I wouldn't) find it too funny beying called an African American, since they weren't born in Africa in the first place. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

:)
