FAQ, or how to avoid asking bad questions news

Below goes a list of frequently asked questions; it would be much obliged if you'd look through it thoroughly to avoid misunderstandings in future communications we may (or may not) have.

• Is the project dead? No.
  
  
• Are you alive? Yep.
  
  
• Will there be a car/vehicle/Highwayman? Yes, there will be. You won't be able to drive it from first person perspective - it will act the same as in Fallout 2, speeding up fast travel.
  
  
• Will [any item/creature/town/quest from Fallout 2] be present in-game? Yes, they will.
  
  
• What is the estimated release date/what percentage of the mod is done? Unknown.
• Why is it unknown? It is unknown because the work is more than huge; because it is being done by people with different kinds of loads on their back in their course of life, different work efficiency and other parameters affecting the work being done. Simply because we have better things to do in our life.

• What does Molten Clouds stand for? You see: 'Molten Clouds' writing. Seems like it is the name of the team making the mod.
  
  
• So, what's the project's name again? You see: Mod heading. It is hard to believe you actually missed it before. It says 'The Chosen's Way'.
  
  
• Will there be any new towns or key story changes which were not present in original game? Yes, of course, because the project is being made not only based on the original game, but also with some input from Megamod addon and Restoration Project.

• Why Pip-Boy 2000 of yours is not handheld? It is not because PIP-boy 2000 was not a handheld device.

• Why you won't be allowed to if you were able to do it in the original game? Because bug abusing is not a feature.
  
  
• Will there be voice acting? Yes. But it will be coming in due time and, probably, as the last priority. We won't use Fallout 2 voices or any other Fallout 2 assets as it's simply illegal.
  
  
• How will you move between the towns? Our towns are actually big and extended worldspaces. Inside such worldspace you will be able to fast travel like in New Vegas. Between those worldspaces we have a worldmap, similar to Fallout 2.

• Do those pictures present in here show us the last iteration of the object on the picture? If the picture has the team logo (Molten Clouds), then this is the last version of the object (90-100%). If there is no logo on the picture, then it is 50/50 that the object will not change at all. It also depends on whether the object is marked as WIP or not.
  
  
• Why are you responding so agressively to 'are you alive?' question? Try asking the one who sleeps whether he sleeps or not. This question distracts from work.
  
  
• When will town screenshots be posted? When the towns will be more or less ready to be shown.
  
  
• Why can't you make the project on Unity or Unreal Engine 3? Nearly everybody knows JavaScript nowadays? If to forget that making a free-to-play project from scratch is kind of irrational for us, you should look at the game name, and at the copyright owner respectfully.

• How many companions will you be able to have simultaneously? The amount of your companions will depend on your character's appeal at the moment when you took your companion; it will also depend on the follower and on some perks/abilities/quest situations.
