Great piece, sums up many of my thoughts, only more eloquently. I finally picked it up over the weekend, and, well, wow. As good as it could be given the limitations of that engine. Needless to say I was wary of anything with-in a 10 megaton radius of Bethesda, no matter how good the...

Wow, the Beth sandbox philosophy as applied to Fallout karma. Looking at the videos and reading this thread reminded me of this review (just replace one of the designers with Beth and the other with Interplay (Chris A, Leonard B., Scott C., Tim C., etc..)...

I was a tad underwhelmed by that list; admittedly coming up with 50 memorable moments is tough, much less 50 worthy of note. I do know of a few that I think may qualify. Arcanum: The prophesy is total bullshit. I didn’t fully solve the Pinarii religion quest until after several times...

That tag line seems a bit recycled: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/terminator-future-shock/cover-art/gameCoverId,5670/

This is ad absurdum malum prohibitum. A vile infringement on the freedom to have bad taste. Boo you Australian Bureaucratic bozos without the common sense to create a new rating. limb pain.... So could all the motion-blur and such be part of the the new 'limb pain' mechanic. And I thought...

The man can hold a grudge. No wonder Emil (I think it was Emil) mentioned F:3 as the spiritual successor to T:FS. Don't let the Todd think you don't like his design.

I cannot believe the attention to detail, the open-design, the sheer scope and scale. In fact I dare say the original FO2 team couldn't have done much better. :clap: Fantastic! :clap:

@Bodybag Of course the visuals were a phenomenal part of Fallout and Leon B. and his teams work was nothing less than brilliant, after all, they had an active palette of only 256 colors onscreen drawn from a palette of 65,536 and were able to depict vivid compelling locations and even an...

Fantastic work! I'm quite fond of the desert dweller but all threee are wonderful. Can't wait to see more... ZAX perhaps?

Glad to see the ending structure move closer to Fallout... that being said... This does seem to be getting a mixed reaction on the big sites and the Big T's vague comments are causing some PR back-fire. BN is right, had Todd just said, "We're doing it like Fallout" there would be alot...

These were excellent reads all three. Amazing A grade work. :clap: My favourite was Kirby Go's -- not only was it enjoyable reading, it felt like Fallout for me, a natural and smooth progression of the story. Since I still have the blind poet on the brain let me toss out one of the...

Huh? A quote from Todd Howard describing the amount of combat, a topic of much speculation is neither "random" nor "retarded". Indeed I’m glad for the clarification as in the past Pete and Emil dodged this topic with vague prevarications like 'not sure' and 'not really loooked at that'...

:crazy: "...If the basic monster-killing is fun and exciting, I will do it over and over for hours on end – especially if it unlocks new abilities." :crazy: I'm guessing a total pacifist path is out. So mini-dungeons filled with baddies and random treasure it is. :roll:

It's disturbing that people use every game EXCEPT Fallout when drawing comparisons. Combat: Halo and CoD Story: Bioshock and Mass Effect And for everything there is Oblivion. This is Bullshit. Videogames are NOT such a high art form that BIG NAME WRITERS can't understand the...

It feels very flavor of the moment; which is, almost but not quite exactly like Fallout isn't. I think 4too captured it quite well, and with an eloquence I can only gape in awe at. His poetry is the Alpha Dog ripping apart the junkfood scraps offered by an irresponsible adolescent owner...
