You'll never see this in a real game. That's not the Fallout 3 Bethesda started developing, that's the Fallout 3 BIS worked on before BIS was closed and therefore the project's death.

Yeah - that is not from Fallout 3, as Monolith says. That is from "Van Buren".

Fallout 3 is very early in development still, and we will have to wait untill we see something from Bethesda.

Awww ok I thought i was on to something...

But Fallout 3 is still going to be made isn't it? Do you guys know anything off that?

Fallout 3 is in (pre-)production by Bethesda, whom just have bought the licens from Interplay.
Van Buren was once the codename for a Fallout 3 project (that was to be made by Black Isle I think), but got cut away by Interplay.

Therefore - you have to be carefull and seperate what information you find; which can be from either "Van Buren - Fallout 3" (old and canceled) or the new Fallout 3 (from bethesda).

Yeah, I heard all this two, but from what I gathered, they aren't exactly going to "step on it." Fallout 3 may not start real development for months to years from now. I haven't heard if the games original designers, programmers, artists, etc. will be either brought on for the project or just asked for pointers. For all I know, they'll just make whatever they feel like for a brand new Fallout!

Don't get me wrong. I'm more than a little happy that Fallout may be returning sometime before I'm 30 (6 1/2 years to go....God, I'm getting old...). But, at the same time, I'm not getting my hopes up to high. Yet.

I mean the next Fallout may be a Fallout in name only. What if the SPECIAL system doesn't return? First person rather that three quarters overhead? Online only rather than pure single player?

What if it's not even the Fallout universe we all know and love?

What then?

I'm just waiting for now.....

Brian Fargo

all I would like to know is if anyone has heard wether Brian Fargo is still on the team and writing the story?

Xandax · Post by **Xandax** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 11:38 pm

I don't belive he is....
But I can't remember where I read that - It was likely in some of the early information about the game/development.

I'd be OK with a multiplayer... As long as it is like Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale... (the characters in the same party...)

Malta Soron · Post by **Malta Soron** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 2:03 pm

It's mentioned in the PCGameplay! (if you think that's news)

It's not real.

Fallout 3 will not be made it completely.

Malta Soron · Post by **Malta Soron** » Mon Nov 29, 2004 1:50 pm

Where'd you get that from?

[QUOTE=asure]It's not real.

Fallout 3 will not be made it completely.[/QUOTE]

Are you saying Fallout 3 won't be made? Or something else?

As for it not being made - Bethesda is apparently working on a Fallout 3 project. Whether or not it will be recognisable as a Fallout game, or will be something completely different, we won't be able to say until much further on in dev.

I'm not telling that I want a poor game, but an efficient single player campaign with good story and many many perks with good graphics will already be ok, dontcha think?

So, MP may be left aside, IMO.

Bethesda's probably going to ruin it. They're not BIS, they're not even Troika (great at thinking, not so great at delivering fully finished games).

They're most likely going to make Morrowind a la Wasteland. I know a lot of people liked Morrowind, but I found it to be a fundamentally empty-feeling game. So much to do, so little to define your character by in terms of anything but numbers and equipment. Is it really a roleplaying game if you're not really playing a role? It was the sort of game where being lost wasn't a good thing, because it just led to more quests from character-less characters.

Fallout and Fallout 2 are notable for their characters, their "feel", and their general atmosphere. Dark humour, a little bit of edginess, things that make you smile a little bit. These are all things that Morrowind didn't have. What reason would there be to believe that Fallout 3 will have them?

The Great Hairy · Post by **The Great Hairy** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 5:19 pm

The simple reason that Fallout 1 & 2 have a lot of fans, and if made "correctly" will make a lot of money.

Don't get down on Bethesda just yet. I would agree with you, Sinc, that Morrowind is a little hollow in feeling (and I really didn't like Daggerfall or Arena) but that does not necessarily mean that they are going to stick to the Elder Scrolls style for their Fallout project. Also remember that the Elder Scrolls team is going to be busy for the next year or so working on Oblivion, so they may palm development of F3 off to another team (with a different style in mind).

It all comes down to "don't count your chickens..."
