No, I'm not calling out the forumer.
This thread is about Fallout like this:
So to this day I haven't played an rpg that I enjoyed as much as Fallout 1 and 2 Fallout Tactics was okay and we're going to go ahead and forget that "Brotherhood of Steel" game for Playstation ever existed.
So now, 9 years after the last true installment of the series and 5 years after the Black Isle development team was laid off - and the Van Buren project (the tentative Fallout 3) was declared defunct - why am I starting this thread?
Oh I think you know.
Bethesda, the company that has brought us the Elder Scrolls games, purchased the rights to Fallout 3 so many years ago, and began developing Fallout 3 from scratch, using no pieces of the Van Buren project at all. Last year, having honestly given up hope of actually seeing a Fallout 3 due to the length of time since anytyhing worth while came out for the series and waning interest in the franchise, I came across this and promptly shit my pants:
Fallout 3 teaser
People complained that the graphics in that teaser looked shitty, etc. etc., but true fans of the games cared not and interest was reborn. I personally have played through both Fallout 1 and 2 at least once each just since seeing that teaser.
Earlier this month, Bethesda released this baby:
Fallout 3 trailer
So that pretty much looks incredible and that scene at the end with the main character walking with Dogmeat makes me want to flip out. What do you guys think? Who else is a crazed fan for these games?
Update: Oh also, here is a gameplay footage video from E3, looks pretty awesome:

Update 2: Another sweet gameplay video here: http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/20175
Update 3: Here is a series of videos that are essentially the exact same demo that was given at Pax, for those of you who couldn't make it.
Part 1
Part 2
(Everyone's comment at pax when the sheriff says "Fuckin' end ya" was "Fuck a ninja?!")

definitely a day 1 purchase, but i'm torn on what version to get
I've been playing Fallout 2 for the first time ever
Am I screwed for losing Sulik early on? I won that big fight with the people who live underground near Modoc, but I guess he died during the fight since I haven't seen him since. Should I start the game over entirely or can I get new party members?
Right now it's just Vic and me, and he's a fat tub of fucking lard.
but 3 looks hella rad
t lostwords: get the collector's edition
save those pennies
Dude, fuck Sulik. If you have high enough charisma/speech you can marry the daughter of the guy who owns the slaughterhouse in Modoc. Then you can pimp her out for extra cash later, but if you want a good fighter, go to Vault City and get Cassidy. Also, go to Broken Hills and get Marcus.

Fandyien: There are other people you can pick up - depends on how much of a party-heavy game you're playing. I usually played a guy with 8-10 charisma, so I had room for 4-5 people in my party.
If you can handle combat on your own then don't worry too much about it.
Looks incredible.
With Pipboy 3000 clock that you can wear on your arm?
Shit yes!
Thanks.
I'm actually playing a character with low charisma, but high strength/perception/agility. Vic and I have been able to handle most combat thus far (though clearing the irradiated village has proven to be a challenge). Right now I'm focussing on getting metal armor and some decent shotguns, since I'm still using pretty shitty weapons.
My question is, can I get Cassidy/Marcus/whatever with a CHA of like 7 or 8? I can't remember exactly what my CHA is, but it's not particularly good.
always meant to go back and play the hell out of these games
those people can fuck right off
but i'm still pretty stoked for this
sulik is awesome. he's useful throughout the game, and hilarious too
never
never ever give marcus anything with burst or area effect (rockets). he will kill you
FOOT SWEATERS
it's so sexy
Last thing you need is Enclave motherfuckers scaling difficulty with you.
I don't expect Bethesda to make a perfect replica of the Fallout setting as it was in Fallout 1 or 2, but I still think they'll do a damn fine job. Hell, Fallout 2 wasn't a perfect replica of the setting of Fallout 1, with all the injokes and shit.
so stoked for this
Yeah. If it does, I'm not gonna buy it.
How are they doing the combat? I saw a screenshot with the "select the body part" thing like in the older games, but isn't it real time? How do they make that work?
also pre-order a collector's edition
Or you can play it like a regular shooter if you want.
They have confirmed that it doesn't have enemy scaling.

Also I am ridiculously excited for this game. I actually have the collector's and survival editions both preordered in amazon and am having a tough time deciding which to cancel. It will probably be the Survival that I keep though. Soooooo exclusively limited.
I'll totally be using the VATS system, then.
Also, how can I make my Fallout run on Windows XP? I've got the disk in the drive, but it won't run it, and I have no idea how to set it to Win95 compatability mode.
damnit Dely
I have oblivion uninstalled and deleted all the registry shit so there shouldnt be any tracks of it on my computer anymore. But I cant get it to reinstall to give it another shot. Is there any hope for playing this again or am I boned?
Faaaaalllooouuut fall out with all the leaders and gangs
To reinforce, that video is EXTREMELY worth watching if you are interested in Fallout 3. Tons of information and gameplay in the form of a live interview.
That also makes me feel :l
