<div class="IPBDescription">of Fallout fame. Interesting read.</div> Just spotted <a href='http://www.nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=12668' target='_blank'>this</a> on <a href='http://www.nma-fallout.com/' target='_blank'>No Mutants Allowed</a>. It's got some real interesting bits. Quite a bit of it is Avellone discussing characters and locations of Fallout 3...

In case you don't know who Chris Avellone is, he explains a bit...
<!--QuoteBegin-Chris Avellone+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (Chris Avellone)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->In Fallout 2, I cleaned up Vault City (and added a lot of quests and interaction that wasn’t there previously and believe it or not, downplayed some pretty nasty sexuality that was too offensive even for me), did the Raider Camp (which sucked), New Reno (which I will still defend as a fun location to play), and a number of secret encounters, including the Guardian of Forever. Fallout 2 was the first hardcore RPG I got to work on (Torment was going concurrently, but we weren’t able to lay out levels or enter much dialogue yet).<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

He did a lot of work on Fallout 3 (long live Van Buren!) before it was cancelled. Grr. Anyways, <a href='http://www.nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=12668' target='_blank'>read the first part of the interview</a> when you get the chance. The next part should come soon, when Odin posts it.

EDIT: There's some foul language in there, in case you're wondering.

    That was depressing.

    I wish Fallout would get back into the ring...

    A great pity, but on the positive side it gives me a chance to play the other RPGs that I really should have played already.

    Pretty interesting. It's kinda depressing, really. The way you read it, Interplay had two titles with 'gold' written all over them in development, and instead tried to go for the quick buck, with deserved consequences.
