Gotcha. I just found out though and I didn't know there was a thread on it.

It terrifies me. Fallout 3 was a shooter with elements of RPG. I mean, seriously. They could come up with much better improved GURPS after so long time of it's existance.

On the other hand, it does happen to be Obsidian doing the dev work... Some hope, at least.

Completely agree. Had barely any quests, too. I am not looking forward to when/how Bethesda kills TES5. I loved Morrowind, the oldest one I played, it was an amazing game. Oblivion was great, don't get me wrong..But it wasn't anything like Morrowind. But now I play Oblivion with more then 150 mods, and I like it much more.  ;D

Err, back on topic. Fallout 3- average game, Fallout 4- Lets hope for the best?

My senses tell me that Fallout 4 is going to be decent. Maybe even good.

With mods. :D

Fallout 3 features too simple RPG system for me. I like personalizing/planning my character, it's one of the most important things in RPG for me. Fallout 3 didn't have a lot of real "options" for that.

My hopes are slightly higher just based on the fact that it's Obsidian - aka one of the studios founded by the Black Isle guys after the Interplay collapse. So it has Fallout1/2 designers on board

Why's this topic called Fallout 4, yet links to a wiki article about a spin-off/expansion? Am I missing something here?

Because, while Bethesthda is stating that it is a spin-off/expansion, I am believing it to be a sequel, hence why I started the topic of Fallout 4.

I rather doubt Bethesda/Zenimax would allow a different company to create an official sequel after the last one was so financially successful.

I realize such cases are not unheard of. Bioware pulled such a stunt twice (with Obsidian at that). But somehow I find it easier to imagine Zenimax suing itself over intellectual property damage than allowing someone else to make an official sequel to a currently popular franchise and risk having the popularity die down.

Then.. the franchise is ruined :(

A pity, I rather liked the old Fallout. It's not looking back with rose-tinted glasses either, I actually play Fallout 2 all over again when the nostalgia hits me and end up loving it as much every time. Well, there's always new franchises. Like DF. I'm so going to write a hate thread on DF 3 in the future once it gets sold to EA.

Your not missing anything. I think the title of "Fallout 4" was just an attempt to get more people to view and post in this room since "Fallout Spinoff" would be a lot less eye catching.
