Bethesda Softworks: Fallout 3

Grv · July 12th, 2004

Both Interplay and Bethesda Softworks have announced that a license agreement occurred. Yes you read it right, Bethesda, most notably known for their Elder Scrolls Series (Arena, Daggefall, Morrowind) is going to develop and publish Fallout 3.

All I can say is.. What to expect from this? I don't know if I should be happy or sad, seeing F3 is going to be made by a crew other than Obsidian, Troika, or BioWare. But it IS going to be developed and published, and Bethesda is not to be underestimated, looking at some of their previous games.

Well im not sure if thats the right company for that.. but the sheer thought of another fallout (fallout tatics never existed kthx pure crap) game makes me all warm inside

Great news klatch.

Mr.Smith · July 12th, 2004

Oh man...this is GREAT news!! A good developer is making Fallout 3!! Oh man...that made my day.

ChaosBlade · July 12th, 2004

Same here, Anyone who played Fallout 1&2 knows they are GREAT games, one of the best RPG series ever made for the PC. Being a fan of the serie its amazing to see another game (read: Fallout:BoS aka tactics sucked) in the serie, and from a good RPG developer like BethSoft.

Strider · July 12th, 2004

pretty good news, good that somebody crappy wasnt chosen for the job seeing as fallout is i think my favourite rpg series

**Kellicros** · July 13th, 2004

Great news, Fallout 1/2 are wicked and you know how long I have been waiting for this!

ChaosBlade · July 13th, 2004

We've all been ES*cough*Kellicros ^^;

permethium · July 13th, 2004

Good Heavens!! This is what i've been waiting for! For me, the world is a better place now. I just hope they can stick to the original ideas and they shouldn't leave out the humor either. I'm so excited now, I gotta go to the loo.....

ChaosBlade · July 13th, 2004

I just hope for one main thing - it reamins in the same view as it was. i certaintly dont want to see it switch to the Morrowind First Person style.

Mr.Smith · July 13th, 2004

I hope it will also have the same turn based gameplay.

Strider · July 13th, 2004

i heard it was actually gonna be a little different than the previous ones, not sure about the way it plays, just the textures and models

Mr.Smith · July 13th, 2004

I remember reading a thread a LONG time ago on the Black Isle forums where they were discussing real-time versus turn-based and one of the developers said that a balance between the two would be idea.

Ofcourse this was ago before Interplay tanked and we don't know what Bethesda plans to do with it.

Kaiser Sigma · July 13th, 2004

Great news: new Fallout.
Doubtful news: is it the right company ?

I can't picture Bethesda doing a game of Fallout's caliber... not that they are a bad company or anything, but it's just weird. It's as if Blizzard would develop Baldur's Gate III

Morrowind(bethesda)+Fallout(Interplay)=First Person Shooter Fallout... most of them use gun so... this kind of thing might be happen...

kuaikukia · July 13th, 2004

I hope Bethesda doesn't change the skills and perks either .They are very unique especially Kamasutra perk

ChaosBlade · July 13th, 2004

LOL, you could become a pr0n star in F2 remember ?

Sampah: Nah, not a first person shooter, but a first person RPG like Might & Magic or Morrowind. Dont get me wrong, both the MM and Morrowind Series are great, but i really dont think it fits a game like fallout.

Grv · July 13th, 2004

We won't really know till something like that is done anyway. Most of the times, it's all up to the quality of the execution of a plan. It could work out.

But that's as suggestive as saying it doesn't, so let's just wait and see.

It's surprising how many people hate the turn-based system. for me it's the best way to play and i can't really imagine fallout without it. I also want them stick to the fallout 1 and 2 looks and especially the same style music.

ChaosBlade · July 13th, 2004

Yea, the music wasnt bad at all, and RPGs should really stick to turn based IMO. Fallout, Baldurs Gate, etc were great not only but also because of the turn based system.

why? The elder scrolls games are of massive caliber. They're just as open ended and large as fallout is, if not moreso. I have no doubt that bethesda could make another fallout. They already said that people who think that this is going to be morrowind with guns are sorely mistaken. I trust them. They showed us that they can make games of such massive scale, before fallout even came out.
