Ah, there are going to be some fun times ahead with this...Bethsoft has opened the official Fallout 3 forums. Have at it.
More information.
More information.
2) Nudity
I guess it's about time. Let's just hope that the devs will actually read the posts there from time to time, and that the forums won't turn into a total flame war...
Anyway, one comment on that forum made me laugh pretty hard:
"Yes, an intelligent mans game play flows from good games . But beware of Oblivion. Bad level scaling, linear combat, and bad interfaces. Bad, are they. Easily they flow, quick to be added to make a sale. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you, it will... as it did the Elder Scrolls."
Well I would be thrilled if number 1 were modded well.However, my friend Scratx pointed out that three things will get modded and fast with Fallout 3 if it came with a toolset
1) Turnbased combat
2) Nudity
3) Kill everything including children
I commented that he was not only right but it would be done evangelically. I might also add that a lot of Vulgar dialogue would be added as well. Any feature I'd want would likely have any or all of that garbage strung along with it.
I'm not not fearing the game OOB as much as the modding of it to make it unplayable.
You forgot making everything in 3rd person only, and the opportunities for sex and drugs. It wouldn't be a genuine FO without those as well!!
Nudity and drugs were well modded into morrowind allready. Nude mod even came with two versions: adult one (with) and teenage one (and without pubic hair). The quality of the mod was very high.
Well I would be thrilled if number 1 were modded well.
Your comment about mods being bundled with "garbage" certainly doesn't apply to the modding Oblivion had, which made the game significantly more enjoyable.
And the last bit: I don't know if you knew this, but you're not actually obligated to use mods, any mods. So fear not! if you're convinced the expected mods are going to ruin everything, how about not using them?
Turnbased combat is something likely rooted too deep within the engine mechanics to be simply modded, at least in a decent way. It would not be possible to mod decent turn-based gameplay into MW or Oblivion with the tools provided (although amazing things have been done with script extenders etc.). Workarounds and something resembling round based combat may be possible eventually by modding, but for truly satisfying turn based combat, either Bethesda does it, or it's not gonna happen
I don't want sex and drugs in the game. It just makes the thing sick. I'm surprised you'd want that Corwin.
