I can already feel my bottle cap obsession returning.

But it fails to realise that a bunch of people, especially the console crowd. Don't care about the originals and actually enjoyed Fallout 3 for what it was worth. The guy said it was on short notice but the whole "real fallout 3" thing struck me as a bit snobby. Thing isn't even out yet. I do agree with you on the rest of it though- I can go to Wikipedia or Amazon and find out the price, collector's edition content. The rest of it was better. /shit sandwichepmode said:

I've since removed that section. To be honest, I'm not even near what you'd call a PC/Fallout snob. I loved Fallout 3. I was just really, really excited that the Obsidian dudes got to work on a Fallout game again. Perhaps I went overboard.
I'm hoping to change to OP title. From here on out it's discussion of the game.

To stay on-topic, I am fucking stoked for this game and will be using my Best Buy gift card on it.
More to the point of this post, you might have my favorite username and avatar on GAF.

I'm definitely going to give the hardcore mode a go. It was too easy to become substantially overpowered in Fallout 3 to the point where there was little to nothing the Capital Wasteland could throw at you that represented even a slight semblance of a threat.
I'm hoping the hardcore mode forces you to keep on your toes throughout the whole experience.

What to do what to do. I beat fallout 3, and have to admit I really enjoyed myself, I was really immersed in that game but by the end I did grow pretty tired of the desert setting. Here I am I just bought Stalker: Clear Sky and about to install the complete mod pack.
This would be my first stalker game, I wanted to start with what was chronologically correct. Should I drop it...or should I give it a go.

I suppose it would be unsightly to change the thread title to "You fight like old people fuck!"
Edit - God, going back through old Fallout 2 quotes and easter eggs makes me want to play it again.
Myron: I feel like I've passed an arbitrary experience point limit and gained more power.
Good thing that piece of shit didn't live long enough to be in NV.

First secret/easter egg revealed?
Just pulled this off of Bethesda's blog, from an interview with Obsidian's Eric Beaumont:

Hope my thread didn't disappoint. It's been a strange time comin'.
easter egg spoiler'd.

It's fine, I don't really feel the extremely large OTs really add anything to the forum, so talking about the history of Fallout development and so forth makes it more interesting than most. If it wasn't finished you should've waited another day though, as most people read the OP when it's first posted, not later on. For future reference.

I like the OP, though I admit I did not read it in its 'vanilla' form.
I'm doing a 3rd play through of F3 - I did it once on my PS3, then on my PC with all the DLC - with the realistic day/night time, Book of Earache, and Wolfskin Backpack mods enabled. I was amazed at how much more awesome the game is with these three small mods loaded (using FMM of course); the realistic day/night mod is awesome, adding a whole new layer of atmosphere to the game.
I was sad to see that the F3 story is not referenced at all. It would have been nice to have a handle of small references to the BoS mission and Project Purity. Oh well.

According to Fallout Wiki a few best buy employees have their hands on the official guide and are revealing details on various sites, such as NMA and The Vault. As of yet, I've seen no end-game spoilers, but the way I see it, it's only a matter of time, so be careful what you read if you visit these sites, if you don't wanna get spoiled, that is.
As for me, it's blackout time. And that includes this thread. Hope everyone enjoys the game.

Yep, same here. There's already been one spoiler in here I thankfully missed.

Next Week can't come any sooner
Yeah, it's post nuclear war time! Again.
Fallout 3 was easily the best Next-Gen game I played so far.
Even the guy from zero punctuation only got some lame
arguments for his rant.
I still don't know where to buy it:
If I order it from amazon.de it will be brutally cut (it's not even an option)
If I order it from amazon.co.uk I won't get it within a week (50)
If I order it from zavvi.com I probably have to wait until early november (43)
If I buy it on the first day at my local dealer (60), I feel ripped off.
Will the PEGI version be uncut and in english? Help me GAF.

Great OP, I always enjoy hearing about the history of a popular game franchise that's not sanitized like a Wikipedia article. No banners or giant jpegs all up in my shit either, always a plus.

This might have been asked before but I was wondering if the game takes the save from the first game or is it a completely brand new game?

Actually working on this game as part of development team? At least one is, if I remember it right.
I loved FO3 and can't wait for this. But I've got a few questions:
1. I've pre-ordered through Steam. Will it pre-load, or will I have to download the whole thing next week?
2. I know Bethesda and Obsidian have reputations for buggy ass games, and I experienced that stuff with their console ports. But on PC, am I better off just waiting for the first major patch?
