Fallout 3 discussion

[Phatose]

I'm sure the Bethesda fanbois are a pain, but please, I gotta call both of you on this. The Fallout fan boards were brimming with hate long, long before Bethesda was even rumored to be purchasing the rights to Fallout. If some clueless Oblivion-loving fellows have made themselves convenient targets, well, that's too bad for them, isn't it?

But the hate and anger go a lot deeper, and are much older than what you're implying. Heck, I remember how ugly things were getting on the Interplay boards around the time of Fallout Tactics. This is an old anger, a deep, entrenched grudge. I wouldn't be even slightly surprised if, upon their deaths, some of the haters from NMA begin coming back to hate from the dead. It will all be very J-horror, you know, "Play this web game and ten days later you die."

There are definitely some very pissed off, nearly insane fallout fanboys out there, who have been for a long time. And, well, if FO2 wasn't FO enough to please these guys, then between FOT, BoS, and FO3, they're gonna be nuts.

Find me a community without a psycho or two and I'll show you a very small community.

It's just these days, even the more mild of the Fallout Fans are being aggravated for sport. It's more then just the extremists. It's the entire community. And while there are certainly Bethesda fanboys who are there just to preach, there are also plenty of people there who really have no stake in the matter whatsoever who are just there because they heard fallout fans were all nuts and want to throw the rock at the hornets nests.

Repeat this everywhere on the net, and the entire community is gonna be on edge.



@Bob:

Well, they haven't actually promised to kill the leveling system. It's been altered so at to not be so far reaching, but "fit zone to player level" is still in there.
