The shotgun blasts reduce your HP/general condition. That's like the most abstract thing ever. You could start talking about sieve when you start getting crippled limbs, but then again stimpaks won't heal them. It's a matter of suspension of disbelief. I don't buy any "Hmm, I'm gonna read this...

Yeah? Well there are the drugs in Fallout world which do the same thing as potions and scrolls in many other RPGs. Of course drug which enhances lock picking alone is far fetched. I seem to be mixing or don't understand where's the difference in game mechanics and beliavibility, or why does...

Intellect potions alter one's chemical balance in brains or increase blood flow or whatever you would like to think. Same with drugs. Considering the realms of Arcanum and Diablo, things can be "explained" with magic as well. Fallout doesn't have magic (not even nanobots!). These magazines...

For the lockpick example the PC would be shuffling through technical details of locks and apply that information while picking the lock. PC doesn't have any actual knowledge or motivation to learn the stuff so it would be like reading a walkthough or spoiler, so he discards the magazine...

Sounds like an interesting job. I can't pick any particular great sounds to rank them above others, because FO & FO2 are just full of them. Only shame is they didn't recycle the demo's button clicking sounds. For someone who installed some random demo from a disk in 1997 or 1998, and when not...

For a company which products range from bobbleheads to lunchboxes to targeting systems to all other misceancellous crap - oh and vaults - how could this bike not be Fallout? Look it has Vault Boy face in it, like in the every street corner billboard and bus advert you see! If it's ACME... I mean...

Ok. I was under the impression it was a 3rd person shot. So does those headshot holes disappear when he picks up medipack? :)

http://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Fallout_Vegas_Metro_2033_4.jpg Explain the lower pic. Is the camera behind some glass or what? Because of the distortions around the edges and those holes. Or uhhhhhh is it only trying to break the 4th wall (not that the upper one wouldn't do it)?

Pelit was an extreme quality magazine - and a strong bastion of turn based strategies/RPGs and PC gaming and was openly hostile to consoles even after its sister magazine doing console games was merged with it - from the early 90's it was created to the early/mid 2000's when it started to have...

I started drooling while reading that. Of course, like everyone has been saying, the game wouldn't been anywhere near like that in reality. I was planning to install X-COM, but this gave me the urge to fire up JA. Good thing I just finished Incubation. :wink:

So what Fallout needs is... Oblivion modder?

It's not shopped, it's radiation. You know how it makes things huge. And green. The tint on the background suggest astronomical amounts of radiation. Lots of feral ghouls and huge motherfucking critters to be expected. This time it's going to be deadly serious, and surely the gangs and all the...

Holy sh*t that sign is huge! Must be radiation.

This list is fairly more accurate than dozens of those ranking lists posted on gaming sites (you know those where Fallout 3 is #1, no matter the subject). I was positively surprised on the 1991-1998 games. I might have changed Wing Commander because I have no opinion on it and replace Warcraft 2...

If you let me do the narration for the intro I will give more stealable ideas.
