Two questions to VD

2 questions to VD:
- last time I heard, You were supposed to write a review of Fallout 3 for NMA. I know that it will take a lot more time for you to do it, as you won't get a prepared review from bethestapo. So, when can we expect to read it? Next month? This year? (I'm not trying to hasten you, just asking)
- second question. I'd really like to see an unbiased comparison of old Fallouts1/2 with Fallout3 (unbiased because I think it would show decline of the games a lot more then a lulzy one). Is there a possibility that you would write something like that? Maybe even few months after the review of Fallout 3 if you lack time, a comparison between ''good old'' games and the ''next gen'' ones shown on Fallout series?

I doubt that. There is nothing to compare. It's like comparing Bloodlines (and I'm not saying that FO3 is Bloodlines, of course) to Arcanum. Fallout 3 is not a Fallout game and shouldn't be reviewed as such.

That's why I wrote about a separate article that would compare ''good old'' games and the ''next gen'' ones. I'm not asking You to do it in Your Fallout 3 review. And of course there are things to compare - like dialogues, extent of skills influencing different things, complications of quests, and so on. Not comparison of Fallouts as such, but comparison of old vs new (which I expect to go in favour of old)

edit2.

I'm surprised that the game can be chalenging at some points but without tactics involved this would just amount to grinding but still it would be better than the feeling that you are playing in God mode with cheats enabled. How hard would it to add options to adjust the game difficulty? The way Fallout did it you start with all skills around 50% (not counting with perks effects and tagged skills) if you select easy difficulty setting, around 20-30% for medium and 5% for hard, or something like that. This would make the experience a lot better not only for hardcore players but also for players who become tired of an easy game in the middle and want to increase challenge.

I can't believe how dumb is Fallout 3. It isn't simply for retards. It is a fucking epitome of stupidity. I was expecting it to be very very dumb. But FUCK - that writing really caught me unprepared. Even Oblivion wasn't THAT dumb.
In moments like this I really wish Bethesda to stick with their retarded
- Megaton
- Rumours
than writing this horrible shit.
