Indeed. I honestly think that this has more to do with the quality of Bethesda's VA than anything else - it's just easier to get someone in a local area to drive down for a day or two to sit in a recording booth and drink herbal teas than it is to fly someone from across the continent to do the...

Thanks, this seems to work.

I've only recently installed the GOG.com version of Fallout 2 for my Vista machine, and, deciding I wanted to chea... I mean, uh, after encountering a couple of item bugs, I downloaded Falche2 to fix my troubles. So after rummaging through Appdata for a while with the help of NMA's technical...

Them rebellious patties will swear to the Empire again, by hook or by crook! :D Hmm. I assumed from the accent he must have been a foreigner. Scrap metal? All the yachts and tugs lying about? Wooden houses? Hell, the trees all look decayed and scrawny, but that probably means that their...

Let's be fair - people have been crossing the Atlantic for a good millennium now, and FO2 shows that it only takes a couple of spare parts to get pre-war boats back in shape. Hell, according to the original Fallout, a few miles from the coast the Ocean goes back to being pure blue. Really, a...

True. And considering that on the Nexus people are already making new areas and NPCs with adequate pathfinding, Ièm starting to actually feel pretty optimistic about the viability of this project.

The existence of things like Black Mesa Source prove that this kind of undertaking certainly can be done, but it's still the kind of project that is likely to take years and huge numbers of dedicated modders to make. Of course, most of the enemies and textures are there already to play with, but...

So then is it like... racing sim fans that are buying it in droves?

This just makes the compressed non-desolate nature of the 'active' worldmap even more damning. So much space to play with in making a wasteland and they only used so little. Oh well, good news for modders and expansions, I guess.

Well, the thing about Fallout 3 was that you could tell that Bethesda was desperately trying. Even if it wasn't anywhere the quality of Fallout, it was, as one person said, 'A swell cover band'. I don't hold out much hope for Fallout 4, because honestly, the only thing Bethesda might decide...

Gob is implied to be a slave to Moriarty... So that's one I guess. Then again, this is another symptom of the Minimalist disease, where the Vault of 1000 people seems to be composed of about a dozen people and two levels, and agriculture consists of one or two domesticated Brahmin in the...

It's not a Star Wars fansite, it was built from the ground up by a veteran of these debates from the nineties as a SW vs. ST site. One of the few on the net, and certainly the most reliable for accurate calculations, active community, and general correctness on the matter of whose pew-pew lasers...

Fallout 3 definitely is dumbed down from Fallout 1. Then again, the original Fallout was dumbed down from Wasteland, and its only really improved feature were its better graphics. But the atmosphere and style of Fallout caused many people to ignore the fact that it had less descriptive text...

Hmm... I think I did like Modoc, come to think of it. Arefu is actually pretty derivative of Modoc, really. But I like cannibals more than molemen. As for the NCR-New Reno-VC storyline, aside from the fact that it felt totally unfinished (and probably was- another big problem with F2 that F3...

Now that's a plot twist. And he could be just one of a whole race of Bombs.... From Space.
