Oh, so you've been playing it for the past 14 hours, and you're an expert, right? You obviously haven't played it, yet. You have no idea. The leveling system is not shallow. You've shouted for weeks about how terrible the leveling is, but it is actually more complex than you realize. You...

That's giving that mess of a story in NV way too much credit. The story and the writing were the worst parts about New Vegas. The different factions were very appreciated, but the execution left a lot to be desired. The only Fallout with a truly interesting main story was the original...

You're skipping some seriouis steps in logic when you say that a person throws their leverage away for liking what Bethesda did for the series. That's a bunch of bullshit, good sir. You're saying that a person's opinion doesn't matter because they don't agree with you... and then you go on to...

Hyperbole or not, this kind of speech comes across as generalized anger towards people who are probably not all that different from you. I'm 35, I loved the original games, and I love the new games, different though they may be. Do you hate me for liking Fallout 1, 2, 3, and NV, and for...

In Fallout (or Fallout 2, I can't remember which one), you couldn't blow up a bunch of rocks in front of a military bunker without attaching dynamite to a pole, and then attaching the dynamite pole to a mine cart. That was the most ridiculous thing I have seen. You can't use the dynamite...

Have there been any images or videos of VANS released, yet? I don't think so... but I could be wrong. Everyone seems to assume it will be like Clairvoyance, but I don't think we know, yet. I think VANS makes sense. It's like augmented reality on your phone. You hold the phone up, turn on...

I don't think you're right about the absence of ammo types. If you look through the weapon mod screen captures on a Google search, you can see there are different ammo types for the different weapons. Focused Laser Rifle uses E-Cells. Bayoneted Pipe Rifle uses .38 caliber. Etc.

Sure, they follow that pattern, but we do not know if the responses listed in the dialogue wheel are modified based on stats, and we do not know if the actual lines of dialogue associated with the responses in the dialogue wheel are modified based on stats. It would be simple, if-then...

You haven't even seen the dialogue wheel, fully, yet. None of us have seen it. We don't know how many options there will be. If your Intelligence is a 1, all of the options might be "Durr..." "Gahh..." and "Flurp..." They recorded a ton of dialogue, so at least wait until the game comes out...

I haven't posted on here in a long time, but I've noticed there are a lot more optimistic opinions this time around then there were when Fallout 3 was first announced. A very strong anti-Bethesda element remains. That's why I felt compelled to post again after a long absence. I played...

I think it would be more accurate to say they used first person because they didn't think a 3rd-person, isometric, turn-based RPG would sell many more copies than there are Bethesda haters here at NMA. I think they were right. Why are people so upset about the 1st person perspective? I've...

Re: I now understand NMA As to the first, I agree and I think it was made to be a piece of crap on purpose. That was the whole point, it was a stupid test (and I think meant to make fun of other games that use similar stupid tests to determine your character, such as Jagged Alliance 2; a...

Re: I now understand NMA You can do it really easily on the 360 version, too. You just hold down the right shoulder button while in the weapon section of the PipBoy (or aid section, because you can use Stimpacks this way too) and assign any weapon you want to the directional pad. I use the...

I completely agree, and -- in addition -- I include Fallout and Fallout 2 my concurrence. I think we can be too quick to forget all of the problems the original series had when we look at it in hindsight through our rose-tinted glasses. I think F3 improved a few of the series'...

I don't think that is very fair. The way the "endings" are handled is extremely similar to the way it was handled in the original Fallout. There were a couple of different cinematics, and then depending on your other actions you got to see the same six or seven slides with slightly different...
