Silence is incriminating. We only have your last ventures into the RPG universe to judge on.
Fallout is not Elder Scrolls, and Elder Scrolls is not Fallout.
Amen.
See, we know that, too. Did you know that Bethesda also makes drag racing games? And we've made bowling games, Terminator games, adventure games, multiplayer combat games, all kinds of things that are totally different from Elder Scrolls RPGs. I think we're a bit more flexible than you give us credit for.
As I mentioned above, Fallout is an RPG. Therefore we'll take stabs at you based on your track record of RPGs. You guys fucked the pooch on Sea Dogs of the Caribbean and I will hate you eternally for that. And I still haven't been sufficiently assured that the ass cam has been made extinct. Would it be that much more difficult to maybe give us an OVER THE SHOULDER third person cam? You still get to keep your third person OMG LOOK AT MY AWESOME ARMOR view plus I get to actually see what's ahead of me and hell, maybe a swivel on that cam to let me get a peak at my surroundings. But hey you can't tell us anything yet... right? right?

Fallout 3 is going to be Oblivion with guns?

Well, it'll be built on Oblivion technology, not Morrowind technology, at the very least.

Bethesda didn't develop Pirates of the Caribbean. That was Akella. Bethesda just published the game in the US.

All visuals are being and will continue to be tweaked until the game is released.
Oh one cool thing -- the HDR lighting settings can vary cell by cell -- so you can have a fairy tale woods with lots of glow or a stark cavern with none. And since it's HDR and not static bloom lighting, the amount changes depending on the amount of light, time of day if you're outside, how bright/specular/reflective the objects being lit are, etc., even how long you look at them. It ends up being very realistic.
But there's an .ini setting to turn it off completely, too

No-no, I don't want to turn it off completely. I just don't want to stare at the bloom glow for half an hour as I tour the countryside.

That's exactly what it is. I hope BethSoft is paying you to propogate their shitty PR fluff pieces about the web.
They don't like to talk about their games but fuck, they sure have released a lot of previews and interviews.
I <3 double speak.
and MSFD, I'm not wasting my money on Oblivion. I made that mistake with Morrowind and its expansions. Still it sits, I've installed it twice. Uninstalled it twice. Longest stay was the latest, all of one week. Yeah, its a big world. But its not interesting. IT HAS NO SOUL.

It's worth it for the small contributions to your impending aneurysm alone.

Just out of curiousity, how long did it take to develop the Oblivion technology?

When people buy this game, what are we going to do about the influx of retards that will say the originals are crap and look like horseshit?
You know they will.

Maybe they're right? Everyone's entitled to an opinion. And everyone is entitled to ignore an opinion. Of course, knowing the atmosphere here in DAC, their visit to the forums will be short-lived. No word filters can prevent that.
Fallout 3 is still in pre-production and given the curse is still in effect, I wouldn't be surprised if we wont see another Fallout for a long while.
