Now that you mention it I do remember them saying that a long time ago. Oh, and the Avellone interview seemed pretty worthless. It's really long but I didn't notice any new information. I found the three interviewers kind of obnoxious and two of them had never really played any Fallout game...

There is, it's called Cherchez La Femme. It's got a picture of a couple Vault Girls hugging romantically and one is pulling a knife on the other. At about 21:45 she looks at her perk list and you can see a few of them. The others are Better Healing (from Arcade), Bloody Mess, Built to Destroy...

Something you don't see often enough is customizable difficulty settings. For example, maybe I like the idea of taking more damage myself, but not at having to put 20 bullets into a rat's head to kill it. The first time I saw this was in Soldier of Fortune way back when. Every single aspect of...

I can't recall strategic musical implementation ever being a factor in getting me psyched for an upcoming game, but damned if this didn't impress me. Did anyone else notice that page 2 has a map of Goodsprings? The area looks bigger than Megaton, and hell, the town center alone is bigger than...

As luck would have it, I've been reading through the Fallout Bible recently (as I occasionally do) so it's still fresh in my mind. Avellone said that the Wanamingos were not aliens but a biological weapon designed by the government just before the apocalypse... not unlike Weylend Yutani's goal...

@cratchety ol joe I do have an understanding of how skill checks work. I just like it when games divide speech skills. I mean, we divide combat skills in every game. I think that dividing speech skills shows a greater attention to depth of the actual roleplaying. It allows for greater...

@The Dutch Ghost I'm fully aware of this. I was just suggesting that with new sequels anything can happen. I mean, Fallout 3 introduced a new FEV development facility. While you may not agree with Bethesda's method, it just proves that such things are possible. So the Vats are gone, but what if...

In response to OP, the beauty of sequels is that the writers can create new developments to keep the story going. Yes, Super Mutants are rare now, but who's to say that there aren't more Vats out there? The Master's army was headed east, maybe they found another facility with new Vats. I'd like...

It's not really my idea since it was planned for Van Buren. I think RPGs have the right idea when they split speech skills, like Vampire: Bloodlines that split the speech skills into Persuasion, Intimidation, Seduction and of course, Mind Control. Oh yeah, and I was thinking, it would be cool...

Oh wait, that was OakTable who posted the thing about a Jackass-of-all-trades. Sorry for my idiocy. I'll shut up now. Maybe.

I'd like to see Speech split into Persuasion and Deception, but I think I'm being too hopeful. Someone mentioned that combining of Explosives and Big Guns will be strange for Stealth players because in order to defuse traps and mines they will also have to be good with a rocket launcher. I...

I played Fallout 3 on the hardest difficulty with mods that made enemies more powerful, made the player weaker, made ammo, drugs and money rarer, made triple the enemies spawn everywhere, made you take damage during VATS, gave fewer skill points and other things and only then would I call the...

It was probably just the language. While entertaining, some people are offended by such things. Post the question again and clean up the language and I'm sure they'll be fine with it.

I asked the following: A couple people have already liked it. I get the feeling that if we "like" certain questions then it will increase the chances that they will be presented to Obsidian. It will show them that many of the community want these questions answered. If everyone at NMA is doing...

It's easy to miss. You have to watch it really close and preferably in slow motion. You blink, you miss it. I didn't mean to imply that he was actually getting "sucked in" like through a portal but rather that he jumped quickly through the flames at the last second just before Peter looked away...
