Fallout 3 Forum Activity

Community manager Matt Grandstaff has clarified the recent comment from the IGN week of Fallout 3 that if you wait 24 hours the townsfolk "will have forgiven (or forgotten) your deeds". First he clarifies that it's actually 72 hours.
Here's a clarification I got from Emil. It's actual a 72 hours, not 24 -- so in gameplay time, it's a significantly longer period of time. Personally, I like it, because it doesnt mean I'm going to be shot at every place I go if I decide to mess around a little bit.
Secondly he explains it doesn't apply to all towns.
First, not EVERY place you visit will reset after the 72 hour period. Some places never will. Second, in places where things calm down, they will reference the fact that you caused trouble. It will come up in dialogue, etc.
This looks like a design decision that easily dukes it out in stupidity with Oblivion's level scaling. Way to break your own game.

Whatever happened to Radiant AI anyway?
