None of those names mean a thing to me, and I've played every TES game including Arena!! I wonder if anyone doesn't know who Boo is?

I would wager that there would be a whole lot of disappointment at the very least, if they decided to not go with an isometric perspective. They might have been given the benefit of doubt, unlike Bethesda, but that's only because several of the original FO creators worked at Troika."The problem is that fans don't want a Fallout sequel that isn't isometric and turn-based."
Well that maybe true and justified for many or even most Fallout fans.
I would wager however that, if say Troika had decided to make a more variable view game, for instance with a cam similar to NWN2 to allow personal preferences of perspective views, to maybe see new and improved graphics or whatever, it wouldn't have an negative effect, even to the fans whom only want an Iso view.
That analogy is faulty: They're not making RoA 4, they're just making a new game that happens to be set in DSA-PnP-setting. If you had worried they might rape DSA's name, your complaint may have held some weight, but even so I suspect that the creators of DSA/their company had a say in licensing their franchise for Drakensang, meaning they would have themselves to blame. I just wish the Fallout developers had the same chance with FO3 (like, say, licensing it to themselves at Troika).Let me give you an example of fandom. Me. I'd consider myself a pretty big fan of the original Realms of Arkania trilogy that came to an end with Shadows over Riva in 1996. Ever since then there have been three attempts at games in the same world and setting (LMK, Armalion -both of which were cancelled- and Drakensang which is currently WIP).
Yes, which is why a lot of people look forward to Afterfall (if it ever even gets finished). Bethesda could easily have made their own post-apocalyptic FPS/RPG instead of (likely) besmirching the Fallout franchise further.A fan could appreciate something for what it was and not need to see it repeated a second time. That fan could want to try something that had never been done before -- like a first-person, real-time game in the Fallout milieu -- without wishing the original had taken that tack. I'm speaking hypothetically, since I fucking hated the mechanics of the first two games, but the idea that "a fan of something" must want to see that thing rehashed over and over is not necessarily the case.
My post should be read as a reply to hordespawn, discussing whether it was possible to be a fan of something and still desire try something new, not as a comment on what "a lot of people" would prefer. I don't care how the NMA crowd feels about Fallout 3.Yes, which is why a lot of people look forward to Afterfall (if it ever even gets finished).

think you're making wrong use of the term "fan". I really, really don't want to start another or continue the flame war from earlier (really, I don't ) but the people that you are probably referring to (regulars at RPGCodex and NMA) are not Fallout fans.
Eheheheh right, no need to reply to this, you really suck at reality
And you suck at quoting...
And you suck by ignoring that Drakensang is not a part of the RoA series while Fallout 3 will pretend to be so of the Fallout seroes.
And you suck by ignoring that Fallout 3 has not officially been announced yet but that it is so far only a working title of Bethesda that they may or may not use for the final product.
Bethesda Softworks® announced today that it will develop and publish Fallout 3 -- a sequel to the highly popular Fallout role-playing game franchise.
But thinking along those lines or admitting anything else would kill your hobby of Bethesda bashing and of being obsessed over a video game so feel free to continue ignoring any voices of reason.
You are the one with an irrational hatred for Fallout fans here, that is creating the parallel world where you live, spewing cliches while not contradicting any fact thrown at you, in the end coming with the Orwellian "Fallout fans are not fans".If yours is hating
Ow I see now, a rabid Beth fanboy. Damn why did I wasted time with you anyway?

"Drakensang" is just a name. It is effectively RoA 4. It doesn't really matter what it's called. Same with Fallout 3.
You seem to be only happy if you can hate.
Well, what can I say? Everone's got to have a hobby. If yours is hating -fine- please enjoy yourselves.
So if Redguard had great dialogue why wouldn't that be a proiority in a (any) RPG bethseda or anyone is making?
I am just not sure I can wrap my head around what Bethseda is thinking when they don't think dialogue is important.
Hmmm you do know that's the contract they signed with Interplay, to produce Fallout3 and with an option to Fallout4 and 5?

Nope. One of the developers has stated explicitely that they are not making a 4th Realms of Arkania, that it will not be related to the NorthLandTrilogy and that, guess what, it will be marketed inside germany as a DSA cRPG and outside Germany as a cRPG, not even using DSA in the title.
So *buzz*. Please get back to me when you actually have a clue what you're talking about.
There will be another press release in which they will announce the full title of the game, a tentative release date, a feature list and the platform(s) that the game is going to be released on. Mark my words and please spare a thought for me when that happens (not if because it will happen). Anyway, as I said, I'm not even doubting that they might name it Fallout 3 but it might also be something different. Point is: Why get your panties up in a bunch over a stupid name? Wait and see. Then judge.
Yeah, I know most of that ("most" because I didn't know that they dropped 'The Dark Eye' from the title for the English version... you sure about that? I was pretty sure that they wanted to co-promote the P&P system with the game so it would make a lot of sense for them to keep/insist on the 'Dark Eye' label) but what is your point anyway?
For the fans of the original games this is Realms of Arkania IV all the way.
It doesn't make a difference.
They are keeping an open mind and are waiting patiently for Radon Labs and dtp/Anaconda to publish more details.
As I said, you are not fans. You're unreasonable, obsessed haters. If you would be reasonable then you would accept that Fallout as you know it is dead and will never come back.
