I believe "good turn-based and isometric CRPGs won't/don't sell" is a baseless arguement against the equally baseless arguement that "CRPGs have to be turn-based and isometric to be good".

Unless Obsidian makes a statement saying that they want to make a Fallout paper doll flash game and BethSoft won't let them, I'd say it's safe to assume Obsidian is going to make the game they want to make. The engine being used is just a presentation medium, and from the sounds of it, it has...

A fairly uninspired list yeah. That grenade "feature" was actually kinda amusing. A little incidental faliability in an otherwise infaliable system. Sure it's game engine mechanic based flaw, but I've seen attempts at justifying worse examples.

You must be missing the news of "BethSoft gives Obsidian and ex-BIS employees the go ahead for a Fallout game Obsidian wants to make".

In Mother Russia, you come to Holocaust!

Well, you have to remember Blizzard's game design theory: 1) Gameplay 2) All other considerations It's also very apparent that the current incarnation of Blizzard is uninterested in additional properties. Ghostbusters, Brutal Ledgend, and a slew of other great properties have been...

I'll have to echo Rev. Layle. FO3 was entertaining, but not near any kind of life/standard-altering experience. It is kinda like a guided tour/reintroduction to basic elements of the Fallout universe, only it begins to fall towards the flawed fan-project spectrum of property continuity, in...

Well, if we're gonna compare the games to famous women... Fallout 1 would be Amanda Peet. Edgy, beautiful, willing to do anything, and probbably perfect in everyway. Fallout 2 would be Jenny McCarthy. Funny, beautiful, willing to do just about anything, but dates Jim Carrey and sometimes...

I think I've come up with a better analogy/final opinion of Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is the Fallout equivelant of Six Flags to Warner Brothers properties.

Those ideas always go wrong, and end up with the hunter becoming the hunted. That being said, anyone in this day and age that goes out to hunt a herbivore and is killed by it deserves to be.

I liked her, but they shoulda gone further as far as characterization. Felt like they wanted to do something, but cut back a lot of the weirdness. Better to go all out than half-assed.

That's about, what... 250 meters?

More brahminos south of Temple of the Union, on a farm.

It is crap, which was part of the point I was trying to make: 3rd person prespective, isometric or not, does not redeem a game such as BOS in anyway, and therefore does not automatically improve another.

I'm not saying Fallout 1 isn't the game Fallout 3 should be judged by, I myself judged Fallout 3 as a Fallout game by its past games. I'm saying all aspects of Fallout 1 are not what a Fallout game should be judged by. And yes, BOS used an about 80 degree follow top down action cam, as...
