    Starfield

    Here is something I noticed a few days ago... Both Oblivion and Death Gate each have an assassin's guild called the Brotherhood, whose lair has no obvious way inside, and the PC must discover how to infiltrate it by becoming a member. Both Oblivion and Death Gate each have a prisoner trapped...

    Create art piece of Duke Nukem in New Vegas

    Nightcafe.studio It's quite possible to carve up and composite multiple AI renders into an aproximation of the final image, and have the AI use that as a basis for its renderings.

    Create art piece of Duke Nukem in New Vegas

    It's doable with AI, but it will take a lot of experimenting for just the right prompt for the AI. This last one needs a lot of touch up fixes in Photoshop / Photopea.com

    V.A.T.S. is (almost) useless

    Alas, that's not the fault of VATS—per se. Bethesda's VATS is a naive imitation of aimed shots from Fallout 1 & 2. It's also vestigial RPG baggage in a game that really doesn't want to be one. The problem is (Just as you say) that it's because they painted themselves into a corner with having...

    Tim Cain's Unofficial Involvement with Fallout 3: Van Buren's Cancellation.

    How many people here have done Sufi dancing? (raises hand)

    V.A.T.S. is (almost) useless

    What kind of suspension of disbelief? (Serious question. :hide: )

    Fallout Et Tu (Mouse lag then freeze)

    Technical malfunctions aside... the game is originally 640x480. The mods enlarge the screen area, but not the art itself. I could not recommend playing the game at higher than the minimum graphics mode supported by your video card/OS; (eg. 800x600 to 1280 x 960~ish). The game is pixel art, not...

    Starfield

    ...So they basically ripped off Captain Blood. (?) * The game, not (excellent) the film.

    New Reno Sign (Fallout 2)

    Sadly I am not so sure about that. I do suspect that they simply discarded rather than misunderstood. Discarded for extreme simplification of premise; the fifties, but in the future. Something the mass-majority can quickly grasp....certainly not the anticipated future of the 1950's pop culture...

    New Reno Sign (Fallout 2)

    Why would the city not have rebuilt the sign as many times as needed over their history? The sign would have been their most recent (as of 2077) version assuming none was made after the war—which isn't necessarily not so.

    The best Moral Dilemma in the series?

    The interesting moral dilemma in Fallout [1] was when people found out the consequence of their actions in the end—and immediately replayed the game to undo their actions to avoid having those consequences happen. I don't know of that happening with Fallout 2, and would scarcely believe it of...

    The best Moral Dilemma in the series?

    ...and not kill the Necropolis ghouls by stealing their water purification chip?

    Fallout 1 or Fallout New Vegas?

    It's not that; it's how it is in the proper series. The later FO2 devs just didn't understand the setting. Most of their special encounters were goofy, and none of them should ever have existed inside of a town or anywhere that the local population would plausibly know of them. That stuff is...

    Fallout 1 or Fallout New Vegas?

    IMO Wild Wasteland [perk?] should not have been optional; it should have been baked into the world setting, and never pointed out to the player.

    Fallout 1 or Fallout New Vegas?

    There is no practical difference—it's a character personality. Each would approach the same situation in their own way; same with Indiana Jones, same with Gandalf the Grey. One can play each of them in distinct character.... and each played as the other would be out of character. That's the...

    Fallout 1 or Fallout New Vegas?

    For myself, I have never had a problem with pre-fab characters, so long as there is a reasonably defined personality, and a backstory to play; that's how one can know the character's probable behavior. The difference between Snake Plissken, Marty Mcfly, and Irwin Fletcher is all in the...

    Fallout renewed for another season

    Often times a company will do something intentionally anti-consumer to avoid later expense; like having an onerous everything-on/opt-out configuration rather than deal with customer support calls for when something doesn't work because it was (wisely) switched off. It saves them money.

    Fallout renewed for another season

    So... does not having a chat feature save them the gargantuan hassle of policing the player chats?
