    Chris Keenan on skills and perma-death

    True, if you talk about really dying. But what if the worst that could happen to a character was being unconscious? In most games, they just stand up after the fight, but that actually doesn't make too much sense. There's nothing that prevents a game from interpreting unconsciousness a bit...

    Chris Keenan on skills and perma-death

    Absolutely. Perma-death has never added anything of real value to a non-ironman-mode party RPG. In ironman, sure, that's great, as that is exactly what you want. In a game where you can reload anyway, it doesn't add anything but unneccessary frustration. Something in-between as in the BG...

    GamesIndustry Brian Fargo Interview

    Actually, I think he meant what he said - cause and effect. That you get feedback for what you do. That you have a sense of achievement. This is genre-independant. For Sim City, this is very apparent. For GTA, not so much, other than story progression, so I don't know how the GTA...

    Afterfall: InSanity will get an Enhanced Edition patch

    It's like that all around Europa, more or less. ;) The Witcher, Minecraft, Afterfall, The Whispered World (and all other adventures by Daedalic, Germany), EVE Online gets better and better, who knows how many kickstarter projects, etc. Long live the European Republic! *patriotism, etc.*

    Afterfall: InSanity will get an Enhanced Edition patch

    The game was actually pretty fun. But as with all story driven games with no freedom it will be near impossible to motivate me to play it again because I know the ending. Yeah... I also rarely watch movies twice...

    Dead State designers considering Kickstarter

    I really wouldn't describe that as shit, but I do have to wonder why someone with "Posts: 1" can post a news item. Seems random to me. Or is he an alt?

    No Mutants Allowed front-page redesign

    Definitely agree here. It really bites somehow. Likely because it has such a contrast to the background image. Why not use the color of that as the background instead of white? I just changed the background of the "#main" in the CSS to #EEEEEE instead of the background image, and it really...

    (Don't) Give me that old time RPG combat

    I agree with you, danielje. All the article basically says is that it won't be menu based combat. And that one is pretty much given, so the the point in writing that article in the first place is probably just to educate people. Maybe. But please - OMFG. PLEASE! - do format your postings...

    InXile hires Mark Morgan for Wasteland

    And two weeks after Kickstarter there will be a photo of Fargo sitting in his new mansion somewhere on the Philippines, smiling devilishly, and we'll all be victims of one of the best trolling attempts in history.

    Afterfall: Insanity Demo

    One $ for pre-order? I don't think they'll get even close to 10 million. Still a pretty great idea from a marketing perspective, though, even if they don't reach their goal. They will have thousands of players who already spent 1$ on a game and will probably spend the rest, too, to play it.

    No jury in Bethesda vs Interplay

    Yup. There won't ever be games like Fallout 1 + 2 from AAA devs again. Look at indie devs if that really is what you are waiting for. Who knows what will come from that direction? ;)

    NMA was hacked

    I lol'd. :lol: Oh, well... n1, mr hacker. But.. uhm... I actually like this site, so could you give these people back their accounts so they can go on posting news and fixing security leaks. Also... why would anyone want to hack this site, anyway? To show that it can be hacked? To get...

    Bethesda changes law firm.. but not lawyers (Updated)

    I think the reason is pretty obvious. Bethesda is just superstitious, and third time is a charm, isn't it?

    FOOL dev quotes round-up

    Also, can't blame anyone for not being able to get into EVE. It's just not very beginner friendly. I tried twice and still felt overwhelmed. IMHO, it's just not a good idea to to place the player anywhere and tell him "Okay, here's your big, limitless world. Now go and do whatever you like."...
