Preorders for Star Wars: The Old Republic just opened this morning.

Also I just saw that there's a Fallout MMO coming.

I'm gonna be single forever. :-/

I'm definitely pre-ordering it with the hopes that "early access" means beta at some point. I'm very sad I haven't gotten into beta yet.

wut. This...is awesome.

As long as they have an actual class system instead of the "instagimp" abstract skill system Fallen Earth uses, it'll be possible. There's a lot of room for some great content there.

Too bad V.A.T.S. can't make the translation though

That's true. I guess their hope is to take the setting & control scheme moreso than the actual game. Removing VATS and changing the leveling system are HUGE changes

Absolutely. The only thing that really CAN survive the translation process is content and "flavor." Everything else has to change, from the console-like interface to the levelling system.

They've got a leg up with the way they've been going with crafting and such.

It can work. But it's definitely not going to be Fallout 5 (or whatever that number would end up being.)
