casting spells and being a wizard is so for fags and nerds
making peoples heads esplode wit nukes that is the fuckin shiiiiiit man, cut that old ladys head off and talk to to it yo!
That is who Betesda was catering to. Face it, fantasy is pretty effeminate and it's not something you want...
Seems to be pretty much the same as Radiohead's, except Gnarls' vocals are too overpowering for the song, they skip the the closer and Phil Selway's drumming is much better than whoever was doing it for Gnarls. It's a good version... but not better, not by a mile.
Beatles - A Day in the Life
The third screen is pretty. Bethesda needs to stop making all their games in shades of one color. Oblivion was bright green (or just "bright" works) Fallout 3 was grey and brown, Anchorage was white and grey... and this is orange... fucking orange EVERYWHERE.
His version is cool, but his voice way overpowers what should be a very intimate song. His drummer way overdoes it too, with a strong hip-hop inspired breakbeat... Reckoner's drums should be more jazzy.

Radiohead - Reckoner
It's one of the best songs I've ever heard. That's all I have to say about that... listen to it. (Don't forget to click "watch in HD" for the best sound quality)
BTW, did anyone catch Radiohead's performance of 15 Step with...
I agree that the suit look like it's been ripped of from Metal Gear, whether it's from VB or not. Specifically, it looks like an all-black version of Grey Fox/Cyber-ninja... they even included a sword. Even if it wasn't a ripoff, it's definately the product of 21st century futurism, not mid-20th.
I liked how in FO2, the story would lead you through pretty much every location on your search for answers (if you weren't skipping any because you knew EXACTLY where to go before hand) It was hard to miss a town for any reason (maybe Redding or Mariposa) In Fallout 3, the main story was...
I dislike the colors of the daytime Washington DC. Actually, dislike is the wrong word... I believe "vomit-inducing" fits better. It's all this nasty bright pale green, and grey. Maybe it's the guys settings - like he turned the brightness up and contrast down. Even Oblivion's landscape was...
I don't care if they had some chimeric monster of George Lucas, Stanley Kubric and Chris Nolan do a Fallout movie... it would never, ever work because a movie can't be non-linear and that's what Fallout is ALL about.
But it would be cool to see a modern movie with a similar setting... or even...
I'm pretty sure I remember Todd or Pete or some other Beth guy saying that many of the subquests of the main story could be approached at any time...
EDIT: Bleh, I hate reading
The variation in quality astounds me. Some shots look brilliant... others pretty good for 2003.
Case in point: this (nice) vs. this
I mean, if you make an FPS... at least make nice weapon models and textures so that it doesn't look like a steaming pile of amateur shit from that...
I don't like how you are given percentages of success/failure for dialogue options. All that will do is force people to quicksave and reload the game each time they don't succeed until they do. Kinda like stealing was in the original
Technically, you could get Advanced Power Armor, et al. within about 15 minutes of playtime in FO2 if you know what you're doing.
But I have a nagging fear that's not what they mean...
