    How did you discover Fallout ?

    In my own case it was a friend from elementary school moving back to Louisiana. He was in need of a stable mailing address for his package from Interplay to be sent. When it arrived, I gave it to him, and when he was done with the anthology set he gifted it to me. That was where I discovered...

    John Gonzalez Returns To Obsidian Entertainment.

    I would only ever play Witcher in 3d~iso (style) mode; never FPP, or close TPP. It ruined the series for me when they dropped those alternate camera angles.

    John Gonzalez Returns To Obsidian Entertainment.

    As I recall...Bethesda Studio was caught off guard by seeing UK players playing Oblivion in third person; shocked. I generally played Oblivion in third person. It didn't occur to them that someone would elect to play the game that way for more than a few moments, as a vanity. Of course...

    fallout classic t-51b heigth?

    Here are the game sprites side by side. Is this to be a hobby model /3Dprint, or to be a potential game mod? If you intend to put it in FO3 or NV, then a problem that will arise is that FO3's (and NV's) PA suits must conform to the human NPC animation skeleton; same as any clothing...

    fallout classic t-51b heigth?

    There is no guarantee that the outward joint locations are relative to the joints of the occupant. While not strictly the PA suit from Fallout 1, there is the PA suit from Van Buren. These looks to be 1:1 human proportions, but the in-game Knights at the Brotherhood bunker do not; IMO.

    Ashes 2063 Afterglow version V 1.06 has been released

    All of this time I thought this was about the game Hard Reset.

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Encounter maps that match the terrain in the overland display. *Also F2 shipped with a bug that influenced the frequency of encounters on the map based on CPU speed... which made them happen far too often when traveling on the overland map.

    what are the unmentioned towns and cities on the fallout 1 map?

    Those might only be evidence of pre-war populations. There would be large multi-square mile regions of uninhabited ruins found all over the continent.

    What's Poisoning the Fallout Community?

    Bethesda wanted to re-skin Oblivion; they did, and that's it. They bought the IP to strip mine it; tossing out the platinum while looking for fool's gold.

    Are There Any Differences Between Fallout 1 & 2 on Digital Storefronts? Which Version is Recommended?

    IIRC, in the unpatched Fallout 2 the overland random encounter rate is affected by CPU speed. So when installed on a modern (IE. blisteringly fast) system... it can mean having encounters every few seconds during travel on the overland map.

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    The original Fallout overland map tracked the terrain underfoot while traveling. Travel speed was affected, and in the case of encounters (or just choosing to stop and explore), the game would use a terrain appropriate encounter map. Alas this was lost in Fallout 2; perhaps they didn't even...

    Having played Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Fallout:Tactics, FO3, FO:New Vegas. I do consider the original first game to be the best of the lot.

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I've no qualms with one-click fast travel——provided that the developers account for impassable obstacles along the route, and for the effects of travel time on quests, timers, NPC dispositions, as well as expiring drug & spell effects. Also adjusting the frequency of random encounters to be...

    New Blood Interactive hints at something very Fallout-esque

    Fallout 2 had the same issue; different render settings on the sprites like Vic and the blonde ring girl.

    Fallout 3: The game that changed everything for the franchise.

    As I recall, Todd Howard stated that the world was initially a lot bigger (and mostly complete) before he made a call to cut out quite a bit of it as simply not needed. :(

    Fallout 3: The game that changed everything for the franchise.

    No I do not; what games? Do you mean the Interplay or the Bethesda titles? It's still traveling; a method that pays you for the trip. Same as with traveling by ship (in life, and in many games that have it). What's the point here? People got jobs on trains, planes, and cruise ships—and they...
