The "Scorched Earth Saga", meaning AQFH saga for Fallout 3 has ended.
For several reasons.
First of all, the outdated game engine of Fallout 3, with AQFH 3 - Deep Blue it was reached the maximum potential for visual, audio and gameplay for a quest and adventure mod.
One of the "trademark"of the AQFH series was established first by Firelady and it was the original and impressive visual appearance. This trademark was maintained during all the episodes, improved and enlarged leading to the impressive Deep Blue.
Another trademark of the AQFH series was the sound track... almost every level or situation has his unique music.
Also the ingame sounds.
It was also a first, introduced by Firelady in Episode 1 and maintained and enriched during episode 2 and 3.
A second reason why the AQFH series for Fallout 3 has ended was the fact that my real life had changed dramatically, in a good way, my spare time to work to such mod was drastically reduced.
The third reason was... well... the "community" behaviour.
Frankly I get tired and angered at that time by the numerous virulent and offending comments towards me and mine and Firelady work.
I have not ""inherited" AQFH3... I have WORKED directly to Episode 2 and managed entirely Episode 3, most of the level design from Episode 2 and almost all from Episode 3 was my work.
I have read comments related to Episode 3 like: "half of the work in Deep Blue was done by others" or "the author has disrespect for customers ( ?!!) "... of course where else,at Nexus...
A user who don't even bothered to vote for Episode 3 here on Mod DB, say that it would donate if this is the only condition to play more "updates"for AQFH... it wont be the case, AQFH was and is totally free, nor Firelady or me have requested something for our "baby".
And answering to the same user, I DO have a problem to allow someone else to continue this saga.
First of all, for quality reasons, the AQFH series was the ONLY series who was evolving from good to great, with every episode the quality bar was raised higher and higher.
I seriously doubt that someone will have the skill, the imagination, the will, the passion to work months after months and to came up with something AT LEAST similar to Episode 3.
For all the reasons above ( and a few other more personal), the AQFH series for Fallout 3 is ended, all support is ended, Episode 3 DLC "Codename Icarus" and WIP "The Iron Dream" are both canceled.
IF it will be A Fallout 4, who knows, maybe the story of Gabriel Darvari and the Wonderboy will continue...
Until then... I continue working with U4 engine at AQFH - Nightfall.
Best wishes to all
I'm not sure what you mean by 'vote for episode 3'. I'm not too familiar with how ModDB works. I only joined originally because I couldn't get AQFH from the Nexus. My apologies if I missed something important.
