My GPU imploded so while I'm waiting for new parts, I'm replaying PS:T on my wife's computer. I also recently started student teaching which means I'm extremely busy, so it's relaxing to come home to PS:T and relive some old experiences whenever I have some free time.

I love this soundtrack, one of my favorites from any game. Very atmospheric and helps sculpt the overall feeling of the game very well.

There wasn't very much I liked about the Witcher, so I would say that the Witcher doesn't have much in common with the first Fallout games at all. That said, I would say that there is a massive gulf between old school RPGs and new school RPGs in general - though I'm not entirely sure where...

What's aggravating is that Fallout 3 got the rave reviews it did when it was just as buggy if not more so than Dead Money. Game breaking, aggravating and annoying bugs. Also, FYI I haven't played Dead Money, just reading impressions and reviews about how buggy it is.

Very impressive, thanks!

That kind of disclaimer has, to me, always meant that this was the *last* story mission and that you won't have a chance to re-equip... so you'd better be ready kinda thing. So there's that, plus my character and I have maybe 4 intelligence points combined. Don't judge me! :cry:

Haven't done melee in FNV yet, but I remember melee being extremely satisfying in Fallout 1 and 2 - especially with Bloody Mess. Punching whole chunks out of dudes wearing power armor is just so awesome.

I didn't particularly like the Independent Vegas ending. [spoiler:fb1abface2]The whole Yes-Man jumping out from behind the fence at the very end and saying he was taking over was kinda sudden and felt tacked on. Also I didn't fight Caesar, just the Legate. Is that normal? I'm going for a...

I played and finished the game with a 3 point intelligence guy. There are probably less than 10 dialog options total where I noticed that the dialog was written for a "stupid" character. i.e. using 'me' instead of 'I' - that said I rushed through the game because I liked the story so much, and...

I just remember it being explained in detail in his conversation with Ravel. I think that's where the answer is in the game at least.

Whoever mentioned that thing about the Greeks and Spartans was right. They figured that you'd fight more bravely if you were fighting with/for your lover. I doubt this would come into play in modern times, but I don't see the problem with gays serving.

I think it's because each subsequent reincarnation lost more and more, hence the notes and the journal, etc to jog the new reincarnation's memory or at least place it within some position of advantage.

IMHO, torture is never 'right' in the moral sense, because it violates previously mentioned human rights and 'dignity', whatever that may be. Most cultures will at least agree that painless death is better than torture, or at least more honorable. btw, I heard that Rumsfeld offered twice to...

Paid to study? Whoa. I'm studying philosophy and I work in the student health center for my cash. Prior to that I used to work in an auto upholstery shop. It sucked.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/08/11/news_6104565.html It's toward the bottom. And sorry if this is the wrong forum/not interesting. I'm new so I'm allowed to kill puppies if I so desire.
