Talking Fallout 3

So who else is stoked about Fallout 3 being in production (codenamed Van Buren). I know I am. I've been waiting years for this.

Is Van Buren really Fallout 3?

I love this series and would really like to see a FO3. The end of FO2 leave things wide open for more scenerios. I thought FO2 did a wonderful job with the new weapons and armor (Bozar, Tesla armor, Impulse rifle, etc.) and would hope that any sequel would have some other new and intriguing items. I also eagerly anticipate Thief 3.

Well it's not official but everyone is talking about it on the Interplay boards, including/especially the designers. If Van Buren isn't Fallout 3 then J.E. Sawyer and the rest of the designers are playing a very elaborate and involved joke on everyone.

By the sounds of it if it isn't Fallout 3 all your going to have to do is write it on the box.

It's cool how all the "Gun" skills have been merged. That way I don't have a guy who can use a minigun accurately but can't handle a 9MM pistol. I also like how ammo is being limited and how a little more focus is being put on melee weapons. Apparently there'll be swords (made out of old car bumpers and the like). Especially cool is how scientists are a little worse at fighting, but have the unique ability to create bullets

I dunno about the guns, since when did knowing how to hold a 10mm mean you can fire a bazzoka. If there were penalties for the big guns (They should take more practice) so you need more skill would be a good offset.

I like the less ammoness.

YES Scientist will be improved.

I have to agree with Craig on this one

Knowing how to aim a small hand gun is by far the same as aiming and handeling a bigger weapon. (Learned this in the army).

Knowing how to fire a rifle didn't make me better at firering anti-tank weapons or lighter machineguns even.

Of couse you know wich way to point it and sometimes what trigger to pull (sometimes )

I don't like a merging of gun skills (not that likely will stop me from playing it )

Who owns the stuff of FO3 that has already been made? I mean, cant the team just make the game and sell it to other publisher or publisher sell to other publisher ? or what
