A new fallout game was just announced! I’ve loved this genre ever since the original, Wasteland. I played that game and Fountain of Dreams for many, many hours. I think i’ve played them both through in every way possible. And then Fallout 2 and then Fallout 3 came along.

I liked the Fallout 3 mechanics. The only thing that disappointed me was the level cap. Hopefully they’ve fixed that, or will fix that, before releasing the game.
