What disappoints me about the writing is sometimes so obvious that it literally slaps me in the face... :roll: One example is how Ranger Citadel has a set of elevator doors that bear "scuff marks" and "slightly warped" from where Rangers had tried to gain access, but to no avail. The...

After having played Fallout and Fallout 2 (RP) extensively over the years, my first impression of this Wasteland 2 release is, ...well, it's Fallout wearing a new coat. The similarities are all too striking, with game plot, events and even some game items so similar that they may as well be...

As this "restoration" project is entering nearly a decade of extreme fan dedication (for which I am eternally grateful) I can't help but wonder if, had other lost or abandoned PC games been treated as kindly, would their fates been any different? On a chance coincidence, I recently happened upon...

Agreed, there can be lots of subtle balancing to bring out real world social mirrors, like having more men for the women PC's. However, keeping within a "game world" psychology would it be practical to "pretend" to be gay as a quest solution? I suppose if the dialog tree was right, it would be...

This is rather late for a suggestion, but I'm just sort of sounding off just for the sake of it even as I know it won't ever come to fruition, but I just wish there were more marriageable women NPCs that would leave their world and travel with the PC. I mean, if one had say, a Charisma at high...

Not just that but, when you walk into Jenny's place (Klamath bath house), she acts like she doesn't even know him, LOL... (she had previously said that she thought they were going to be "something more" or some such romantic nonsense).

In addition to the random world map combats, I was just wondering if it would be possible to have surprise combat type encounters while one is at static locales? For example, when one is at a Ranger Safe House, what if Remnants of the Masters army, Slavers, Death Claws, Alien, whatever, stumbles...

One general odd thing that I'd noticed some time ago, was with the occasional Mobsters around New Reno; I remember several times, being able to punch them and knocking them out. That is, they weren't dead, just "...out of the fight" as the dialog box stated. I then went and robbed them of all...

Apologize if this was already discussed, but will there be any adjustment to the automatic trade cessation once a player hits a certain level (Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's around level 40?). It's a real annoyance once all the merchants become useless.

Maybe you should take his advice and "lighten up." How's that sound? Perhaps a little condescending, patronizing, or belittling? Now maybe you can appreciate how I felt. Then, after he talked to me like I'm three years old, he offers an equally inane rationale and raison d'etre for the...

I just love the way how you disparage the opinions of others when they don't seem to align with your own thought process. But, being that your opinion is as worthless as mine of anyone else's, you're free to your version of suspension of disbelief while I continue to entertain mine. Nuclear...

One of my pet peeves with the original maps in FO2 and the portrayal of climate vis a vis the types of structure, is that the area and surrounds of Klamath, etc (which would be present day Oregon) does not reflect the harsh freezing winter weather conditions that could arise there. Having adobes...

So, what you're saying is, that the BOS, as a military organization, relies on hearsay and rumor from passerby for their operations? If that were the case, it's no wonder that they had fallen on hard times. Further, even before the player does much of anything game wise (ie at the Den) he is...

The thing that I find obvious of the BOS sites is the intelligence sharing it seems to have system wide. That is, every BOS base has already heard of the Chosen One before his arrival. Ergo, they must have some way of system wide communications unless each of those BOS guys actually returns to a...

Oh, that Red Dwarf, LOL... I never really got into that series unfortunately. Although I did hear of it, sometimes Brit humor just escapes me; obviously, my loss then. Thanks ;)
