Harrison Ford, eh? I admit he was pretty good in "Clear & Present Danger" but I suspect you are thinking about HENRY Ford in this case. I have always been into roleplaying games in some sense or another. I played a campaign via bulletin board that lasted for several years. But doing PnP in...

There! Fallout 3! I'm skeptical. I have tried and tried to like Oblivion but I just can't get drawn into it. They really have to work on the feel of the game if Fallout will be successful in this engine. It'll definitely need a better speechcraft system than the stupid pie game in Oblivion.
