    Bethesda and PnP mechanics

    I think you missed my point, as I followed up later in my post. If you take away from the basic components and feel of an already established product, turn it on it's head, and slap the name on it, it DOESN'T make it the *same product but upgraded and polished for the new age*. We can go round...

    Bethesda and PnP mechanics

    I'm not a rabid, obsessed Fallout fan, but even I can make the relatively simple deduction that Beth has no buisness calling this fallout 3. I bought Tactics for what it was. A squad based tactial combat game. I had no illusions that it was a sequel. Therefor, my expectations of the game...

    Fallout 3 developers on Fallout

    Ricardo seems like he played the game *somewhat extensively*, at least enough to remember some fairly specific characters and situations. Gary sounds like he played it once or twice but didn't "get" it really. Dan sounds like someone who never played it but was put there to refute any possible...

    Fallout 3 developers on Fallout

    Yeah, that seems about right, and maybe BOS ended up in Ireland because they heard about a huge IRA technology cache...but found giant anthropomorphically toned Leprechauns guarding it which they had to altruistically save the Gaellic decendants from. :roll:

    New developer diary at Bethesda

    That isn't entirely unheard of in the Movie industry, even if I can't think of a game series that's done it off the top of my head. Highlander and a few others come to mind that just dumped sequels and acted like they didnt happen since they were so crappily done. Can't really even call POS...

    New developer diary at Bethesda

    Pure and simple, it's crap. BN did a great job shredding this tripe. I feel like I read a bunch of crap that 6 monkeys dry humping a typewriter could have squirted out. WTF? What's been said has been said, and most of us have a gut feeling it's true. Buttsoft is going to put out a piece of...

    Creator of "Duck and Cover" dies in hospital

    Duck and cover isn't nearly as foolish as it sounds. The entire object behind the duck and cover idea was to reduce the amount of surface area exposed to the direction of the blast. The cover, quite simply, was to prevent obvious head injury from debris. Simillarly, it was suggested in the film...

    Drink up!

    Are you kidding? I'm in New Orleans for chirssake, what drink ISN'T popular here...especially since Katrina messed up the water supply. Hmm, BUT, since Mardis Gras is quickly gathering speed and will be upon us soon, an old favorite, with a slight explanation is required. During Mardis...

    How did you discover Fallout ?

    Long story, but here goes. Was at my office one day, way back in '97. My co worker turns to me and says...dude, I just got one of those hacked compilation cd's. There's this awesome game on there....holy crap, you can get addicted to DRUGS. Its called fallout. >Me: Ho hum, yawn, where's...

    Introduce yourself! AKA the "Say hello" thread

    I -am-will be-will be proven to be- a tard- noob- etc. I lurked a long time in the forums.... All I have to say is this. You aren't entitled to an opinion, you're entitled to an EDUCATED opinion. If you don't know anything about what you speak, shut up and listen. I have no reason to offer...

    new graphics, etc? who wants them?

    My bad, pleh. How about "flying discman from mars" then. Sheesh, talk about a critic ... :)

    Characters, high intelligence, psions, etc. (G&T Split)

    Agreed. Just my two cents though. Both sides make an easily plausable argument, allthough I think they're closer to agreement than disagreement. This game is a combat intensive environment.. I mean, if we draw the obvious paralells to Mad Max, (through the leather and dogmeat if nothing...

    eBay finds

    Only thing i want included in that package is a plush stinky meat platter and a bottle of nuka cola :)

    new graphics, etc? who wants them?

    Personally, it would be great if they add some nice rendering, etc. I really don't care as long as the flavor is preserved. One can only hope the designers don't get so tied up in sprucing up the graphics that they decide to "improve" too much artistically. IE, making the laser look like...
