Yeah I have known about this for quite awhile now and I am looking forward to what they have in store for us. There is an article here in the magazine about Lockwood and their new fantasy line that has a link to this as well. It is about time that someone considered the huge followers of RPG’s in Home and cashed in on it. Lockwood is always on top of these things it seems.

I don’t want to break any American embargo here, but I can only assume you’ve heard of Mercia that’s coming to Home soon? If not, here’s a link to the developers progress so far…

Seems you’ll be spending even more time in Home Burbie, if that’s possible lol

I actually owned Fallout and didn’t care for it much. I am not generally a “shooter” fan though. I tried it for awhile then turned it in for another game. I have more of a fantasy bent so it didn’t really turn me on that much. Skyrim on the other hand has all of the fantasy elements I love. I know several people though who loved the Fallout series, so that’s not to say it isn’t a good one, just not my style.
Thanks for the input!

True Bonzo, New Vegas is a different animal to FO3. The little bits of greenery of the surrounding areas seem a little less “Fallout” to me though. I think there’s quite a bit of humor in the FO games, it’s just a kinda dark humor though. If you (Burbie) were to find the Game of the Year version of FO3, you’d be playing for months and months. Also, The Book of Eli I mentioned is a film/movie, which I forgot to say in my previous post.

For me, FO3 really captures the wrath of a nuclear aftermath, it’s the little things (just like Skyrim) like finding half a house in the middle of the wastelands, and the remains of a man in the bath tub that didn’t see the explosion coming that give it that tragic kind of dark humor.

Fallout is an awesome game, but total different feel than the Elder Scrolls world. It is more drab and serious than the fantasy world escapism. I love both franchises, with New Vegas as my favorite in Fallout but certainly a completely different experience, even though it has the same mechanics.

Burbie, if you’ve ever had even the slightest interest in 1940’s America and/or the cold war or nuclear fallout, I URGE you to take a look at Bethesda’s other game (the original creators will kill me for saying this) called Fallout 3. It’s umm, more “shooty” than Skyrim but it’s got the same depth and character growth as Skyrim. If you want a passive experience of it before you play, check out The Book of Eli to whet your appetite.

The frame rate may be a bit slower than Skyrim but it’ll still knock your socks off!

Yeah, this game so so deep I forgot to even mention that you can become a werewolf or vampire in it. I prefer to do the Companions quest and be a werewolf as it protects you from ever going vampire. It is the better one to have because it is a choice to use the power or not, instead of having no choice at all.
You can become so many different things in this game, I didn’t mention so many aspects like the Daedric quests because as you said I could have gone on forever trying to describe the depth of the game.
I believe this is the most detailed, in depth game that has ever been made, at least it is the best one I have ever played. You can tell from all that is in it that the developers put their heart and soul into this one.

Loved this game, and the previous ones a huge amount, maybe more than is healthy lol. I’ve racked up around 417 hours with a single save/character and still go into it to see what else I can do to improve my guy or his surroundings. It’s just so big, so infinite, and so damn beautiful!

I remember over-hearing a bunch of bandits talking about having the power to turn iron into gold once while sneaking around stealing their carefully hidden treasures, like every game most things are put there for a reason and after months of searching nooks and crannies I came across the ONLY book in the entire game that could grant you the power to do so. It’s still a great feeling that every scrap of iron ore I find, I can turn into expensive golden jewelry. I base my character’s motives on what I would personally do mostly, and when I contracted the vampire disease I saw it as my chance to just let loose. It was fun, but I had to seek out the only person who could remove the curse as I couldn’t take the fact I had to walk/ride everywhere due to being chased by whole villages at a time from not paying attention to my status! Anyway, I’d best shut up about this game since I could talk about it all day! Nice review Burbie.

Great Article Burbie and I agree 100% the game never gets old. I don’t even know how far i am in the progression of the story i get so caught up in side quests, but I haven’t grown tired of it yet. In fact i still play elder scrolls IV oblivion.

Careful with that, if you do back up your game save on a USB drive, a lot of people have reported a corruption of the save after uninstalling the game.

Uninstall your game, then reinstall it, it will take care of that water glitch for you and still have your saves.
