Ron wins E3! Thanks for the great preview, Ron. The game sounds great, and I particulary like the whole "destroy whatever you want, if you want" stuff. I loved all the choices in the original Fallouts. Ron's Fallout 3 preview |

I loved all the choices in the original Fallouts. Ron's Fallout 3 previewIt was kinda funny. I was sitting directly next to Todd. They wouldn't let us record (even audio) the event so I literally transcribed 100% of what he said into my PDA. He kept looking at me like I was a man possessed, but I think it made for a great preview.  |

Ive read to the point where Todd entered Megaton. I had to stop to write this.
It says theres a loading screen when entering a town like Megaton. Umm why? Stalker did'nt do that. it only loaded zones. Is Fallout gonna load every town then every door like Oblivion?

Yes, there was a loading screen when entering a town. It is far shorter of a load time than Oblivion though. With a year to go, that could be so brief as not to matter. |

Having 2GB+ of RAM on a PC is a lot different than having 512mb of shared RAM on a console. No worries. Modders have had their hands on the engine for a while now, so I suspect we'll see those open city mods VERY quickly. |

I think having the loads for the towns is just another way of being true to the original Fallout/Fallout 2 experience. I remember a number of the load screens pretty fondly.

Eh, that's one memory I think most of us would be willing to look past. |

Modders have had their hands on the engine for a while now, so I suspect we'll see those open city mods VERY quickly. Oh, no worries. It took Texian and I so long to create Open Cities simply because it was our first ever Oblivion mod. Now that we have so much experience with it an OC mod for Fallout 3 (which I hope to make if the game ends up good) shouldn't take nearly so long  . |

In other news, I read an interview with Jeremy Soule today where he said he's not making the music for Fallout 3. Yay!

Very, very nice job, Ron. I think having the loads for the towns is just another way of being true to the original Fallout/Fallout 2 experience. I remember a number of the load screens pretty fondly.
Eh, that's one memory I think most of us would be willing to look past. What about the Fallout 2 bug where your car, with a trunk full of items, would just disappear and be lost forever? That was a fun one! |
