In Fallout, there were mindless ghouls which were hostile, but they weren't fast. They shuffled around and grunted and weren't really actively hostile. In Fallout 2, there were hostile 'crazy' ghouls which ran a little bit, but they weren't mindless or 'feral'. All of them talked and some of...

I think it's just great that BS is showing such an ability to do something other than recycle TES ideas into Fallout. Oh wait... [spoiler:d84137a468]Yay! I can has Akulakhan and Numidium in der Falloutz now? oh goody![/spoiler:d84137a468] Very creative and original there, Bethsoft. :roll:

Yep, it could be as simple as him not having enough experience with TES to see that Oblivion represents a further downhill slide for the series in almost every way except superficially, but having enough experience and caring enough about the Fallout franchise to see it happening there. Oh...

Yeah, turns out groin shots weren't required to make that happen, anyway. Not when you've got things like 'Bloody Mess + teddy bear' or a choo-choo steampunk gun or exploding nuclear cars or a mini-nuke lobber or some shoe-horned profanity. :roll:

Not all of them. The rest wised up and now they stay out of sight and away from people. They always use loading times to hide before any player characters arrive. Smart critters. ;) Anyway, back to the topic. I think the almost-review was quite an honest one from a Fallout fan rather than...

You're right, that doesn't seem like the reason they would make a game that way. I'm quite sure that the Black Isle folks didn't say "Hey, let's give the player a ton of freedom in the paths they choose so they can 'beat' the game quickly and say it sucks." I believe that Black Isle had more...

There probably are also car dealers and people in the oil industry who think regular car-pooling (or even letting someone borrow your car) is stealing and that HOV lanes are for pirates and thieves. ;) Public transportation is probably to them what public libraries are to that author you know.

If this is the Dionysus from the BGS Forums, I didn't agree with you much over there, but I agree very much with you on this particular quote. That is a dead-on bulls-eye point (except maybe it's not ALL that matters). You are right about this. It's why I've been of the opinion that they should...

I don't know why anyone would disagree with that (except maybe the people who just want Fallout to be another FPS). The PA tech demo from Troika made it look quite feasible, and that impressed me. Several different functional cameras/perspectives (instead of just FPP and OTSTPP) would, at least...

Well, your knowledge is lacking then. In their flagship franchise even, there were playable demos for TES:Arena, TES II:Daggerfall and TESA:Redguard. There's one born every minute. They tapped into the market that thought a plastic kiddie pool was so awesome because of all the scenery around...

Because that's a justification when it comes to the quality of a big budget game 11 years later?

No kidding. Where the hell did the DC ghouls come from? Were they all on the Olympic sprinters team before the war? Well, I guess that's what comes of a stupid concept like feral ghouls. As far as hostiles go, they should have just stuck to the shambling ghouls (as in Necropolis in FO) about...

You could do that. Or you could play the demo which was wisely provided. Where's Fallout 3's demo? Oh, that's right, Bethesda makes up lame excuses and refuses to release a demo so that people who don't go to conventions or trade-shows can try it. So, how am I expected to judge Fallout 3 without...

Seems that in their zealous quest to ape FO1 and not be at all like that FO2 silliness, they forgot that there actually was quite a bit of story/world development to be carried over from FO2.

Great. So, they still made something that looks and smells like shit so far. Preview videos, videos of the leaked copy and the information that has been released so far is enough of a 'whiff'. I know what chocolate is, this is not it. This is a flashy, over-hyped substitute with nothing more...
