New Fallout 3 preview. This is going to be the best RPG ever

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/fallout3/news.html?sid=6195314&tag=topslot;title;1&om_act=convert&om_clk=topslot

This game is shaping up to be an incredible RPG. I mean just read that preview. A boy asks you to look for his father. You find him in his house dead. You can then return to the boy and give him the bad news by either saying:

"Bryan, I'm sorry, but your father is dead,"

"Your father's dead,"

or

"Sorry kid. Your old man is ant food."

I mean this is a game that offers choices! Look at those choices! And what's even more incredible is when you say the last option,the kid says "you're an a**hole."

This is just brilliant material right here. It just shows how amazing the mind over at Bethesda are. Instead of crying over his fathers death,the kid calls you an a**hole Truly brilliant writing.

I mean you can choose to be good or bad OR EVEN SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN!

Your thoughts on this work of art?

Selectable dialogue!!!!!?????

WOW THAT'S NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!

But the dialogue is so incredible! Instead of just saying it,you can say it in three different ways.

Sure,there's no option to lie to the kid and tell him his dad is alive and in the house,the kid would then go to the house and be in for a shock. But it's ok,because it's Bethesda. After all,THEY MADE OBLIVION!!!!!111!

OMGZ DA CHOYSIES!!!!!!

I vote FO3 for greatest creation for all of mankind.

I'm not trying to downplay the good things about selectable dialogue, it's just not a bragging right anymore.

No you are wrong because the dialogue is just genius. THIS is how you make an RPG,you give the player CHOICES!

Cool. reminds me of a million other RPG's.XenoNinja

No this will be the best ever because you can shoot limbs off people and see slow mo death scenes. This mixed in with the incredible role playing and the choices to do or say whatever you want has the making of the greatest RPG of all time. MAYBE EVEN BETTER THAN OBLIVION (maybe lol)

That's truly incredible!

I mean, the only way they could top that would be to have multiple consequences depending on which option you picked...but I doubt that even mighty Bethesda could handle such mind-boggling innovations.

Well move over Suzy here comes a new king. I mean woaaaaah there, 3 choices to say the same thing with no forseeable change or significance to the story? That has GOTY...no, that has GOTG written all over it. FACT!

I believe you mean best "shooter." But even then you'd be wrong.

No you are wrong because the dialogue is just genius. THIS is how you make an RPG,you give the player CHOICES!stepat201

Apparently you missed the interview with Hines where they said choices are going to be downgraded in lieu of making every facet of the game as playable as possible in a singe run.

Whatever you're referring to as "choices" is a standard dialogue tree. Now, coming from Bethesda, people who are notoriously bad with such things, that example's pretty impressive by their standards. But what you're not taking into account is that many other actual RPGs have done it before them--And those games weren't turned into shooters. Fallout 1 & 2 for example.

I think you need some time to get up to snuff on the subject of Bethesda and the RPG dev community.

That is either the most sarcastic thing ever posted here on Gamespot or you are nuts. Fallout 3 is going to be the greatest RPG as Doom is the greatest RTS.foxhound_fox

why are people hating on Fallout 3 so much? I looks amazing

wow, what tough choices, i will not be able to decide which one of the 3 should i choose. maybe i should save the game before giving the kid a answernaval

Fallout 1 and 2 were 2d/partial 3D sky cam 1999 RPG's. This is the first next gen Fallout. Give it a break

Shoot, I was going to buy Fallout 3 too...

Now I won't buy it... I don't need another RPG... If you could call it that...

Emphasizing titular importance of someone over their substantive elements is elitism.

now with each of the 3 add the 3 responses of the kid and you get 9 endings

Game devs think that killing the main character to invoke emotion is to cliche....so them living would be better(even thought that is honestly so plaid out)jg4xchamp

So Bethesda wants fallout 3 to be a Cliche shooter, but not have a cliche shooter ending? :lol:

No i think you misunderstood me.

I mean that most would look at as the main character dieing as this big impact moment in a game....

but devs rarely have to jewels to actually kill the main character....I mean its either because they think its to cliche and simple(even though it is rarely done) or its to crazy of an idea.jg4xchamp

Well, they killed the series, why not kill all the main characters in it, amirite?
