I made a mistake earlier when I said Amazon (I was a bit tired when writing that last night) I meant to say from interwise the publisher over here in Taiwan that released the game. Here is the website if anyone is interested...it's in chinese though, but you see a nice picture of the game
and there are a few English words in the description like "fallout" "Black Isle" "Damien Foletto" "RPG". They really stressed the Fallout tie in. Fallout was even popular over here
Sorta funny that when I walked into my usual software store the first game that the guy running the place showed me was this one and pointed directly at the english word "fallout" and told me it was in English. They know me pretty well at that store lol.

You can try to buy the game here but you need to register and then click the big button next the the game. I'm not sure if they will ship to other countries or that it will be even possible to navigate through the webpage if you don't know chinese "I had to have my friend help me translate most of the page."

Sorry about not being to help more and sending you to Chinese websites but it's the only place I can find it now.
I just finished the training course and making my character which is done when you give this guy a passport thing and then it takes you to a window that lets you customize your character. It has the usual Fallout skills in it with some added twists. Like the technical skill that let's you make and combine different objects you find into something better. I haven't found anything to make yet but I pumped that sucker up to 55 because once I do find something I want to make it
.
The training grounds had me shooting cardboard cutouts of bad guys as fast as I can. Since this was my first time I didn't go too fast but there was no punishment other than "Next time try to go faster" lol.
The dialogue is done well. I don't get the feeling that it is a translated copy like I did in The Witcher sometimes. They have the usual dialogue choices like being a total jerk or helpful guy. There are some inbetween choices too but mostly you can be a jerk or not. I've only talked to the president so that may change later. Anyways I'm off and I hope they release the game somewhere near you because so far it really is great.
@Gorath I'm thinking you got it right. I've been to SilverStyle and there isn't any mention of the release of the game anywhere. They have some news about the English build and screenshots but that's about it. This is pretty weird that even on their website they would be quiet about releasing the game. The only thing that isn't done in the game is the speech. Everything else seems to run nicely and no crashes yet.
Whoever they did for the translation is absolutely wonderful. I hope CdProjektRed gets the guys who did the translation for this game because it feels like a western release. Without any weird use of slang or sentences that just sound wrong.
@Dhruin I'm curious but do you know why they didn't release it? Bugs or funding problems? I can see a lot of people being turned off by not having speech in it but other than that it seems like good game. They even have RTwP feature to appeal to the masses instead of a TB game like the real fallout.
Edit:Just formed a team. I have five guys I can hire, all with different specialties. It reminds me a lot of Silent Storm. They've got a few ideas from it like weapon familiarity. The more you use a certain gun the better you are with it. I've got a guy trained in crime, martial arts, driving, firearms, medical and I'm survival with the technical skill pumped up. The manual is in Chinese so I'm learning as I go.
