You should email your idea to Obsidian and see.
Dear Obsidian

It has come to my attention that you are charging cash for games in a crazed attempt to generate "profit". I am sure that now you have been notified you will rectify the situation/ ignore this crazy asshole.

yours faithfully

Edit: still no reply
Make it into a petition. They will always listen to a petition.

And basing off F3 I want more cutomization. Better graphics (not saying the graphics weren't bad). No level cap. And an ending that actually feels like an ending with an actual cutscene.

Please don't insult us, give credit where credit is due. The roleplaying and story aspects might not be as strong in Fallout 3 as in the previous games, but no one is claiming those aspects in FO3 are particularly brilliant. No, what we like is the exploration, and there's quite a bit of that to do.

I think that a nice happy medium between the two generations of the franchise would be great. While going back to top down views and turn-based combat would not be my idea of fun, some better dialogue and morally grey descisions in the vein of the old games would be very cool.
I'm not a purist, I actually think the first person view is a good change for the Fallout series. The only real reason the original was isometric were graphical limitations at the time, and frankly the combat was never very good in the original Fallout games. Same wth the visuals, terrible even at the time. Instead the original games compensated by creating a rich world through text and dialogue.

The new game however is a complete 360 from the originals. Where the old Fallout games focused on dialogue to cover mediocre gameplay and graphics, the new one focused on visuals and gameplay to cover up the mediocre at best dialogue and a bland world.

That's what I'm trying to get at here. And me? I'll take the originals approach over the new ones anyday. But Obsidian are being given a chance to create a new Fallout with the improvements of Bethesda's game but, you know, with decent writers. Bethesda really needs to hire a couple of those themselves.
Fair enough. I can certainly understand your opinion, although I do disagree over FO3 having a bland world, as one of my favorite aspects was the exploration, but point taken on everything else.

Who really cares? Its the internet, grammer and spelling don't matter.
Your previous post was the linguistic equivalent of a caveman beating his club off someone's head to get thier attention.

It matters because people will be more likely to take the time to read your posts or consider your opinion if you articulate yourself like an educated evolved human being, as opposed to a grumpy degenerate.

The focus of the "Fallout" series was that everything was effected by your choices and your stats, neither seem to have much bearing on how this entry was played. Beleive it or not, that's what I FUCKING WANTED! If I wanted to play "Oblivion" again, that's what I would have done.
I never once retorted that "Fallout 3" was a rip-off of anything, but, if we're going to get technical, a million and one games are set in "post-apocalyptic" comewhere or another and, believe it or not, the VATS system has been in every "Fallout", all it did was turn your happy action-heavy gameplay into nothing more than the same turn-based combat you're bitching about. It's all numbers and, OMG, guess what an RPG is?

"Fallout 3" is sloppy. It isn't a great action game because it sacrifices too many action qualities for RPG perks and vice-versa. On top of that, they sacrificed qualities that the "Fallout" series is known for, effectualy making it less of a "Fallout" game altogether. Some of us have fun exploring, meeting characters who are actually interesting, facing some actual difficulty and playing through a story that is actually affected by our deciscions. That may not be you, Micheal Bay, but some of us enjoy that. So some of us found it a sore disappointment. Some of us like a good game and don't need action to keep us playing.

Your character WAS boring. The story WAS boring (and unoriginal). The characters WERE poorly written.

Eat your sarcasm, honkey.
I agree with almost every point you made, though I will opine to you that I feel VATS does not really equate to turn based combat as the numerical and mathematic focus is undermined by the ability to fire off a few shots, duck behind a corner and wait for your AP to recharge.

You already are insane because you don't realize you don't have to read any thing you don't want to. Now go whine outside so we don't have to hear you on the internet.

ANYWAYS. I would like better loot, everyone had the same damn guns and the special weapons weren't all that great.
Not really, it's pretty frustrating getting onto really any game forum and seeing over 9000 F3 threads and then any generic xbox/ps3/pc/rpg thread is filled with fallout comments. I mean, it's actually pretty unavoidable. And really annoying.
You mean unavoidable as in you can't NOT CLICK on the thread title that has the words FALLOUT THREE in it? Do you have spastic muscles in your finger that make you randomly click links?

There are a bunch of other threads, if EVERY thread was about Fallout you'd have a point but that's just not true.
Didn't say I read F3 threads, I clearly don't since I dislike the game. It's just really annoying seeing game forums totally full of fallout threads.
There comes a point where it's just like F3overload and I asplode.
..so you come to this thread about Fallout and continuously post upon it?

I an see what you mean about The Fallout-hype, but trust me. It will all end in November, bear with me.

OT- I would like to see less giant radscorpions =3

..now that I think about, you'd be more likely to see a scorpion in Nevada than D.C. =/

...shit -.-

yeah because RPG's are'nt borign or anything they pull you in especially when they are turn based I just love that and Fallout 3 is the most unoriginal game I mean about every game is in post apoycolyptic D.C. and Vats, that is in like every game these days, and it never pulls you in what with your bland character and lack of many dramatic choices, and was way more boring and fun killing compared to the other two games (tactics and BoS didnt count) It was so unintresting and poorley written and did NOT skull fuck the other fallout games (sarcasim)
He said Wasteland of the Onseis because he is a picky little ***** and was complaining about how in fallout 3 when you put on an outfit it is always a complete outfit shirt, pants, shoes etc. you can't mix it up, even though he should appreciate the very large amount of outfits to choose from compared to most games where the choice does not even exist.
Ok you know how Fallout 3 was about perfect, well just keep that system except with a diffrent place, plot, people, and new weapons, armor and partners along with new decisions as difficult or more so than FO3 and maybe new cretures, make the landscape a little more than just the remains of vegas and desert, have intresting and unique places (my only real complaint about FO3 was the lack of variety.
Well, huh, I think you were trying to make a point that had nothing to do with what I was saying, aside from the obvious "SKULL FUCK" remark and to that I say that you completely mistook what I was saying. I defend "Fallout 3" as a good game, I enjoy it, do I find it anywhere near as fun or immersive? No. Because, even without turn-based combat and nearly completely text-based dialouge it still failed to make me feel like anything I did mattered. Okay. I blew up Megaton. Whoopity shit.

I liked the story and I don't know where you see a lack of originality but the character is only boring if you make him that way and going into details the NPC's did need an improvement from a zombie that kept the ability to talk but not the ability to see, hear think or show emotion but I notice diffrences in my choices I slaughtered megaton and guess what now I never go there because it is empty, the Outcasts will hate you forever if you kill even one member and I think some people make the mistake of trying to think of FO3 as a hardcore game that had shit blowing up every ten seconds or that it would be very similar to the old fallouts, when the game was not designed that way it is a game purely there to just have fun and do whatever you want and it does that part right, you seem to be looking at the game through a perspective that it was not meant to be seen from and it is alot like trying to find a horror game inside Super Mario Galaxy. You are going to be disapointed the game you want is in another castle.
I was able to get immersed in the story by making one up for my charcter beyond trying to find dad. The game was meant for you to do that so that is what I did, and maybe if you tried that you would be able at least seem to find a diffrece in the choices that you made. I also appear to be the only one who uses VATS correctly. You don't go in and use it on every single thing that moves. I only use it when I want to do something funny or cool, and even if you did use all VATS all the time it is still not even similar to being turn based.
You tried to stack Fallout 3 as the third game in a series that has shown great promise, when in reality Fallout 3 does not have anything to stack up to it was made completly diffrent than the first two. this was an experiment more than anything and you have an attitude like "halo 1, 2 and 3 were all good and so halo wars should be just like them." Fallout 3 was a prototype of sorts and so unlike you I was not expecting the perfect game created as the offspring of god and Fallout 1 and 2. Now just be quiet and hope for Fallout 4 to show an expanse of improvement because Bethesda will now how to use the right techniques to its full advantage.

So Fallout: New Vegas is being developed by Obsidian? A company that is recognised for making well written RPGs? I dare say I'm excited.

I also love the fact they deliberately didn't put a number on this one. Who knows, they might actually be out to appease the Fallout fans with this Fallout game. Maybe.

I'm not a fan of Fallout (I want to like it, I really do, but I just can't get into the post-apocalyptic setting). Still, I can totally understand why my fellow Escapists like it so much (a rich setting full of cool lore and well-done game mechanics...or "why I love Oblivion so damn much", really). Enthusiasm is cool even if I'm not personally enthusiastic about it.

This thread is juicy. We have a Troll (Take a guess at who it is) and then we have everyone else. (I'm betting on everyone else)

Yeah, I think this has been said, but I want more realistic clothing mechanics. Might seem trivial, but a trenchcoat is usually worn over other clothes, not instead of other clothes. Always bothered me.

Other than that, THREE DOG, AWOOOOOOO!!

why do you mention unreal 3, i thought it was same engine as fallout 3/TES?

I figured obsidian are doing what they do best, making sequels of other peoples games. so they will just be taking fallout 3 code by code, but putting it in a new area. the fact that its not a sequel tells us there wont be very much difference to fallout 3 at all, its not going to trying to make the game more like fallout1/2 thats just stupid. its basically just more content ;)

I think I probably brought this up but like hell if i give a damn.

Maybe if it was like focused on the whole New Reno idea. (look it up yourselves you lazy cretins)
Skimmed a bit of page 2 and 3, but this for definate. Give us 4 waring families and you pick one of them to join up with. Gives gameplay x 4 then.
