Ah, not a case of electronic word confusion, but a bizarre writing stile. Gotcha. It was a poor assumption on my part then, but I found it a more credible reason than somebody actually writing that. "Slavering textures" seemed odd as well. To get more on topic: I guess that's why the...

All hail electronic translations! I get the gist of it but this quote: It's just too funny.

Also, the notion that "I've modded oblivion, and it's easy to simply create some barriers to close off the rest of the game" is a bit weird. Wouldn't that mean that if they released a blocked-off version, it would be trivial to *remove* the barriers and get access to the entire game? That...

Regarding the shotgun I thought of this: from deus ex.. (couldn't find an ingame pic)

Yes, I think you missed my point. GURPS is turn-based, hence they went with that. Since it is no longer GURPS, perhaps turn-based isn't the best option for the system they're now representing. I explicitly said I *wasn't* assuming, in fact. Let's reverse it: You can feel free to assume the...

I assure you I didn't double post on purpose, I was simply replying to your post while you were replying to mine etc, there were basically two discussions going. We seem to be synced now however. That I got, but the quote implies that turn based was selected to fit GURPS, but another system...

We'll just have to wait until someone has the guts to do it with an RPG again and see I guess. Isometric is only for walking and watching the result of your VATS actions then. I'm fine with first-person for conversations, since that's how it worked with many NPCs in FO anyhow(in a way)...

Nicely written article there. I'll get back to it presently: But then they left GURPS and developed SPECIAL. Like you quoted in your article: "If you want to exactly represent GURPs, D&D or most other PnP RPGs then you have to go turn based, which was the decision for Fallout when it was...

I'm not saying I know all the gripes, no. I just think there's very little information to gripe about. If given a certain quantity of information, there's only so much to gripe about. The gripes about things there is no information about are therefore either about things inferred, or about the...

In regards to your first paragraph - we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I believe the setting and atmosphere and such is more important than turn-based or not. I guess it's pen and paper-related in my case a well - I believe that any good roleplaying setting works equally well...

Is fallout-like "isometric turn-based" or "open-ended postapocalyptic RPG with dark humour"? Because I'd gladly give up the former as long as the latter is well-executed. The feeling of playing fallout far exceeds any mechanics, which is a testament to how seriously good those games were. I...

I'm definitely getting it. Even though I thought Oblivion was basically a piece of crap, I think it might work better with ranged combat, proper dialogue, and thought out design. Not having enemies scale to your level will also help it from a game point of view. From the setting...
