<div class="IPBDescription">Troika is dying..</div> Troika has apparently started to sell their furniture and has been laying off staff <b>even before Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines has been finished.</b>

Theyve also been working on what seems to be the spiritual successor to Fallout. Heres a video of the tech demo of it. <a href='http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php?action=file&file_id=654' target='_blank'>http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php...ile&file_id=654</a> We may never see the final product.


Byebye Fallout. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Id heard about it, but its tragic.

    That and Troika never had the Fallout Licence.

    What about Bethesda? They're doing Fallout 3.

    They also did Morrowind. Granted, the previews of The Elder Scrolls IV indicate that they learned from at least some of their mistakes in Morrowind, but overall, Morrowind is not liked by most Fallout fans.

    [edit]I should be more clear. NPCs in Morrowind have been described by at least one high-profile Fallout fan [read: long-running Fallout fansite staff member] as "Dialog vending machines." They're lifeless compared to NPCs in the Fallout universe, which is key.

    Meh, I'm a big fan of Fallout and Morrowind. I'm just saying this is in no means the death of Fallout, as Troika had nothing to do with F3, as far as I know.

    Troika was formed by the creators of the original Fallout. A post-apocalyptic RPG made by them would be a 'truer' Fallout than Bethesda's RPG with the Fallout3 license.

    One of the NPCs in Fallout, when asked what kind of things were going on around here, in the middle of a perfectly civil conversation, yelled PLEASE SAVE US FROM THE RADSCORPIONS. The conversation then ended.

    Yeah. Great writing there.

    It's better than having Elves (or was it Dark Elves in the case I'm remembering?) and Orcs that live in the same city have the same list of questions you can ask them, <i>and</i> verbatim equal responses.

    Shakespeare included a few pretty damn low jokes in The Tempest.

    GREAT WRITING, WILL!

    The interview Marik recently linked to raised my hopes, as well. We'll see.

    It would be a crime if a game was never made with that tech demo's engine. That video was awesome <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    That is an awesome tech demo...even though it seems like it's running slow, even on that computer. I figure as long as an attempt at an M rated theme (not sure what FO was...or if it was even young enough to get them), to fill in the realistic (...for a post apocalyptic storyline) responses in conversations.

    Although for a game that lets you run around in your underwear and get attacked by beasts while it's raining, Morrowind fits in fairly good, it's just missing the violence, sex (that's not show anyway) and swearing.

    [and drugs, can't forget drugs...hopefully they'll be more ...'use worthy' ]
