Fallout 3 Megathread! Only post here for any reason! - Games

[QUOTE=Dylan_94]Is Mr. Burke a guard from oblivion?... I swear... [b]Edit:[/b] His voice i mean :rolleye:[/QUOTE] They use same voice actors so what?

Mr Burke is just a guard in disguise. He wants you to blow up megaton so he can throw you into a prison where a ghoul can taunt the race and gender you are playing as.

[QUOTE=ripsipiirakk]They use same voice actors so what?[/QUOTE] They were quite lousy in Oblivion in my opinion. Too smooth, I liked Morrowind's comments more since there was much more variety. In oblivion, everything sounded like they were whispering it all the time, but at louder volume. And it seems they have continued it here.

No one blows up megaton on my watch, now pay the caps or go to the slavers! :v:

If they fucking use the same speaking system that was in Oblivion I'm gonna murder them.

"Fallout 3's slick presentation might have a few people confused into thinking that Bethesda is reimagining the series into a straight-up action title. But at the heart of every good RPG are the mechanisms for crafting a powerful and distinctive character and this is where Fallout shines with a bright, nuclear glow." Haha, IGN :rolleye:

[QUOTE=Sgt. Khorn]I would think [B]time was vaporized with the nukes[/B]. It may be year 2277 to people, but to [B]the world it probably doesn't exist anymore.[/B][/QUOTE] Dude... That doesn't make any sense.

I had heard about it but only yesterday I decided t osee some videos and I almost fucking fainted :(

I CAN'T WAIT! 7 More days! :excited: :excited:

[QUOTE=Gripen2]I CAN'T WAIT! 7 More days! :excited: :excited:[/QUOTE] 7 days till what?

[QUOTE=Gripen2]I CAN'T WAIT! 7 More days! :excited: :excited:[/QUOTE] Just 7? :excited: Too bad we're gonna have to wait.. [b]Edit:[/b] Till what actually?

[QUOTE=ripsipiirakk]Dude... That doesn't make any sense.[/QUOTE] He means that time means nothing to people anymore, other than night and day. They don't care what year it is or what day. No time schedules, etc. Time obviously exists, but he's saying there is no use for clocks and stuff.

[QUOTE=Gripen2]I CAN'T WAIT! 7 More days! :excited: :excited:[/QUOTE] More like 28 days sir.

[QUOTE=Darian]More like 28 days later sir.[/QUOTE] Holy fuck rage virus

[QUOTE=Darian]More like 28 days sir.[/QUOTE] :excited: :v: :confused: :( :mad: :emo: [quote]Fallout 3 is an action role-playing game currently under development by Bethesda Game Studios.[5][8] It will be the third major game in the Fallout series, which has also spawned the spin-offs Fallout Tactics and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. The setting of Fallout 3 will take place in the year 2277, 36 years after the setting of Fallout 2 and 200 years after the nuclear war that devastated the game's world.[9] The game will be released in North America on October 28, 2008, [B]in Europe on October 31, 2008[/B], and in Japan on December 4, 2008.[4][3] Release dates for other regions have yet to be officially announced by the developer.[/quote] :argh:

Umm guys, the release date has been in the OP for like a month now...

Yeah but in Sweden it said 9 October, Fuck!

[QUOTE=PhantomNorth]This is true, but you could just choose to do nothing. I believe you can do that can't you?[/QUOTE] You can, but playing neutral as a viable route != doing nothing. They shouldn't have mentioned it if it roughly translates as do good / bad things as a matter of mathematics instead of as a situation, only the numbers are strictly under the hood. [b]Edit:[/b] [QUOTE=ripsipiirakk]They use same voice actors so what?[/QUOTE] It's fucking irritating, that's what. I'll say it again: first time around, I'll skip the bomb and just go to lamping Burke right between the eyes with a powerfist to spare myself having to hear him speak. Nothing he says is remotely charismatic or profound enough to get me on side and it's made worse by the voice actor.

I don't give a shit if they use the same voice actors so long as they do a better job in this game than they did in Oblivion.

Actually I would like to hear voices that I know, gives a warm feeling :3

Only like a month left... Sooo close...

Does this game have MP?

No. (Message too short)

[QUOTE=Swebonny]Does this game have MP?[/QUOTE] No. [QUOTE=chunkymonkey]I don't give a shit if they use the same voice actors so long as they do a better job in this game than they did in Oblivion.[/QUOTE] It's very difficult to improve on voice acting that prolific. Burke is supposed to be one of the most important evil characters in the game and straight away, they've gimped any potential he has by giving him the same voice as every other Male Imperial in Oblivion. It's ironic, seeing as he also voiced most of the 'important' Imperial characters as well, who sounded the same as any other peasant, guard or beggar.

I like the voice actors...

[QUOTE=Blood Drunk]I like the voice actors...[/QUOTE] I don't mind it if it's done in moderation. So far, I'm not finding any ground with the argument that 'entirely voice acted is better' in games where nearly all the dialogue is done by about four people.

[QUOTE=Fadeaway]You can, but playing neutral as a viable route != doing nothing.

Nothing he says is remotely charismatic or profound enough to get me on side and it's made worse by the voice actor.[/QUOTE] Well what option would you want on Megaton? If you wanna play a neutral guy, there is really no option to take besides do nothing. However in other situations I'm sure there will be. You know if you wanna be neutral and you're presented with a good/bad choice in the wasteland, I would just walk away and stay neutral.

That's the problem. Too many games interpret being neutral as doing nothing. It's about taking an option which has a balancing effect, while not putting your character into good or bad respectively. Take Mass Effect: the only 'neutral' options are ones which produce either nothing or a negative result (i.e. either you pick Paragon or Renegade or you get nothing but failure). [B]EDIT[/B]: This brings me to something I've been thinking for some time: Megaton is probably the worst example of how karma works across the game, especially if you're trying to show that there's a way to play neutral without doing absolutely nothing.

Since when did video games ever have an accurate karma system???

[QUOTE=Blood Drunk]Since when did video games ever have an accurate karma system???[/QUOTE] I'm not even sure how you expect me to answer that. [B]EDIT[/B]: Hell, it doesn't make sense because up until now, games haven't had an accurate system (even Fallout 1 and 2 forced me more or less into playing as a good character), but here goes: Fallout 3 is (supposed to be) an RPG; it's had two videos about its Karma system and the developers have talked about Megaton over and over again. In case you haven't guessed, it's an important part of Fallout 3. If it [B]isn't[/B] accurate and fails to encompass all the possibilities within reason, then Bethesda may as well have dropped it.
