so a new game alltogether?

i think they might have done well just to finish some other major cities joining to the stuff thats already been done in Fallout3...

hmm maybe a side story?

[mephisto_kur]

There is nothing left to tell in the Fallout 3 area of the game's narrative.  It is time to move on from it.

I've been waiting for this game for almost a year now... I WANT IT

I can't wait to get my hands on this. PC Gamer has a good article it. I like the idea of a reputation system rather than a morale system.

hardcore mode?

hardcore mode?

In New Vegas there's a alternate mode that makes ammo have weight, forces you to rely on doctors to heal crippled limbs, and to maintain a hydration bar by drinking water periodically to avoid dehydration/death. That's all they've said that it does so far and only seems to make you become more careful about maintaining and protecting your character.

There have been similar mods to give food/water items and the various beds real use in FO3 but most of em are outdated now. I'm looking forward to this and definitely plan on using it.

i will definitely like that. im all about the real-izim in RPGs. when i first started playing FO3 i thought thats how things worked... but then dint find any water for a few days (game time) and didn't die...

i think that might take away from the game.imho

That's why its only an alternate mode for those that enjoy the extra details. Though I'll be honest and haven't played 1 or 2 even though I got them through family.

I may actually buy the CE.  I was bummed I missed out on the pipboy clock from the FO3 Amazon CE, but felt better when it turned out it was a piece of crap.

[nanaki254]

yeah.. a life size pip boy that was unwearable? what were they thinking? and it was just the old lcd screen too

But I might wait for amazon to see if they are offering it cheaper than gamestop

[Shyfty]

i am bummed that i missed the chance to ebay off my limited and media only swag for fallout 3 when it would have gone for lots. People were paying a bunch fro the PAX puppets, i also had the viewfinder, the dev team shirts, a steel journal from E3 (invite only), and the Poster by the PA team.

sigh.  will need to get rich some other way.  Oceanfront property in Arizona anyone?

[anomaly]

my friend bought the CE for FO3 and gave me the bobble head! 

awesome part is he actually uses the lunchbox for his lunch!
