Fallout...
Upon hearing this game has a third sequel coming up...why did SJGames drop the chance to put GURPS into this?! Three games tends to mean a pretty good game.
I'm not blaming SJGames for not having precognitive abilities, but what I am wondering (definitely not for the 3rd game, too late) is if SJGames could (or has attempted to) work their name (at least) or even the idea of the GURPS system back into the Fallout series. As a way of revenue and advertisement.

Re: Fallout...
I think it would have been really cool. Probably not feasible, but cool nonetheless. Let's hope Fallout IV gets Powered By GURPS!

Re: Fallout...
I think from the get-go, Bethesda wanted to stick with the SPECIAL system, if only to appease some of the fans of the originals.

Re: Fallout...
Of the three or four versions of the story I've heard, I prefer the one told on the illuminator of the year in question.
Specific instances include: January 13, 1997 February 12, 1997 February 19, 1997 March 14, 1997

Re: Fallout...
My original questions:
1.) Why did SJGames drop the ability to advertise GURPS in the Original Fallout? 2.) Has SJGames attempted to reinstate GURPS into the Fallout Series or are they willing to do so possibly w/ Fallout IV seeing as doing so w/ III is too late?

2) This seems highly unlikely. At this point, Bethesda has made a decision as to which system it's using for Fallout, it's one that is known to Fallout fans, so a change in direction like that wouldn't seem to accomplish anything. It is my understanding that Steve Jackson Games continues to look for companies to partner with in this kind of exercise, but I think the "Fallout powered by GURPS" ship has sailed.

Re: Fallout...
Just restating the original questions so people could better understand them, but thanks for the answers.
