So this is gonna sound really similar to a topic I made some months ago, nothing particularly exciting but heres the news anyway...
I don't know if this has been mentioned or anything yet but theres a small bit of talk about the game and a tiny screenshot in the latest PCG UK magazine (October).
It's in the 'This is hardcore' section where they talk about everything thats happening lately in all genres and is mentioned right after Fallout 3 where they manage to get in a few jabs at NMA and fallout fans.
I don't have a scanner, maybe someone else will be able to get the page up but this is what it all says:
'Some disgruntled forum inhabitants at www.nma-fallout.com have been wallowing in their own misery since finding out details of Bethesda's plans for Fallout 3. They're moaning about not being able to kill children and whether drinking from toilet bowls should be a feature. The subtext seems to be that because Fallout 3 doesn't look like the first two games then it is somehow evil. Here's an example of the posts on the forums.
"If half of the previers had any Fallout experience, we would've seen the occasional negative preview. As it stands, there isn't one. Not one from anyone that was there to witness the demo." Speaking as someone with plenty of Fallout experience, I loved what I saw. No conspiracy: a great demo of a promising RPG.
Fortunately for anyone who's determined that RPGs must not progress into first-person 3D, there are still games like Age of Decadence (pictured). It's post-apoclauptic, it eschews magic and it's indie. It's a game predicated on social interactions, cause and effect and plenty of dialogue options; it's pretty low-tech, but has plenty of features, such as the action-point based combat, that old school roleplayers will probably find comfortingly familiar.

It's written by the editor, Ross Atherton. Did they ever even get in contact about AoD since last time?

.o.S.2 is turn-based, I have read it countless times already.
