Come on people, every time i read the "but you haven't played it yet" argument i somehow picture this certain animal banging its head repeatedly against the same stone over and over again. Seriously, wake up and smell the napalm. And although that might sound like a good thing seeing that we're talking about Fallout, no, i ment it in the worst way possible.
We're talking Bethesda here, Bethesda that even can't do their own games well, no worse, Bethesda managing to butcher their own games over and over again. How many times does it take to come close and deliver, maybe, 50% of the fun and depth of that one game you made, what was it, freaking 12 years ago? Can anyone look right into my eyes and tell me with a straight face that there is "a" chance, "any" chance Bethesda might be able to make a) a good game b) a decent RPG and c) you know what, forget about c) "a respectable Fallout game". Not even with the best intentions can i believe in that. Seriously, look deep into yourself, doesn't matter if you are a fan of TES, doesn't matter if you're a fan of Fallout, doesn't matter if you aren't a fan of anything. Look deep into yourselves and tell me there is a chance Fallout 3 might actually turn out to be ok. And then try living in horrible shame for getting anyones hopes up for what obviously is an utterly lost cause.
