You can kill literally any character in New Vegas except children.

Find a different manufacturer who's more flexible, add something to differentiate the second run from the originals, sell more. Or maybe they think that option won't be worth it (which is understandable), but the fact they didn't expect such a high demand is so strange. They hyped the hell out...

I know that this can be an interesting joke to consider, but there's no actual way No-Bark is the Choosen One. The Fallout 2 ending says: After the Enclave's destruction, the refugees of Arroyo and Vault 13 resettled, building a new community with the aid of the Garden of Eden Creation Kit...

Generic NPCs around the game often comment that the Mutated Toe is the ultimate weapon against Frank Horrigan, and most people dismiss this as a silly joke, either throwing the toe away or (sigh) eating it. However, after multiple playthroughs of Fallout 2 and extensive research, I have found...

The Strip's problem wasn't graphics - aethetically, it looked incredible. The problem was the massive gates and walls inside it. While it may not initially appear so, they degrade the entire place's look in several levels. And they exist because the Gamebryo engine was seriously outdated...

How was the Civil War conflict morally gray at all? The game has one attempt to make the conflict appear fair, and that's in the very beggining when they have the Imperials arrest you to try to make a bad first impression for people new to the series, but everything else in the entire world is...

If you are playing on PC, I would highly recommend using the jsawyer.esp mod. It was made by NV's lead developer to make the game more like his initial vision, making it more challenging as well as more balanced in a lot of ways. It improves a ton of things and is definitely going to make your...

I always saw that as being simply an older design of Vault Boy, from an older model before they "updated" his look like companies often do with their mascots. Look at him, same face, same general style, just different colors, hair and clothes. It's the same character. Just like this guy looks...

There wouldn't be a problem with this if the Bethesda writing team wasn't so awful at making interesting characters. Connections between the player and NPCs (be it a romance angle, a friendship, or some other sort of "relationship") can work and in many cases they do work, but only if your...

776. "Star Paladin" is a better, more logical name than "Senior Paladin".

Fallout nukes have very low yields compared to real life bombs. There are several possible reasons why this is the case. Some say it's part of the flair of the series which isn't 100% realistic: much like the way mutations work, the mechanics of nuclear war are much closer to what the average...

The thing with NPCs dying to enemy attacks and such is all about NPC placement. Basically, if you place people where it makes sense for them to be in the world, they won't die - important characters in New Vegas weren't at risk because they were on settlements, bases, houses, etc... places where...

It's possible to become OP with any leveling system. Honestly, what people don't realize often is that balancing is freaking difficult. Accounting for every possible way players can take advantage of gameplay is really hard for developers. The balancing isn't about the number of stats you have...

I haven't seen Ant-Man yet, and unless I go watch as part of a date it's unlikely I actually go see it in the theater (which would be a first for Marvel movies). Funny things is, Ant-Man is actually my favorite Avengers... but they decided to portray my least favorite version of the character...

"Our belief is, 'We made the game, we made the game you're making a thing for.' So just like anything else, there is some kind of involvement that we're going to have in that," he said. Yes, and we paid for that game. That's how it works. Are you paying Microsoft or Apple for every game you...

Dead Money is anti-fun bullshit? It's probably the most interesting part of the entire game for me. You see, I get that a lot of people dislike Dead Money, either because they think the level design is confusing, or that the cloud and enemies are unfair. But there's a subtle magic to it. Right...

Gotta say I never heard about that project before, but this song really interested me and it's actually pretty nice overall. It's not a great song but I'll give it a 7/10 for trying some cool experimental rhythms not just here but in the other songs of the project.

You can argue that the Legion are better or worse than the other factions for various reasons and you could say they are morally reprehensible, but there is no way they are one-dimensional. Caesar only looks "cartoonishly evil" if the NCR's perspective is taken as fact. If you side with them...

6/10. The base for a great song is there, but instead of emphasizing the drums (which are really good, by the way) and the bass, it puts on a bit too much unstructured beats which end up sounding more like noise, still, I like the tune.

Fascinating stuff, thanks for posting this. Do you think the purifier plot could still be salvaged if it worked in a more sensible way (ie. no GECK involved, using more realistic procedures) or is it something that wouldn't have worked regardless as the backbone of the story?
