    You gave nice idea for Fallout, vault 384 (average distance between earth and moon, in kilometres) build beneath surface on the moon. In this alternate USA new missions were sent to moon to inflate NASA budget and beat China, somehow. Player leaves failing vault and goes around the moon seeing abandoned bases with insane astronauts and robots. With full hopes hero reaches one last shuttle but finds out that nuclear war happened and there is nothing to return to.

    Amnesia: The Bunker basically follows the "Looking Glass" and "Troika" principles but condensed those down to a relatively short "System Shock/Vampire Bloodlines"-esque Horror experience. I'd imagine that a 3D Horror game made by Tim could accomplish many of the same things. Would love to see what he would come up with but can highly recommend The Bunker nonetheless.

The biggest, most legendary studios of the golden era, companies like Blizzard, iD Software, Ocean, Core, etc ... they were started by and RAN BY the same creative geniuses that made the games. Wasn't until the mass corporate buyout of the mid 2000's and the subsequent shift to console / casual markets that BUSINESSMEN started to call the shots, as allocated by the new board of directors.

    It's so interesting to hear you talk about your time with Troika. I wasn't doing any gaming in the period where games by Troika were taking off, so I only picked up Arcanum and Bloodlines in the 2020s. And even this much later on and with no awareness of how it played back then, I could see how much of a labour of love they represented. It feels oddly comforting that these games which "speak" so impactfully came during a period that you talk about with so much energy looking back on.

    Bloodlines was a real mess at the time. There was a game breaking bug at the end of the first zone and if you didn't have internet you couldn't get it patched. Eventually the community made a really good set of fixes for the game that became mandatory to play it properly. But even though that happened, the love for Troika at the time from the public was immense and I think we were all sad to see them fold.

    So it comes down to the pitch containing something new and fresh of significance. So if Tim were to return to Fallout, off the top of my head: -He’d be working in Bethesda’s Creation Engine for the first time -It would be his first 3D Fallout game, and a chance to have an intimate look at just how far the series has come since he’d started it -No crunch time like Fallout 1 & 2-presumably, knowing how Bethesda likes to operate and how hands off Microsoft is, Tim would have all the time in the world to make a Fallout game just the way he’d like it -Depending on the setting and how far the timeline moves forward, its genre could be less post-apocalyptic and a little more “rebuilding” i.e post post-apocalypse -Building off the second point, it could prove an interesting experience to work on a triple A ip as large as Fallout-what with the TV show and all the supplemental material like the tabletop games, how would he go about navigating the game without creatively impeding others working on Fallout projects and the other way around; how to work together to keep things in sync. Could prove a challenge, but maybe the fun kind. To work with different people outside of the games to create something bigger than the game itself. -And building off that last point, working on a new Fallout game is also an opportunity to work on the TV show. We know that Bethesda and Amazon worked very closely together to make sure everything was up to standard, and perhaps Tim would be interested in assisting in and/or working on the TV show i.e an opportunity to try something he hasn’t

    Hi Tim, I love this response, and it's great to see how you've been able to have this philosophy in your career. IMO, the gaming industry needs more people with this mindset, so it doesn't stagnate! With that, as far as with you working on a Fallout game again, one of the things I've been saying for years that would make Fallout fresh again is to introduce more character types to play. How amazing would it be to play as a Ghoul, Robobrain, Synth, or a Supermutant? The Fallout world offers so much opportunity for player choice and expression, so being able to have different character types even further expands that. Now, that would be a good Fallout game, one with meaningful and impactful player choice!

Fallout 1, played it an absurd amount. arcanum i fell in love with that universe and all the weird kinks, the magic the tech, lots of bugs, but it was worth it, and then vampire: bloodlines which i regard as the best rpg ever made, No one game comes even close to the feel, the mood, the dialog, quest lines, sad the ending was battle heavy, but otherwise a master piece.

    Just want to thank you for all your games. I bought Fallout on PC in around 1998 or so, I was ~9 years old and it was the first game I had ever bought after playing a demo from a PC Magazine CD ROM. Saved up my allowance to buy it. My mother was in the store which I guess the cashier took for approval - pretty sure it was an R rated game in New Zealand! Fallout, Arcanum and Vampire are in my top 5 all time RPGs, the other 2 being Deus Ex and Gothic 2. I always felt your games were so ambitious - Arcanum for example, so many mechanics. Thank you for all the great memories.

    I understand your comment regarding not knowing an engine until you make something with it. I'm not a game designer, never wanted to be one. But there have been some mods for Fallout 4 that I wanted, no one had made them, so I decided to do it myself. Well, not really full blown mods, but more like tweaks. Since Bethesda had included the Creation Kit with my Fallout 4 GOTY, I dove in to see what I could do. I found an awesome tutorial on how to do what I wanted to do and I got it done! But that is one intimidating piece of software! I've been using computers since October 1979, as a programmer, for entertainment, business and even as a CG artist. I've used a lot of software in my time. But the Creation Kit is number one for sheer intimidation and learning curve.

    Hi, Tim! I'm playing Arcanum right now, and absolutely loving it! It's got something so special about it, but I can't put my finger on only one thing that makes it special for me! Maybe it's the combination of this different and unique setting, with a fantasy world that is going through the industrial revolution, and great writing! I would absolutely love for you and the folks at Obsidian to make an Arcanum 2, as that would be so great :D I am also replaying Fallout, this time with a low-intelligence character, and having a great laugh at how the world reacts to a dumb Vault Dweller hahaahah At the same time, it makes the game a lot more difficult, as many character simply don't want to talk to you, and so you have to figure out different ways to do things (which makes it so interesting!) Ah, and I recently got a job as a back-end web developer, and while working one of the things that I love to do is to listen to Ambient/Industrial/Noise music, which means that Aphex Twin (which I know you're a fan of!) and Fallout's soundtrack are always playing on my headphones. For some reason this kind of music helps me a lot to concentrate! Have a good day and an awesome week, Tim!

    I can relate to going for what you want to do, rather than going for the money or striving higher up the ladder. I used to work as a programmer, which was fine in itself (though the specific company was not optimal), but despite proper exercise, ergonomic workplace, and other precautions, I ended up with a bad back and just couldn't sit at a desk for any significant amount of time. So I looked for some physical job and ended up as a janitor. Maybe not the most intellectually challenging job, but on the contrary it allows me to think about other hobbies, like writing or, ironically, programming (which I still do in more moderate amounts). For me that works much better, despite the pay cut. Not having any overtime (more like the reverse if it's not much to do) helps a lot too.
