I have a save game where after saving and then quitting attempting to load causes the game to crash. The only thing I can think of that has changed is that I told Klint to "wait here until I got back" while in Klamath, as I have not done anything out of the ordinary at the point where I am at...

The simple fact is "Super Criticals" exist. These criticals are capable of bypassing DT & DR entirely. A Rock is capable of damaging someone in Power Armor. A minigun no matter how many times you fire it at a tank will not swiss cheese the tank. You might very well get lucky and damage the...

I had similar experiences as Rad Static; I do not remember what version of vanilla FO2 I was using at the time, but I distinctly remember having multiple instances where after 4 hakunin dreams and not having entered Vault 13 that the game would end returning me to the main screen. Perhaps...

I would rather my enemies have tactics which rivaled my own, rather than blindly charging and hoping for the best in every situation. I'd rather my challenges be aware of my reputation or perceived power "level." "Oh man, HOLY SHIT, Its Blackguard The Destroyer McKillsALot!!!! We are so...

Like much of what I see. *Side Note* I am using Vista and in order to get this thing to install properly using the installer I had to log in using the hidden administrator account (since merely using the "Run as administrator" option failed miserably), but once I did no problem...

I'm not so sure. When Hillary Clinton and the fundies are on the same ideological side it stands to reason whole universes can change. I mean I can see the argument about how someone might trump the immorality (ala Vice City, which made it a huge success) to get more publicity, but I have...

I think the point is that what matters ultimately is: Is it a good gaming experience. I think things like Perspective, how one interacts with combat, and 2d versus 3d do less to establish the feel of a game, than the atmosphere, the story elements, and the characters in the game. Now...

The problem I have with the whole type of discussion is that it doesn't center on whether or not the game will be good; it centers on whether or not it will be a good "fallout-style" game. The game can be good without remaining entirely true to fallout style. Yeah, it won't be the game...

If the game were truly made into first person perspective, then why even have a crosshair? Why not force players to use a gun-sight and their lack of skill/agility attribute causes the gun to wobble more? This avenue of thought requires hard and fast lines be drawn by the designers. While...

In general contemporary weapons should not exist in fallout, but there are certain weapons which would "stand the test of time" so to speak. The Ak-47 or something similar (cheap to build, easy to construct, lethal) would probably get used by people who were moderately wealthy (raiders)...

So far we don't have that many things we actually know enough about to comment on. So far the Q/A has left me with mixed feelings, but more generally positive than negative. And the graphics are something I like. It looks more Post-Apoc to me. Nuclear weapons are no where near...

I'm sorry but a little knowledge of historical economics and sociology goes a long way. There is no conceivable reason why bottlecaps would EVER end up being the basis for trade in a world devastated to the point of economic collapse. None. The economic of reality of "its not about the...

I think combining skills is a bad idea. A case could be made for combining repair and science & doctor and first aid, but as far as other skills are concerned you really shouldn't touch them. Fallout wants to avoid becoming a level-less system, and the first step towards the creation of a...

I still don't see why an elegeantly designed phase-based combat system couldn't work for fallout. The previous thread illustrated posters desires for a simplistic method of approaching combat, and I fail to see why that desire could not be reconciled with a phase-based combat system...

I believe the topic was ethnicity; so let's be clear about what we are talking about. There are very few races in the fallout universe. Human, Ghoul, Deathclaw, and a claim can be made for Supermutant. But as far as ethnicity goes there exists the potential for an unlimited...
