'''''Van Buren''''' was the project name [[Black Isle Studios]] assigned to their version of ''[[Fallout 3]]''.
+
'''Van Buren''''''范布倫''')是[[黑岛工作室|黑島工作室]]為他們的''[[Fallout 3]]''取的專案名稱。
   
  +
它使用黑島為了''博德之門3''而開發,被稱為「[[Jefferson Engine|傑佛森引擎]]」的全3D引擎。
The game was going to use an engine that Black Isle had made for ''Baldur's Gate 3'', commonly referred to as the [[Jefferson Engine]]. It was fully 3D.
 
   
  +
黑島原本預計在遊戲內使用雙戰鬥系統,讓玩家自行選擇要用即時或是回合制戰鬥,不過即時制是因為Interplay的要求才加上去的,J.E. Sawyer(遊戲的首席設計師)曾經說過重點還是放在回合制上。同時遊戲會有線上多人合作的模式,也是由於Interplay要求而加入的。
Black Isle Studios planned to include a dual combat system in the game that allowed for the player to choose real time or [[turn-based combat]], due to [[Interplay]]'s demands, though [[Josh Sawyer]] had stated that the emphasis would be on the turn-based version. Co-operative multiplayer was also going to be included in the game, again because of publisher requirements.
 
   
  +
在2003年時,遊戲被取消,而黑島工作室的員工們也被炒魷魚。那時遊戲引擎已經完成95%,可以創造角色、使用技能、射擊或近距離戰鬥、存/讀檔和在地圖上移動。同時也做好了一個教學關卡讓設計師可以進行上述那些動作。除了一個區域之外,其他區域都設計好了,對話完成度約75%,地圖部份則是50%,另外當然還包括了許多角色與怪物的模型。<ref>[http://www.gamebanshee.com/interviews/johndeiley1.php Interview with John Deiley] at GameBanshee</ref>
In 2003, the game was canceled and the Black Isle employees were laid off. At that time the engine was about 95% done. You could create characters, use skills, perform both ranged and melee combat, save/load games, and travel across maps. A tutorial level was done that would let the designers do all of the above. All areas but one had been designed. About 75% of the dialogues were done and at least 50% of the maps. BIS already had many of the character models and monster models.<ref>[http://www.gamebanshee.com/interviews/johndeiley1.php Interview with John Deiley] at GameBanshee</ref>
 
   
==Setting==
+
==背景設定==
  +
''范布倫''的遊戲世界範圍在美國的西南部(亞利桑那、科羅拉多、猶他、新墨西哥,是Fallout世界內美國的「[[Four States Commonwealth|四州聯邦]]」,為13自治區之一),最西邊的地區是[[NCR]]最東邊的邊界,而和NCR有關的問題和遊戲內發生的事有很大的關係。根據[[Sean K. Reynolds]](設計師之一)所言,范布倫是「接近250年後的未來」,也就是在2250年代,約[[Fallout 2|二代]]結束後10年。照范布倫設定文稿上來說的話,遊戲是開始於2253年。
''Van Buren'' took place in the American [[southwest]] ([[Arizona]], [[Nevada]], [[Colorado]], [[Utah]]). The westernmost sites on the game map are the easternmost borders of [[New California Republic]], and problems with [[NCR]] have a lot to do with what's going on in the game. According to [[Sean K. Reynolds]] it was set "almost 250 years in the future", which places it in the [[Timeline#2250|2250s]], only 10 years after the end of ''[[Fallout 2]]''. According to the [[van Buren design documents]] it was set in the year 2253.
 
   
  +
以下是范布倫內的地區:

==Plot==
 
 
{{VB}}
 
{{VB}}
===The Prisoner===
 
The game would begin with the player in a prison cell. Because of this the player was given a choice. He could be an innocent that was imprisoned because of some misunderstanding, or he could choose to be a criminal and take bonus traits that would bolster some of his skills.
 
   
  +
=== 囚犯 ===
The player would awaken in a [[Tibbets|prison]] cell, but not the one he remembered falling asleep in. Suddenly the floor rocks violently from an explosion and the player is knocked unconscious. When he awakens he finds his cell door open and a hole in the wall leading outside. Leaving the prison, he is under attack by some unknown assailant. Deciding that discretion is the better part of valor, the player flees into the night to explore his new world.
 
  +
遊戲一開始玩家是在監獄牢房中,也因為這樣玩家得先做個決定,你可以選擇自己是清白之身,只是因為一些誤會而被關,也可以選擇自己真的是罪犯,能選額外的特性並獲得一些相關的能力加成。(可能會有相對應的觀感影響)
  +
玩家在[[Tibbets|牢房]]醒來,但發現不是你原本睡的那個監獄。接著突然發生了一場大爆炸讓你昏了過去,再醒來時你發現牢房門戶大開而牆上也多了個大洞通往外面,要離開監獄時你遭到不知名的攻擊,所謂識時務者為俊傑,你逃進了夜色中,開始探索這個新世界。
   
  +
很不幸地,你新獲得的自由似乎不太長久。玩家會不斷地被想把你抓回去的機器人追捕,而在探險和躲避追捕的過程中,你開始慢慢揭露埋藏在幕後的陰謀。為什麼你睡一覺起來是在不同的監獄?為什麼你不記得你被移監?一開始是誰為了什麼攻擊監獄?你發現了[[NCR]]所受到的麻煩,與其他一些串不起來的事情....
Unfortunately, his new found freedom may be short lived. The player is relentlessly pursued by [[robots]] who want to return him to the prison. As he explores the world and tries to outwit his pursuers, he begins to uncover an underlying plot. Why was he in a different prison than the one he fell asleep in? Why can't he remember being transferred? What was the attack on the prison about in the first place? Then he finds out about [[NCR]]'s problems, and a few things don't add up....
 
   
===Presper's plan===
+
===Presper的計劃===
 
[[File:VB_DD16_npc_Victor_Presper_1.jpg|thumb|200px|Victor Presper]]
  +
最終玩家會找出你醒來的監獄和那次襲擊的真正原因:一個對戰後世界感到極度失望,名為[[Presper]]的科學家發現了一個過去稱為「Limit 115」(又名為「[[New Plague|新瘟疫]]」)病毒的歷史和它的種族滅絕潛力(我們所知道的[[FEV]],其實最早起源是為了是創造出Limit 115的治療法所延伸出來的產物),同時也發現了一個可以「淨化」世界的[[B.O.M.B.-001|手段]]。用上[[ULYSSES]],管理監獄的超級AI,在大戰前被修改加上地區疾病控管能力,[[Big Empty|quarantine 監獄]]和被稱作''[[B.O.M.B.-001]]''的彈道衛星,the way to human planetary domination and order became clear.
   
  +
Presper和他的手下在靠近[[Boulder|博爾德]]和[[Denver|丹佛]]的偏遠地區散佈新瘟疫病毒,散佈的範圍控制在可以刺激「隔離監獄」(就是Tibbets Facility)內的ULYSSES開始運作,同時也不會過大而造成大量人口的恐慌。一旦有一定數量的人受到感染,並且ULYSSES也「逮捕」了足夠的人數裝滿監獄(其實是隔離檢疫),Presper的手下就會進行一次能讓所有人逃跑的攻擊行動。這件事會啟動B.O.M.B.-001上的某種倒數計時以便讓飛彈發射,ULYSSES會開始估算病毒散佈的範圍並追捕犯人,而當90%的「犯人」都捕回來的時候, ULYSSES會根據犯人逃亡的範圍計算病毒到底散佈了多廣,最後它會決定因為病毒的可能散佈範圍實在太廣,而發射核子飛彈「消毒與預防」病毒更近一步的感染(還包括自毀以殺死監獄中所有人)。到這時Presper就計畫好在B.O.M.B.-001上介入發射程序並修改目標成他想要的地點,只有他選上(包括被強迫的)並躲在[[Boulder Dome|博爾德圓頂]]的人們能躲過這第二次的核子浩劫,直到他宣佈地球已經再度安全並屬於「純種」人類。
[[Image:Presper.jpg|thumb|200px|Victor Presper]]

==技術演示==
Eventually, the player would discover the true reason behind the prison and the attack on it. It turns out that through extensive research, the mad scientist called [[Presper]], disgusted with what the world turned into after the War, discovered the history of [[New Plague]], the virus that [[FEV]] was initially created to cure, and its genocidal potency, and also discovered a viable means to cleanse the world. Using [[ULYSSES]], the [[Big Empty|quarantine prison]], and a ballistic satellite known as ''[[B.O.M.B.-001]]'', the way to human planetary domination and order became clear. He needed to get to ''B.O.M.B.-001'' and use the nuclear weapons to clean the filth and wretch that currently occupied the surface.
 
 
{{Main|Van Buren tech demo}}A [[Van Buren tech demo|tech demo]] of ''Van Buren'' exists. When asked about it, [[Bethesda Softworks]]'s [[Pete Hines]] replied: "(...) releasing someone else's unfinished product, or assets from it, is not something we intend to do." Several screenshots and one video of the tech demo have been released at [[No Mutants Allowed]] on April 30, 2007, followed by the tech demo itself on May 2.
 
Presper and his followers released the New Plague virus in the remote areas near [[Boulder]] and [[Denver]]. It was close enough to the quarantine prison to spur ULYSSES into action, but not near enough to cause huge populations to start a general panic. Once enough people were infected and ULYSSES “arrested” enough people to just about fill up the prison, Presper’s men would stage an attack on the prison which would allow everyone to escape. This event would start a countdown of sorts for missile launch on ''B.O.M.B.-001''. ULYSSES would assess the viral spread, try to gather up the escaped prisoners, and once 90% of the prisoners had been retrieved, launch nuclear missiles to “clean & prevent” any further infection. By the time this happened Presper had planned to be on, and in full control, of ''B.O.M.B.-001'' and reprogramming targeting solutions to clean the areas he wanted. Humans of his choosing would wait out the second nuclear holocaust in the [[Boulder Dome]], until the day came where he declared the Earth safe for pure blood humans once more.

The plot of the tech demo is not connected to the main storyline and was going to be included in the finished game as a tutorial. It takes place in the [[United States]] during the [[Great War]], somewhere in the Great Midwest Commonwealth. The [[Player Character]] in the demo is referred to only as Citizen. His parents were reduced to ash, as they didn't believe the government's bombing raid sirens. He made his way to the relocation center and is escorted to a [[Vault]] by [[Corporal Armstrong]] of the 4th [[Power Armor|Armored Infantry]] Division. To reach the Vault, they must fight [[Communist Insurgents]]. After he enters the Vault, the Citizen must help turn on the life support system.

There are several things of note in the tech demo. The first is that the female PC appears naked from the waist up, without the prisoner suit with the "13" legend. The second and most curious is that the male PC's character portrait appears to be [http://www.emotioneric.com Eric Wu from Eric Conveys an Emotion (or simply Emotion Eric)]. The female PC has no character portrait whatsoever.

Van Buren范布倫)是黑島工作室為他們的Fallout 3取的專案名稱。

它使用黑島為了博德之門3而開發,被稱為「傑佛森引擎」的全3D引擎。

黑島原本預計在遊戲內使用雙戰鬥系統,讓玩家自行選擇要用即時或是回合制戰鬥,不過即時制是因為Interplay的要求才加上去的,J.E. Sawyer(遊戲的首席設計師)曾經說過重點還是放在回合制上。同時遊戲會有線上多人合作的模式,也是由於Interplay要求而加入的。

在2003年時,遊戲被取消,而黑島工作室的員工們也被炒魷魚。那時遊戲引擎已經完成95%,可以創造角色、使用技能、射擊或近距離戰鬥、存/讀檔和在地圖上移動。同時也做好了一個教學關卡讓設計師可以進行上述那些動作。除了一個區域之外,其他區域都設計好了,對話完成度約75%,地圖部份則是50%,另外當然還包括了許多角色與怪物的模型。[1]

背景設定

范布倫的遊戲世界範圍在美國的西南部(亞利桑那、科羅拉多、猶他、新墨西哥,是Fallout世界內美國的「四州聯邦」,為13自治區之一),最西邊的地區是NCR最東邊的邊界,而和NCR有關的問題和遊戲內發生的事有很大的關係。根據Sean K. Reynolds(設計師之一)所言,范布倫是「接近250年後的未來」,也就是在2250年代,約二代結束後10年。照范布倫設定文稿上來說的話,遊戲是開始於2253年。

以下是范布倫內的地區:

  • The Tibbets Facility (戰前就存在的高科技全自動化監獄)
  • 丹佛 (現在是野狗肆虐的廢墟,別名「狗城」,各方拾荒者與各路人馬在此聚集)
  • 博爾德圓頂(安然渡過核戰的超大圓球型實驗室,一些NCR的科學家在此忙著保存資料數據,大山脈明顯源於此)
  • 胡佛水壩 (無法和「核心區域」的NCR中央政府聯繫上。認為已被摧毀,自立為NCR的「首都」)
  • 大峽谷 ( 大戰前從國家保護區變成開採鈾礦區,結果造成極嚴重的環境災害,現有變種食人族出沒。此處也是軍團前特使約書亞·格雷漢姆被處刑的地方)
  • Twin Mothers (29號避難所所在地,也是哈羅德的出身地,現在是專精於農業的部落)
  • 苗圃 (戰前環保署建造的植物保存所,不慎闖入的哈羅德因頭上的樹被機器人困在這,明顯是3代綠洲原型)
  • 保留區 (位於新墨西哥州的屍鬼城市,前身是洛斯阿拉莫斯國家實驗室,此處輻射嚴重,有武器工廠,並和外人進行交易)
  • 耶利哥 (摩門教徒的城市,因為「先知」排除眾議允許超級變種人和屍鬼加入,現在城市檯面下暗潮洶湧)
  • 麥克森地堡 (鋼鐵兄弟會所在地,目前與胡佛水壩的NCR部隊交戰中)
  • 遺棄要塞 (原名Fort Aradesh,本來是NCR的鐵路交會檢查站兼東部前哨堡壘,但被凱撒軍團摧毀。)
  • Mesa Verde(西班牙語「綠桌」之意,小部落,但裡面居民為科學家後裔,裏頭有大量設計圖藏在壁畫中)
  • 銜尾蛇部落 (由名為「黑卡蒂」的瘋女人所領導,母系社會,目前是其他部落的大威脅。毒蛇幫也在此)
  • 黑足村落 (村民都是奴隸販子兼盜匪,一直攻擊附近聚落劫財擄人,凱撒軍團起源地)
  • Burham Springs (不斷有火燃燒的煤礦坑,現在有著Agricola機器人、Gehennas與Molechs這兩變種怪物)
  • Bloomfield太空基地 (戰前空軍基地,現在是一群名為Rusty Hooks的盜匪基地,但他們倒願意和外來者交易,只要沒被路上來自太空火箭附近的高出力砲塔打死,明顯是新維加斯奈利斯空軍基地原型。玩家將在此搭火箭上太空)
  • Ballistic Orbital Missile Base 001 (B.O.M.B.-001,美國太空核子飛彈基地,遊戲的最後區域)

一些在最終定案被拿掉的地區:

  • 新迦南耶利哥水源淡化廠 (併入耶利哥鎮內)
  • Hangdog村落 (Hangdog的設計文稿和黑足合併在一起了)
  • Circle Junction ("Iron Lines"這個反黑卡蒂流浪部落的總部。)
  • The Crater (前身是夏延山基地輻射戰略版中放核彈之處,這裡設定於大戰被核彈直擊成超大輻射坑)
  • Moletown (一個瘋子在Tibbets Facility監獄外圍小鎮挖了一堆地道的地區。)
  • 凱撒軍團的地點

Presper和他的手下在靠近博爾德丹佛的偏遠地區散佈新瘟疫病毒,散佈的範圍控制在可以刺激「隔離監獄」(就是Tibbets Facility)內的ULYSSES開始運作,同時也不會過大而造成大量人口的恐慌。一旦有一定數量的人受到感染,並且ULYSSES也「逮捕」了足夠的人數裝滿監獄(其實是隔離檢疫),Presper的手下就會進行一次能讓所有人逃跑的攻擊行動。這件事會啟動B.O.M.B.-001上的某種倒數計時以便讓飛彈發射,ULYSSES會開始估算病毒散佈的範圍並追捕犯人,而當90%的「犯人」都捕回來的時候, ULYSSES會根據犯人逃亡的範圍計算病毒到底散佈了多廣,最後它會決定因為病毒的可能散佈範圍實在太廣,而發射核子飛彈「消毒與預防」病毒更近一步的感染(還包括自毀以殺死監獄中所有人)。到這時Presper就計畫好在B.O.M.B.-001上介入發射程序並修改目標成他想要的地點,只有他選上(包括被強迫的)並躲在博爾德圓頂的人們能躲過這第二次的核子浩劫,直到他宣佈地球已經再度安全並屬於「純種」人類。

技術演示

主页面: Van Buren tech demo

A tech demo of Van Buren exists. When asked about it, Bethesda Softworks's Pete Hines replied: "(...) releasing someone else's unfinished product, or assets from it, is not something we intend to do." Several screenshots and one video of the tech demo have been released at No Mutants Allowed on April 30, 2007, followed by the tech demo itself on May 2.

The plot of the tech demo is not connected to the main storyline and was going to be included in the finished game as a tutorial. It takes place in the United States during the Great War, somewhere in the Great Midwest Commonwealth. The Player Character in the demo is referred to only as Citizen. His parents were reduced to ash, as they didn't believe the government's bombing raid sirens. He made his way to the relocation center and is escorted to a Vault by Corporal Armstrong of the 4th Armored Infantry Division. To reach the Vault, they must fight Communist Insurgents. After he enters the Vault, the Citizen must help turn on the life support system.

There are several things of note in the tech demo. The first is that the female PC appears naked from the waist up, without the prisoner suit with the "13" legend. The second and most curious is that the male PC's character portrait appears to be Eric Wu from Eric Conveys an Emotion (or simply Emotion Eric). The female PC has no character portrait whatsoever.

角色系統

主页面: Van Buren SPECIAL

這款遊戲採用J.E. Sawyer修改過的SPECIAL角色系統,其中一些修改有引起Fallout迷的不少爭論,特別是技能部份,例如合併了戰鬥系統技能以及口才技能拆分為說服詐騙。貝賽斯達版的FO3 SPECIAL則像是混合了原始版和范布倫版系統並加上他們自己的更動。

註釋

  • 范布倫的名字來自於美國第八任總總統馬丁·范布倫。Interplay的遊戲專案都以總統姓氏為代號名稱。
