OK, next question - where does Desslock get his numbers? Does he do
the research himself, or is he just repeating what he read somewhere
else? Your comment is without value.

Oh, yeah - that's "significant". Especially compared to the minor
changes made between Ultima games, like, say Ultima 6 and Ultima 7.
Right?

Yep, the boonies :)

Oh really? What does it "use"? Why don't you give me a clue? That's
what I live for, words of wisdom from Miles Lippincott...

>FO3 will not use it either. 

You seem to know a lot about a game that is not even in development.
Are you psychic?

I haven't seen this coment, kindly direct me to it. Good news indeed
if true!

I think it SHOULD be a surprise that Interplay didn't promote Fallout,
since Wasteland was far and away the most critcially acclaimed game
that Interplay ever did! Wasteland practically MADE Interplay.

Well, that was there mistake and our loss, then, wasn't it?
