Seems like a strange topic. A nuclear disaster that didn't happen.
I mean, don't get me wrong, there was a fire, but it wasn't too bad. The Titanic was worse.

Certainly not on the scale of Chernobyl, and no deaths directly related to it, but at the time this would have been big news (1957) and the scale of the disaster were heavily downplayed with previous incidents being covered up. The fire burned for a number of days with radioactive fallout across the UK and large part of Europe spreading particles that could bring about cancer or the like.

Certainly something you could use to build a good story, it's going to be interesting to see where they take this, government coverup or an act by an outside party. I think the graphic/art style looks interesting and from what we've seen so far makes good use of colours rather than the drab dark tones we see in a lot of games. And the weapons could be interesting, certainly looks like the condition of the weapon will play some sort of part along with crafted weapons. Although they're taking inspiration from many games one they said they'd taken inspiration from was Fallout making me wonder how strong an RPG influence they will have in the game.

I remember one of the scientists saying he found small lumps of uranium in his back garden - :cry:

Meets the Wicker Man (1973).

Love the review for the 2006 version
Is The Wicker Man 2006 funny?
As a horror movie, its a 1 out of 10, but as a Comedy, its at least an 8 out of 10. Nicolas Cage's character had me in stitches in so many places, because his acting in this movie is SO bad its hilarious! The last 30 minutes of the movie is pure gold!

I have actually been inside the Windscale Pile building itself and looked at the fire affected zone myself, its a pretty amazing place to be. The hoist lift they used to traverse the front face of the core came from a decommissioned ww2 aircraft carrier lift i believe! Even stood on top of the core where some of the hatches were that could have been opened to look down at the fire.

Looks an interesting game though, has piqued mu interest.
