We ignore the (possibly different) accents issue in favour of unified accent to avoid trouble. western sound good to me. Or if you want to do New Yorkee, no problem, but it should be unified on the whole module. Same way with redneck accent, or the terrifying New Orleans one, or bloody guvner...

Interesting enough, this theme of "some years right after Apocalypse" was tried again in Fallout4 if you look at the design direction (everything look damn new to be 2 centuries PA). There was a mod to change the mentioned 200 years into 60 years and the text doesnt seem so bad. Of course...

That's not hot take, that's flat as boiled water. Those F3 dev try to "reward exploration"... yeah, it works only to a point, which is the scenery worth the walks and the fights. F3 is not Morrowind, so this design direction doesnt really work, not in DC and not with F3's art direction. (it...

That was probabbly a change of personel in their writing department. Fallout 3 show the different parts, different line of design/direction quite well There's a direction about the theme of some years right after Apocalypse. This is a theme near and dear to Beth so there's a lot of effort...

Tactics is of another subgenre, tactical TB, unit management, terrain combat game. it's not same subgenre as F1/2 which is TB RPG, at all. So generally people dont compare it. Worse, as a game of different subgenre it require different skill sets. F1/2 players generally had big trouble with Tactics

Personally I dont find (marked or unmarked) quests in Fallout 3 is that bad. The problem is that they rely too much on the randomness of gameplay to initiate itself, thus some can very well hide away from players. +++ The letters in the graves that finally lead you to a SM camp with Behemoth...

Yes~ Thanks to Tale of Two Wasteland project, people now can play F3 in FNV engine. So all the limitation of F3 engine are eliminated, and F3 can survive alongside FNV for as long as the latter. Dont let the zero visitor to F3 Nexus portal fool you, they all move to TTW corner. Sure TTW...

So the Fallout3 game is not as bad as you think threads make me wonder: Compare to Fallout 4, is Fallout 3 better, or worse? 1. Stories/dialogs/ aka all things writings related. 2. Art direction: blue tinted saturated urban ruins vs full color sharp contrasted plastic feel. 3. Quests: number...

Did I talk about reasonable? No, I talk about feasibility. It's freaking lab works on FEV, the damn most advanced bio-virus work of that time, transfering across the width of USA, with Chinese spy festering around DC. S.A.F.E.T.Y. is the word. And what do you mean no FEV labs prior to F3? What...

Not working~ because there is a whole width of US continent awaiting that sentence. Muthafuka! You are asking to transfer the whole enchilada of lab works across the whole US of A. It only sound good on paper. Because on paper you never thought of Chinese spy already infiltrated US. There's a...

The problem of V87 is its own limitation. As Fallout 1 fan we can see right away damn 87 is aping Vault Los Angeles when it was captured by the Master and become the original Vat that produce an SM army to threaten the entire West Coast. But the F3 people dont want to do that, so they remove a...

Try :Open the saves folder of FNV. This generally can be done by open the Documents, then My Games, then FalloutNV then Saves (or whatever location the Saves folder is). Select all the files (fos, bak etc) inside and uncheck on Read only tag. Getting out to FalloutNV and check Saves folder...

Did you install the game in Program Files? That behavior sounds like it~ Proper procedure require you install the game in a normal folder, preferably with short address. Like c:\games\Fallout New Vegas\ for example Install in PF or in Steam (which generally in PF) is going to cause trouble.

Fallout IP is no hope, considering FNV as an illustrative case. The Beth guys are quite leery of outsourcers who changed their artistic vision. God forbid if someone bend the direction from "high contrast colorful plastic" back to "rusted and dusted post apocalypse". But Obsidian can still...

Yeah, heard of that too. But get a childkiller rep just to get him to appear is too much for me. So I never have that happened. Supposedly present in both F1 and F2. Again: no confirm~
