Actually, it looks more like something straight out of The Goonies...

With the game set in a supposedly natural landscape, adding "belts of deadly radiation, valleys/fissures, flooding, landslides, hills, destroyed bridges and various other things" to pen in a large area of the east coast would seem more out-of-place than a relatively innocuous invisible wall with...

For me, the problem with oblivion's scaling was not so much the scaling itself, but the way leveling worked. If you "power level", that is, game the system so that you get the maximum attribute boosts every level, then even the leveled monsters get progressively easier. The problem with this...

There aren't many serious flaws that have bugged me about Fallout (1-2), but there are times when I wish the designers had taken a few more steps to enhance the gameplay. There are some holes in the "do anything, with realistic consequences" game design... For one example, a sneaky player...

I was not envisioning any fantasy-style bows or crossbows... nor as a common weapon, since there are indeed plenty of guns. I was thinking more along the lines of some hostile hermit who had built one out of a leaf spring or something. It could have very high penetration and damage (maybe even...

Need a Power Fist From Francis, not a ball gag? Buffout is your friend! ... Adytum

While we're on the subject, why weren't there crossbowmen in the game of Chess? Every time I play, I wish there was some piece I could use to attack safely from a distance. What were the designers of Chess thinking when they omitted any ranged piece? I mean, obviously the technology existed...

Well, I couldn't figure out why anyone would like actual sewers especially, so I figured he meant any kind of subterranean passage in a town. Mainly it was just fun to go back and think about some of the more obscure locations in F2.

As far as subterranean features go: Klamath has rat caves in trapper town. Becky's still is underground in The Den. The Toxic Caves go down a few levels. Modoc has the outhouse sewers and the area below the town well. The Slags live underground on the Ghost Farm. Vault City has the...

Per's guide implies that only the Scoped Hunting Rifle suffers from the short-ranged inaccuracy: The Scoped Hunting Rifle is very inaccurate at a range of 7 hexes or less (which is a little odd, I mean, if they're right in front of you, why not just ignore the scope?), but can be a wonderful...

Actually the line "Zed's dead" is a reference, in both Fallout and Pulp Fiction, to the movie Zardoz starring Sean Connery wearing thigh-high boots, red underpants, and red bandoleer suspenders. Yes, both Fallout and Quentin Tarantino enjoy bizarre esoteric pop-culture references.

If you ditch your companions and level-grind solo around Navarro, you should have a net gain of 2mm ammo, even if you dispatch the enclave patrols with your trusty Gauss pistol (I'm assuming you have Sniper by level 61!). In a patrol of about 6 soldiers, at least one or two will be carrying a...

Did you play the tutorial at all? It helps, you know. Drag the first aid kit to one of his active slots, click on it, then click on the character you want to heal.

If you really can't start over from another save file, you might want to try using a savegame editor from here, open the save file that's crashing, change something insignificant (give yourself a few extra Gambling points or something), then saving it and try it back in the game. It's possible...

There's nothing like taking out 5 Enclave soldiers in power armor every turn from across the screen with the Gauss Pistol. :twisted: The Sniper perk is the coolest game balance bug in history. I took out Navarro in my Vault suit!

IANL, but I think there's at least a chance that the IP (like Fallout copyrights) would end up being liquidated into the hands of their creditors. It would not be made public domain unless Interplay voluntarily did so, which they don't have any reason to do. The more assets they have for...

Well, since Dark Sun was an AD&D-based game, using the NWN engine (which also includes extremely flexible editing/creation tools) would be more of a mapping/scenario building effort than a modding/coding effort. Perhaps the Baldur's Gate engine would be more faithful to the original (also being...

Realistically: Vault 13 t-shirt Vault 13 flask Highwayman keychain Quality minicomic styled as a Cat's Paw magazine Coupon for buy-one-get-one-free at Iguana Bob's PipBoy themed box (not GECK, as that's kinda F2 specific)

I know a lot of these have been listed before, but I'd also like to see more "makeshift" weaponry that was actually effective, and used by raiders/civilian types. Clubs made from car axles, throwing disks (chakrams) made from hubcaps, homemade explosives (maybe with an instability penalty to...

Check that your companions don't have any "unarmed" weapons equipped either, like brass knuckles or a power fist. You have to either take away all their unarmed weapons and then switch them to unarmed, or use the "Ask you about your equipment" then "Make sure you aren't carrying any weapons"...
