Rolston didn't do the main quest. Kurt Kuhlmann did. And the Dark Brotherhood questline wasn't as amazing as everyone always says it is. A couple of the earlier quests might have been considered good in a stealth game, but as it was Paglirulo just transplanted a stealth game's gameplay into an...

You either haven't played Oblivion or are too naive. The people in charge of Bethesda are in it for the money. They are greedy. Plain and simple. Sure they are trying to make it as good a game as they can, but who is the game aimed at? Oblivion showed us what kind of company Bethesa is now...

The stupidity of it...

Where's the cynical 'we don't know whether Daryl uses Fallout as inspiration and it looks like we never will' in the newspost?

No matter how you try and paint it the Megaton quest has one of the silliest backstories of any quest in any RPG ever. People worshipping the same item that destroyed their world? And a guy wanting to blow it up just so he can build a shopping mall on top of it? Only from the hallowed halls of...

You know what would be really cool? If Bethesda were actually able to identify the 'obvious' problems such as level scaling (and I'm quoting Pete on that) before they release their game, not afterwards.

I understand that the Xbox360 is their main development platform but would it have killed them to have at least one PC there so that we can hear about how the controls and interface for that handle? Or is all that stuff about "built from the ground up on all three platforms" just a load of...

Let's do the Oblivion review check. http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion/review/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion/a-2006032116531934065/g-20060112163636538018 Then Now No mention of Oblivion's load times or the "host of minor problems" in the review, infact there...

Ya, amazingly they aren't cheats but are actually for testing purposes.

Why bother writing out directions for people to try and follow when you can just write "I'll mark it on your map" every time. Bethesda has some of the laziest designers ever. There is no other word for it. They could write out the directions and make it optional to allow you to ask for the map...

Haven't Bethesda people actually secretly confided to VDweller or whoever that they actually think that Todd Howard is a nutjob? I definitely remember VDweller saying that someone from Bethesda told him that they all think that Pete Hines is actually "full of shit" but I can't remember what or...

It's like Bizarro world.

The reason why Oblivion's combat fell so far into the pure action camp and had little of the RPG influences was due to the enchanting system they had. Since you always hit it meant that so long as you had a weapon with an enchantment on it you were capable of doing lots of damage even if you had...

Obfuscating to the end. :-salute-:

He isn't talking about the Bethsoft forums is he? I don't think I have ever seen anything approaching eloquent flames on the Bethesda boards courtesy of summer and co.

Way to go Tom Chick, standing up for the people. He should be proud.

This belief that all games from before 2000 were somehow all turn based and isometric mostly seems to come from Xboys who only started gaming within the last 8 years or so. It's quite amusing to see this claim repeated over and over again that Fallout 3 some how needs to differentiate it itself...

Sounds good if true, although I'm still sceptical since if the dialogue and quest design is sooo good then they want to be showing it off as much as they can in order to convince us that even though they are doing so many other things wrong at least they've improved their quest design? Instead...

The poor guy is going to be feeling a little bit down when the game comes out and everyone criticises the hacking minigame for being boring, stupid, and gimmicky.

I also thought that although mine was more like "What?"
