Okay, but about the multiplayer:

GS: Will Interplay's retention of "all online gaming rights for the Fallout franchise" affect whether or not Fallout 3 has an online component?

TH: No. They only keep rights for a persistent online massively multiplayer game. We could still have a multiplayer or online component to our titles.

SO basically, they can add multiplayer option to it, and there is no limit to it. Interplay only kept license to MMORPG, not in multiplayer in general...

That is what i said, read my post again and you'll find the following

''They sold the license for ONLY a Fallout game with single player, maybe even with a lil bit of multiplayer, but retained the license for a MMORPG''

How do y'all know that Bethesda didn't just go ahead and buy the rights to the rest later but not announce it to the public? Or didn't you get the memo?...

Maybe I understood your meaning wrong, but that sentence gives a feeling (to me, at least) that Bethesda is only permitted to include small multiplayer -section to the game, and that Interplay is only allowed to make real multiplayer section. But as I said, it may be that I understood (and still understand) your sentence wrong...

Yeah, you didn't get it because the 'even a lil bit of multiplayer' is like my personal thoughts that the multiplayer option has no meaning in Fallout.But I meant that Beth could make as much multiplayer as they wanted.

Fallout Tactics had multiplayer and look at how much that game sidetracked from the original fallout feel.

Remember going to the Glow?All that to get membership to the Brotherhood, and in Tactict every boot-licking Ghoul got to be a 'Brother'.

Well, Tactics was in many ways so different that I can't blame mp only for that. And who knows how fun F1 or 2 would have been with mp...

I think a multiplayer version of Fallout 3 would be great, for those who are really into multiplayer. It's never really been my thing though (I hate subscription fees for anything), so IMO... meh.
