just wondering what the progress was.

We know the following in short:

• Firstly, it should be noted not much has been released but what has been released is in the Armageddon Rags See:http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Armageddon_Rag
• Its going to be 65,000 mi^2 in size
• It will have humans and ghouls with many suspecting Supermutants as a race as well
• It will feature Harold and Master from the previous titles
• It will be similar to that of Earthrise in terms of game engine
• It will have worldwide events in a metapuzzle like of way (i.e. faction A takes over place X from faction B therefore Z happens)
• It will feature many elements of Fallout such as Nuka-Cola
• It will contain player-controlled cities and have guild compounds with a focus on regeneration
• There will likely be spanning a large part of the US via long distance travel between zones (See poll on travel time)
• They MAY be a special perk for characters brought on AFTER creation of the Character
• It will likely be classless and will utilised a modified S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system for MMORPG with shooting being a combination of player and PC skill
• Death is final with PCs facing 'defeat' as opposed to outright death
• The T51b, or something similar, is likely appear along with the Brotherhood of Steel and Master's Army, or something pertaining to it.
• There has been speculation on possible locations being Seattle and other places such as Trumball, a town in Conneticut US, suggesting possible coast-to-coast playing.
• Some sort of explosive creature called a Ticker appears in the Mickey Blue Mines though where, why and how is another matter up for speculation.

This is all I can thing off the top of my head
