I don't know about you guys, but majority of them hate Fallout: BOS (aka Piece of Shit) LOL!, but that game was nice though it crashes a lot, I've never play F1 or F2, can someone tell me on this? hmm...

Can Fallout work as 1st-person RPG shooter? wonder if they gonna scrap the S.P.E.C.I.A.L attributes..

the atmosphere in Vampires Bloodlines was pretty cool. if they managed to do Fallout in the post-apocalyptic setting, then i'm sold. i've always enjoyed the hilarious conversations with the NPC's with their animated faces. Harold, Sulik, Myron... sigh

Have you ever played Lionheart? It was this medieval fantasy RPG by Black Isle which used SPECIAL and was played in real time... Man, it proved how BAD SPECIAL would be in a real time environment (or fantasy for the matter).

Honestly speaking, I don't see them going any other way than real time if they're making it into 1st person. And if its real time, I really don't know what to expect.

Yeah, some are saying its just going to be "Oblivion with guns" but I'm still waiting on further details.

It is possible to do RPG in first person(with post apocalyptic feel) look at the upcoming titles like Hellgate and Bioshock.

yeah now that u mentioned it WAS awful. Didn't expect Black Isle to come out with turds like that. i hack hack until the end with that game..

hmm does S.t.a.l.k.e.r count? any Stalker fans here? i don't hv Alienware PC so i don't know..

Stalker is only half RPG imo. They have the mission/quest system, the inventory system and vendors all classic rpg mechanics. The rest of it is all FPS.

hmm..that could work. one thing i loved about the Fallout games were the clever dialogue & storyline. i just LOVE making those smart-ass remarks 

Don't mind the action being in real-time. Just as long as there's atmosphere and lot's of gore i'm a happy Deathclaw. 

Vampires : Bloodlines had it. Unfortunately the combat sucked big-time. and the plot kinda went downhill the second half of the game (pretty buggy too but that's a different story)

If Fallout 3 can nail that.. then suit me up with that Power Armor! 

        In a thread inquiring about the developers of Fallout 3 on Bethesda's Fallout 3 forum, Gavin "Kathode" Carter has taken the time to explain some of it. He has outlined some of the members of the Fallout 3 team, including what they do for the project.

    Hayt is a designer who works under Emil. As for me, the various production titles here can get confusing, so let me explain. Todd Howard is the Executive Producer. For all intents and purposes, he is the studio and project director, and has ultimate say over everything we do. We have a very open and collaborative atmosphere here, and Todd is always open to debate and revision, but at the end of the day, to borrow a phrase from Bush, he is the "decider"

    Ashley is our studio Production Director. His job is to coordinate all the production efforts of our internal development across all the various projects we're working on. This includes everything from the big ticket games, to smaller stuff like Oblivion downloadable content, localization issues, and making sure other cross-project people (QA for instance) know and respond to our needs. He manages how we distribute people's time across the projects, and also makes sure all projects conform to good standard methods of scheduling and tracking.

    I'm the Lead Producer on Fallout, meaning I'm the main production guy who is 100% focused solely on this project. I'm responsible for maintaining our overall schedule, setting up and communicating milestones, making sure everyone has the tools, equipment, and info they need to do their jobs, and hounding people to get stuff done on time. I've been on the project since the day we started working on it, and pretty much the day we went gold on Oblivion, I switched over to focusing completely on Fallout. I'm aided by an awesome team of four department producers who focus on either programmers, artists, or designers. Hope this helps clear it up!
