I'm pretty sure Beth'll be doing FO4. They might ask Obsidian to do another non-numbered entry, though.zkylon said:

Obsidians super writing needs to grace the Fallout universe once again.

This might seem a bit weird, but I'd be happy if they didn't work on Fallout again to a degree. New Vegas is incredible, it's my favourite game of all time, so any Obsidian follow-up would have crazy big shoes to fill. Also, it's worth remembering that NV is the product of two dev cycles, and years of planning and preparation. Much of what makes New Vegas great has been kicking around in one form or another since Van Buren.
Anyway, I'd rather see them make some new and unique IP, which is kind of what they tried with AP. Let's just hope they can hang on to the license this time.

Man I wish Obsidian did a new Vampire the Masquerade game.
Also, I hope Bethesda either makes FO4 along with Obsidian or they let them do a New Vegas like sequel.

Most people will agree Old World Blues is the best of the bunch, but they're all worthwhile and follow a story arc that's best played in order: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road. So i'd say wait for christmas sales and if there isn't a GOTY edition by then, there's probably gonna be discounts on the DLC, at least on Steam.Marvie_3 said:
Based on my complaints (don't discuss how valid or not they are), would New Vegas be a better game for me?
Though I will probably not get it until after I am done with Fallout 3 and the November greatness. Mostly asking due to being curious about it. Good RPG games have their time so eventually it would be New Vegas time for me.

Good. And in addition to that it also has more quests? At least wiki seems to show that. And they are more meaningful too? Seems an improvement in the areas that interest me. How about enemy variety and dungeon location variety rather than outside environment variety. I mean does it have many tunnels/stations and are they similar looking?
Reuenthal said:
Offhand I am not sure if the total is higher. It's probably close in the vanilla game. I'd say they are definitely more meaningful though as many of them tie into either the main quest line or a faction system that is not present in FO3.
As for enemy variety, it's definitely better than FO3 in that regard. There's no tunnel system or anything like that so there's a bit less repetition in those kinds of environments, though there are definitely stilll some environments that will feel familiar.

I went in at 17 I think. Should be fine. Some of the robots could be a challenge if you dont have the right skill sets though.Kerub said:

So GAF, I'm about to play this. Should I do the hardcore mode? Reading up on it, it seems like it might get annoying after a while.
PolarBearsClub said:
nah, it actually becomes kinda useless mid-game or earlier, you rarely have to go out of your way to do the hardcore stuff, but its a really good plus and certainly adds to the game if only a bit. Id personally recommend going Hardcore AND getting the Wild Wasteland perk.

Cool. I'll try it out and get the perk as well. Thanks!
Not so easy. Hard to make a spiritual sequel when actual sequels are being shelled out by a big company like Bethesda. Wouldn't be so easy, either, to get a publisher to put all the cash needed to make something as big. Their best bet is making FO4's New Vegas, and i hope they get to do it. Another option would be to work on a Wasteland sequel, now that the IP rights are back in the hands of Brian Fargo.Massa said:
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we see no more Fallout until the beginning of next gen. FO 4 could basically coincide with the next set of consoles the same way Oblivion did for 360, coming out a little while after launch.
Though if the new Skyrim tech is indeed as big of an improvement over Oblivion/FO 3 as it seems, then maybe they put it out towards the end of these consoles to take advantage of using it on systems they know so well. Seems like less likely to me than the beginning of the next gen, but you never know.

Yeah, I think the next Beth game will probably be a launch game for the next-gen consoles.
