Yeah, if you're going to do foliage, at least do it right. Gamebryo? *cringe*

Foliage seems ok in Skyrim. Anyway, I was just imagining how awesome the Fallout 3 setting would have been with realistic overgrowth.

Skyrim's Creation Engine might be iterative of 2006-2010's Bethesbryo, but it's still a pretty different animal. They gutted and rewrote a shit load of it. It's not fair to lump the two in together.

That piece of art also makes me yearn for it to be a Fallout 3-esque world (as in the 3d, roaming nature of it, not actually anything like Fallout 3 in terms of gameplay). The foliage in Far Cry 2 (most recent CryEngine game I've played) was pretty damned great.

An overgrown wasteland would be neat, but Far Cry 2 actually isn't the CryEngine since the game had nothing to do with Crytek. Instead they made a new engine in-house and then never released any tools, hence the lack of modding.

Ah right. Still, I remember numerous times during that game just stopping and soaking up the atmosphere in the more jungle-like parts.

Assuming that the $100,000 from PayPal backers is separate to the Kickstarter total (as it seems unlikely that Kickstarter would be tracking that), then it looks like they've exceeded $3,000,000.

That's what I thought, but at least on Wikipedia they mention that the Dunia engine is based on the CryEngine, though heavily modified.
