Kick ass!

[prisoner_24601]

So Bethesda bought the rights to the best computer rpg of all time, Fallout, and finally after years and years Fallout 3 is in development and slated for a fall 2008 release.

They even have a trailer! There's actually a FAQ about the game here. Apparently unlike the first two games, this one is supposed to take place on the eastern cost of the United States.

I'm so freaking geeked. If there was one game that I could have picked to have a sequel for, it's Fallout (yes, even over Knights of the Old Republic). This is probably my all time favorite computer game although it might tie with Day of the Tentacle.

It had probably the best and most original character creation system that I've ever seen in an rpg, an amazingly original plot (I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic stories) and some completely kick ass visuals (I can still see the opening sequence for Fallout 1 in my head). Fallout 1 also had the most entertaining instruction manual ever with the hilarious Pip Boy cartoons.

I just hope that 1) this actually does get released and 2) it lives up to the first two games.

I think I'm going to have to go dig up my copies of the old games and play them again.

And now watch as Bethesda takes out everything good about the first two games and injects it with Morrowind/Oblivion.

I just inhaled all the oxygen in the room with my gasp of shocked joy, and now I'm bouncing in my seat like a three year old! FO 1 and 2 take up two slots in my top five fave games, so if they do a third that's just as good... I might just weep.
Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease let them do it right - and please let it actually get done and released! It always boggled my mind that such an overwhelmingly popular game world was just allowed to sit in limbo. Again with the squeals and yays - this is awesome news!

I love Fallout. God, make this not suck.

I still have my Fallout 1 disk, I pulled it out a few weeks ago but resisted temptation to install it again cause it sucks me in and won't let me out.

It's sitting right next to my printer.
Dam you for reminding me! :p
