I think he means that while talking, the rest of the world is still moving.

ohh THAT real-time. 

but you're kinda wasting ur time during conversations and what if everything happens in real-time, then u may miss an important event somewhere in the Fallout world?

You misunderstand. Fallout fans DO NOT WANT an FPS out of fallout. There's a reason to turn-based combat, and a good one too. Tactical reasons.

And I'm kind of figuring how they are going to tackle this problem - what will gunnery skills and perception matter when you can head shot a person in real time with skills learnt from CS and Quake 3 Arena?

PS: TES = The Elder Scrolls.

You obviously haven't played FO 1&2.

Actually no. It won't be an FPS. It has been rumored that the game will run on 3rd person view while exploring and move to top-down RTS view while in combat. And yeah, too bad its not isometric but its still ok in my book.

i'm currently playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R too. I find it quite entertaining. The Arena fight is very challenging, especially the round where u need to outhide, outgun the 2 army soldiers equipped with super armor and guns, while i only have an average gun.

I cant say anything else to you people who are crying about Fallout. There is nothing that can be done that Bethesda is doing Fallout 3 and why are you crying about some damn Black Isle, I pity you. You should grow up and get it, theyre not dead. You should support the game makers and i dont think theyre going to rape the game. And its your fault why Black Isle got shut down. Some of you whiners only burned a Cd from a friend or made a full install. Me and my brother bought both of the games.

I will keep both my Fallout 1 and 2 CD and let my future son / daughter play it over and over again. Let them feel the old classic game where they wont find it in the future anymore ! Booooo

it's not that i don't want to buy the game, it's just that there aren't any in stores around here. Not even in the bargain bin. All they have is EA EA EA and some other sodding games. and i'm one of those ppl who just don't do their business online. it's all up close & personal baby.

On another topic i played FO2 up until Vault15 when suddenly i can't get out of there otherwise it'll crash the game. Dang! 

I guess you didn't understand what my grieve is all about. Take a look at fallout 1, then take a look at fallout 3. One is an RPG, another is oblivion with guns. Ok, maybe it is more than just oblivion with guns, but definately when you bring an isometric shooter into the FPS arena you're gonna kill a lot of the old and familiar atmosphere. Fallout isn't about a post apoclayptic world lined with vehicle wrecks and ruins, littered with people with big guns. No, my friend, that is STALKER you're talking about.

What did I like about fallout? I didn't know exactly what it was, I just loved the theme. The game itself wasn't too great - I mean, planescape torment, in terms of gameplay and story was much better than fallout will ever be, but the sheer fun you can extract out of fallout makes it worthwhile. I mean, how many games let you walk into New Reno and discover you aint got enough cash for a weapon, then decide to kill the shopkeeper without alerting the whole town, then loot his body for some serious hardware? I got my first assault rifle that way, until I realized I could walk all the way to San Fran to get a power armor and gauss rifle instead.

but still, the theme. The whole thing about fallout being unforgettable is the theme that the entire game was built upon. It wasn't the technological marvels, the cool visuals, the newest 3D technology... it was the theme itself that mattered. I still remembered the feeling of invulnerability of seeing my SMG tear a bandit into shreds, his arms flailing lifelessly as the hail of bullets ripped him open. Granted, Beth could give us the violence in fallout 3, but it won't feel right - it is an FPS, and growing up playing Wolf3d, Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem and Half life I'm all but numb to the violence in an FPS.

I'm not crying about Beth killing fallout. The moment I heard they won the bid I knew it was over, didn't even wanted to give them a chance to proof themselves. 3 years later, I was proven right. They had indeed missed the crucial things that made fallout stick to my heart, and while I will still play fallout 3 I won't expect them to ever come close to what fallout did.

Heck, let me just say this - I enjoyed STALKER. I really did. Even wrote a short fanfic on it. And if Beth wants to give us something in between Oblivion and STALKER, I'd rather play the respective games than accept something that is only in between.

Let's see how VATS turn out to be.

I'm going to cry

No body forced you to fork out 300 dollars for a piece of shit metallic case and piece of HYPED, unfulfilled and empty promise product.

In case you wonder why Bethesda is a lousy company now,

1) Overhyped product - Radiant AI in TES Oblivion, dumbed down gameplay (leveling system, dialog, 5 voice actors to voice EVERY NPC), storyline and ending (previos TES titles have mutltiple endings except Morrowind and Oblivion).

2) They turned a tabletop simulated CRPG cult classic game into a mindless first person action game where level 1 character can slaughter a bunch of people without any difficulty . It's like turning GTA into a tetris game for every age, with the aim of maximize their profit.. Many games have suffered the same treatment (Deus Ex 2, X-COM: Enforcer and X-COM: Interceptor, Unreal Tournament 3).

Weird all the review sites giving FO3 good reviews. Well, the ones I know anyway. I know how reviews can get biased but most of them?

Anyway, most forums have more negative views than positive ones. Why? Simply because the happy people are busy playing the game! When this game is out here (MY), I'm gonna get it no matter what.

they are good when they make morrowind last time.I still playing that darn game over and over again
