Actually, they used the codex threads as a design doc. How better to ensure commercial success?

J1M is correct, as usual. Bethsoft developers took teh Codex threads and inverted them. They were left with something acceptable to the mainstream.

Basis for this conjecture -- http://www.nma-fallout.com/content.php? ... poll_id=25
#1 most despised potential feature of FO3 : Lack of 50s setting
#2 First Person
#3 Real Time combat
Recent reviews/previews state that the humorous setting is axed, and we all know that first person and real time combat is in, so they pretty much rejected the Fallout fans anti-wishlist. We're stuck in old times man, old times.

Because they are evil. This is obvious.

But what if the grannies are even more evil?

I see another nice chit chat about Bethesda, so I decided to tell you a little story, completely true story, that my friend just told me, he just got back from USA a few days ago.

My friend's nickname is Yuri. Some months ago we were chating online about his life in USA and among many funny things he mentioned that he lived quite near Bethesda HQ. So I said to him something like: neat, do me a favor, go there and tell them how they fucked up Oblivion. You know, a small joke.

But Yuri didn't find it funny and actually went there, where he was very nicely welcomed by some secretary. Then he demanded to be directed to complaints department. Secretary was very confused, said that there's not any (weird, ha?) and call up some bossie and Yuri said:
"Hi, I'm Yuri from Poland, I was asked by my friend from Poland, to tell you that you completely fucked up Oblivion"

Bossie was absolutely and completely shocked, didn't know what to say, at the end he gave Yuri his business card and said that if we would have any more "suggestions" in the future about their future titles, we are encouraged to contact him directly.

Which we gladly will after F3 will hit the stores shelves.

The End.

Up way, way past my bedtime.

I am absolutely certain that if this did actually happen, that the "Bossie" will be sure to make sure Bethesda developers will implement any and all suggestions that "Yuri" & "Some other kid from Poland" will give him in the future. :lol:

Oh and, declineofthecodex.

Bossie was absolutely and completely shocked, didn't know what to say, so they got in a little fight and Yuri's mom got scared and said you're moving with your aunty and uncle to bel-air. He whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and it had a dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare But he thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air.

He pulled up to a house about seven or eight and yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later. Looked at his kingdom and he was finally there, to settle on his throne as the prince of bel-air.
Fixed.

No you don't understand because you have played it; played the Bethesda game I mean. That is to say you've been thoroughly stroked, poked, and fag touched. You are at one with the game because you're enjoying some of that good 'ol Pete sauce. Doesn't the Pete sauce feel good trickling down your throat, tickling your tongue, and stroking your tonsils?

But no, you're not gay either! No one can call you gay until they experience such pleasure. Gay is merely a hollow expression for a richly, juicily, suckling experience that is Pete sauce. Then when you got AIDS from experimenting with herion needles, that was also something no one else could understand. "You gotta try it to cry it!"

What a beautiful mind, you great previewer you. You Dirty Harry of preview slinging! You are the Christ, the water walker, and the sin reducer. You are letting us into a little piece of heaven. Fallout 3 is heaven, and you cannot say otherwise until you play it.

that wouldn't happen if it was the one true Yuri. I'm pretty sure he'd explain Bethesda the errors of their ways.
