Black Isle Studios, the company responsible for the Fallout series has been disbaned by the almighty Interplay. I'm implore those in Taldren who know the folks at Interplay to voice their disagreement here. BIS was a fabulous group of people, and worked just as hard as the folks at some other place I know.

I read about this earlier this week ,and was really saddend by the loss of Fallout three.

That game had a sound track that really reached out and grabed me.

I didn't really follow it long enough to hear all about FO3. Care to fill me in a bit?

I remember Baldur's Gate had fine some music.

Fear not, the core of Black Isle is up and running as an independent studio for some time now... I won't say more for even that is too much.

Tis positive.

Outside of It being a follow up to the first two for the PC, I really don't know. some of them had just called It ann Unkown Project, until what's his name left. Then the Rumors started circulating. I know It was going to e for the PC, but beyod that, It's good news.

Erik-
that is also good news indead. I hope It works out for them

Well this is supposdly from the FO3 build that was showed to interplay muckity mucks. http://www.nma-fallout.com/fallout3/fo3mm.png. Looks pretty good too bad we will probably never see anything more then that instead we get more FOBOS.

Most of the crew of BIS are good people, and my heart goes out to them, at least those I know who still might be there. But Interplay stopped being Interplay a long time ago. Hopefully the scattered seeds of that company will bear better fruit elsewhere.

Erik if you're hinting that you've been working with the BIS core group, I'm now in love with you.

Sirgod · « **Reply #11 on:** December 11, 2003, 04:20:26 pm »

Dash, I don't know if you can swing It, But places like wal-Mart, target etc. still have Fallout 1/2 for about 10 bucks man.

I really think you would like such a game. And If you can't find It, at least try and locate wasteland On line. that was the game which really started the Genre, that Fallout so excellently followed.

I am kinda surprised, I know most of us have Played the BG/IWD series, and this conversation seems to be Dominated With Fallout. Not that that's a bad thing, Just an observation.

Sirgod · « **Reply #13 on:** December 11, 2003, 04:39:00 pm »

I must have misunderstood you then, Well go ahead and DoTell what the game is? You might be thinking of Bards Tale, Which a few of us have known about for a while. Not sure who the Design House was that Brian Fargo went to though. Or If he started his own.

heh Wouldn't It be Cool If taldren where working on a true RPG after B9?

I'll follow Erik's lead and not spill anything yet...plus...though I trust the things I've heard...they aren't 100% accurate all the time (like the SFC 3 thing I stated before it was announced, partially correct, but one fact was dead wrong about it...soooo).

Erik Bethke · « **Reply #15 on:** December 11, 2003, 09:33:16 pm »

Dash apparently knows and it is good to keep quiet. -Erik

Yeah after Thinking a bit, I half way decided, Is much wiser then alot of us others. I did a little sniffing around myself, And I have to say my admiration for him went up today.

Arrrrrrrgh! This is torturing me! Was it like this around here before they announced SFC3?

Then the Magic Photon arguement turned into the "What happened to the other races?" argument, and thus a little timeline was born...
