The problem with RPGCodex is that they really don't like opposing opinions. I can understand that they want the rabid immurshun tards and Biodrones out of their boards, but they also manage to attract the worst wastes of human resource from the old school RPG fans. I mean some of the discussions...

That depends on better in what way. I'd say there's a chance that the writing, story, and the setting will be better than in Fallout 3, but that's not certain. There will be better, or at the very least, less rushed and confused writing than in Skyrim. Dialogue will probably be better, but going...

Greg Bear was one of the Asimov fanfic writers that got published. My brother actually read all three of the books in the "Second Foundation Trilogy" (written by Bear, David Brin, and Gregory Benford) and from what he said they really pissed all over the entire Foundation universe. So yeah, he's...

I'm not really sure (1.2 or something, but I wouldn't bet on it), all I know that my brother and I have checked many times and stuff that were fixed a long time ago - like Grey Knights being nerfed so as to not have Space Marines be op - are all missing.

I want the actual base building Dawn of War back. I don't like non-base building RTS (except for S.W.I.N.E. maybe), thus I've never played and probably will never play DoW 2. (The original Dawn of War series doesn't even have all the patches for it on Steam, I remember there being a million...

He means the militant trilby-wearing (or fedora, or whatever) atheism. Many people consider that a religion. Anyhow, I just read Dan Abnett's The Armour of Contempt and Only in Death. I love Dan Abnett, but I always notice huge continuity errors, but I guess that's partly the fault of WH40k's...

Is that really ever claimed? I've been reading some of these feminist writer's theoretical work - I had to, free credit course - and although they are hard to understand for me, as far as I can tell they don't claim that men and women are equal in all respects. Nor do they claim the problem...

He means racism that is supported by so-called science to prove that certain peoples deserved to be enslaved and treated like sub-humans because the group doing said enslaving is only doing it for the benefit of the people who have been proven to be inferior. At least, that's what I think it means.

This is going to sound extreme, but I say let dead franchises stay dead, start something new instead. Wasteland 2 would be a so much better game if it wasn't hold back by the fact that it is a Wasteland sequel, and I get the feeling that Torment: Tides of Numenera will be massively held back by...

I'm not much of a legal mind, but I thought Bethesda has everything regarding Fallout. Meaning they can make as many Fallout games as they want and they control everything about the past Fallout games, published or unpublished. I don't know if that means a well-known codename for a major...

I wouldn't be surprised if inXile got sued. What was that I heard, that Bethesda sued people for using the word "scroll" somewhere in a trademark?

That's true, but at times I wish it wouldn't have been there. The Lieutenant's over the top death scene was just a bit too much. I'd say that the earlier Fallout games treated war seriously, even if violence was portrayed like "duude did you see that shit, his head blew off, duude". Fallout 3...

When did this happen? All I know is that Sea shit talks them on the RPGCodex forums, but I don't know what role does he have at inXile. Did Brian Fargo go out and specifically say "fuck Bethesda"? edit: nevermind, I found it. Well, that's that for an inXile Fallout game. Shit talking ZeniMax...

9/10 nice headdress for the statue It's Marlo Stanfield from The Wire, one of the best written pure evil characters of all time imo. Anyhow, here's another shot of him, taken from one of the best scenes involving him.

I almost hate to say this and I know that I'm gonna regret it, but fuck it: the Fallout franchise was never about mature portrayal of violence and murder. The descriptive texts were completely juvenile, the game tried to make you feel good about killing the evil people, and let us not forget all...

What if ZeniMax contracted inXile to do a Fallout game? I know it's unlikely, but I can dream. Anyhow, these are exciting news, but I can't imagine that these would be projects for the near future since they already have Torment in the works.

When did he say that? Anyhow, it's quite rewarding to actually listen to some of the stuff they say because there are some good ideas beneath the horseshit. For instance the fact that they actually speculated on what's evil in a post-apocalyptic world. It provides a good reason why the entire...

But then there this video in which he talks hell of a lot differently: link The Bethsoft forums, right? Too bad none of those posts exist now, I'd love to read them, see what they have to say.

I think it's a bit extreme to say that none of them played the original Fallout games. However, it is the naked truth that imo only one of them was a fan of the franchise, he was the one who originally said to buy it up. I think it might have been Emil Pagliarulo, not 100% certain. Anyhow, I...

About Harkness: I have argued for this in the Bethesda forums before - the fact that Harkness is said to be capable of all this, doesn't mean it's true. Maybe for some reason he imitates these behaviors and somehow believes that it's the real thing. This is not something that I'm pulling out of...
