New Fallout

Great news. Just recently finished Fallout 3. Put well over 45 hours into it. Great game.

Looking forward to this...
 
My cousin came down for bank holiday weekend, loaded up his file and playing away and by-mistake wrote over my file :mad: miffed was not even close to how i felt. Luckily i hadn't played my file for that long, but i find im really OCD when it comes to RPG's and have to check every nook and cranny so i was gutted to see my progress get anihilated :( Ahh well i'll just have to read some spoilers and load up his file instead (he's much further than me) otherwise i wont ever finish it.

OT: Cool location for the new game and hope they make an even better game. One thing i felt a little let down by in F3 was the character stats just didnt seem to matter all that much? Or was that just me?

...at which point it became somewhat spectacular? With Obsidian developing, this will more likely be MUCH closer to the tone of Fallout 1 and 2 (though hopefully closer to 1), which can only be described as a good thing.

I have high hopes for this, even a day after announcement, with no footage or information. This *will* be better than FO3.

Obsidian Entertainment? Creators of critically acclaimed RPGs such as KOTOR2 and Neverwinter Nights 2, and also founded by ex-Black Isle employees, who also happen to be the company that brought us the original two Fallouts as well as Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment? :p

Obsidian is the poor parts of them IMO KOTOR2 and NWN2 were both buggy and unfinished. All the talent which produced the greats have departed, no Obsidian game has been what it could or should have been. That's why Im not holding my breath.

Read the first paragraph of the wiki link I had in my post, Obsidian's head honchos were Black Isle, so they are the people who have created some modern greats. I won't deny KOTOR2 and NWN2 weren't buggy, but the company's pedigree means this new game could be a fantastic RPG, even if it is buggy!

I don't doubt Black Isle created or were involved in some greats, however Obsidian have turned out nothing spectacular in thier recent history, that's why I'm more sceptical, both the two named titles were buggy, and the stories were lacking compared to thier forebears (with Kotor2 having the ending almost completely trashed and a lot of content cut). Whilst it could be great, I think most of the great talent from Black Isle have left for other pastures, which is why I'm not holding my breath. Pedigree is nothing if the proof isn't in the pudding, and Im pretty sure the main original creators of Fallout have departed long ago.
