This is an extensive fan written design document for Fallout 3.  This is what the author, Thomas Lau, would like to see in the game.  It's a long read, but quite interesting.

In addition to reading the piece here, you can download it from Duck and Cover.

Ausir was able to extract dialogue files from the Van Buren tech demo. To our surprise, there was quite a bit of dialogue that looks like it came from the actual game. We haven't cleaned it up at all yet because we wanted to get it out there, but read on!

What does this mean for the future of NMA and DAC? If the evidence from the blacklisting of RPGCodex and STG are anything to go by, there's a significant possibility that as the hype machine for Fallout 3 kicks into gear, Bethesda will attempt to use DAC and NMA in order to serve as marketing tools, as was the case with STG and STGU.

If you don't feel the same way as Mismatch, then respond with more content! PM me anything that you write and would like to see on the front page.

This is the history of the System Wars, part 1. It is a brief history of the elder times when the world was good, the coming of the beasts, and the wars that followed. It details the release of a false savior, and the prophecy of a King. The forces of good shall triumph!
