I thought they had a Fallout MMO in the works as well.


If I remember correctly the MMO wasn't actually Bethesda, but Interplay who licensed the brand back from them. Unfortunately, they found out later that the licensing agreement did not include any of the Fallout lore or assets, so they were only allowed to make an MMO named "Fallout".

This resulted in a huge legal case which basically killed the project.

I think that resulted in Interplay resurrecting the Black Isle brand for a non-Fallout crowdfunding project using the assets that would've gone towards the MMO.

I'm sure I'm getting the details wrong here though, so hopefully someone who remembers the details better can clarify.



^ That was more or less the gist of it. Project V13.

No Mutants Allowed is one of the older Fallout fansites, they have the whole ordeal there in detail.

Here's where the project is supposedly at now
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Project_V13

The original Fallout 3 was codenamed VanBuren and got canned the first time Black Isle shut it's doors but recently Avellone has started talking about it again.

It was more in-line with FO1-2 than the newer ones are. Many of the ideas from Van Buren made it into Obsidian's New Vegas, which is where Avellone is now. It would be so cool if they somehow resurrected the old isometric sequel over at Obsidian while Bethesda makes Fallout 4 proper.

Played FO3, enjoyed it immensely. Started playing FONV, heard about Tale of Two Wastelands (combined FO3 and FONV with FONV engine), and decided to wait for more polish on To2W to play both, together. Now I gotta wonder, will FO4 eventually be incorporated into a "threefer" mod? =0[.]o=

I'd recommend just playing FONV on it's own. It's completely self-contained and I don't think there's necessarily a benefit for playing through one and then bringing an endgame character into the other.

Ah, glad they're releasing a Fallout game. Didn't really like the last two TES games they put out.

I just like the idea of continuity of character, especially since the two games take place within a relatively narrow time frame. I've seen plenty of let's play footage of FONV, so I dun think I'll be missing out on too much, especially as I'd be playing heavily modded. =^[.]^=

Not that hyped to be honest, Bethesda is as mediocre and overrated as Bioware. If Obsidian made the game (like FONV) I'd be hyped.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
The last F4 info was a fake started by a reddit post^^

Decent trailer. Looks like it isn't a cross gen game, but it certainly looks like one. Graphics aren't everything I guess... let's hope it will be easily moddable.
