Hey guys and gals I think that they should add the secret vault from Fallout BoS in New Vegas and have all the gaurds wearing Vault-Tec Advanced Power Armor sound cool. :tops:

That Power Armor isn't canon, nor is anything in BoS for that matter.

I'd like to start my own poll:

That the rules of this board should be changed such that anyone mentioning F:Bos is immediately exiled.

Sometimes, it is a shame this board isnt a democracy...

The game should be forgotten, not be the inspiration for even the smallest thing.

Ok to say that some one should be exiled gust because they say what they are thinking and bevleave that others think that idea is a good one is a bit overkill dont you think?

What?

No, I think they should be exiled for mentioning F:BOS - The Fallout game which does not deserve the name. A terrible idea full of bad ideas.

Ok well what do you have against the game and I would like to see you make a beter fallout game.

Start here:

It doesnt cover the lot, but most of it.


To do that, I would first have to accept the argument that F:BOS is a fallout game. I do not.

There are some people here who I think are unfairly harsh on FO3, but their complaints do not even scratch the surface on F:BOS's crime to gaming.

Well it was made by Interplay, and it dose have the word fallout in it, so it is a fallout game or are you to stupid to realize that? Oh and PS the Brotherhood of Steel are in every fallout game, you are a smart one aren't you, your mom must be proud.

Wow. We're down to mother Jokes and insulting my inteligence, that was a huge jump down. I'll refrain from flaming back, as I've read the forum rules.

If you read the article I allude to, you'll see why F:BOS is not a fallout game. You can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig.

Edit: This is one of the most conclusive statements made on F:BOS, its in the article I linked This is from no less than a F:BOS Developer, quoted from the offical dev forum:




My Emphasis
Interplay exiled the game from Canon before they even released it.

Despite what you may think, that game is widely regarded as non-canonical garbage. Practically nothing that came from that game is labeled as canon, and beyond that, it's downright atrocious and nearly unplayable. Beside the point though, that armor looks... well, stupid. Fallout is supposed to be dark, gritty, mature, violent, and overall grim in vibe. That armor looks like something Buzz Lightyear would wear.

Ok you need to chill man your geting way to in to this and if you were smart you would see that fallout BoS is classified as a fallout game by wiki, and as you said you can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig and, you can get a stupid guy to say somthing is what it is not, but it is what it is.

You mean the article that starts with a warning saying this:



And then includes this in the opening paragraph?



Again, My Emphasis.

Look, if you want to talk about the merits (or more importantly, lack thereof) of F:BOS, then fine - Drop the insults. Perhaps I was a little extreme in my original post on this particular thread... But it is a terrible game, and isnt fallout at all.

Wow man I never said article and any way even is something is not in a canon for what ever topic you are talking about it dose not mean that it is not important to some people I.E gust because the bible dose not include all holy texts dose not mean that those texts are not important to others so my point is that just because something is not a part of the whole dose not mean that it is not a part.

Its not that its not part of the canon. It *Contradicts* the canon in so many places its ridiculous - The Canon was almost completely ignored, not by accident, but by design.

But the major reason its hated is It takes a twisted view of what fallout is about (Shooting things, the Apocolypse, hokers, and Power Armour). That, and its a terrible game in its own right. The Wiki's reception section shows its poor review scores.

Well a twisted view is beter than no view. Oh and do you think that fallout 1 & 2 are any beter?

Fallout 1 and 2 are deep, complex and lengthy RPG games with a strategical combat system, loads of quests, many interesting dialogue trees, and various factions to join. So yes, I'd say anyone would like those, considering how good of an alternative it is to BOS.

Well they are deep but I have to say the games are older and out of date and anyways the games were not good when it came to combat but I guess you could say that fallout BoS was not anywhere close to fallout 3 in any thing.

Two important things.

First, Fallout: BOS is an acceptable topic on this forum. I know most people don't like the game and that's fine, but that doesn't give you permission to trash someone's thread about the game. As with all threads, if you can't stand the topic then don't post in it. This thread could have been quickly and constructively wrapped up after Talonfire's initial comment that Bethesda doesn't consider BOS to be canon. Instead it was pulled in to an off topic debate about whether BOS was a good game or not, which quickly turned nasty.

I considered cleaning the thread up and reopening it but given yodog999 willingness to up the ante with the insults I think it would be best to just leave the topic be. I am not handing out any official warnings for this thread, but please keep in mind that several of you crossed the line here and chances are you will not get the same leniency if you act up again.
