yeah, you know, plasma rifle to the face of some dude who came from alabama, then you kill yourself?

Yeah most PCIe 2.0 cards will work in a 1.0 slot - the only drawback is bandwidth is lower Honestly, I do that right now. I do want to upgrade my mobo to one that supports PCIe 2.0 eventually.

Is the 260 even compatible with your mobo? I mean at this rate I would upgrade to a new MoBo that has PCIe 2.0 and take advantage of a new CPU and memory - then when you DO get a 260, your MoBo can 1) handle it or (at least) 2) take advantage of it fully.

The temple of trials is absolute crap. It wasn't even a planned location originally in the game. IIRC, marketing insisted that the devs put in a tutorial level... and the Temple of Trials was the result of that edict. Even then, it is terrible at being a tutorial :) Also, FO1 wasn't...

Throwing in my agreement on the setting I did really enjoy playing FO3. Parts of the main story (V87, and Raven Rock - esp. dealing with Eden = worst dialouge in the game) and the end game sequences were just terrible (Liberty Prime does amuse me, however :) )

Except - THEY CUT THAT OUT of the final game because, oh, I dunno, maybe they knew better? ;) I'm pretty sure FO1 also had a way longer dev cycle too. F2 was released only like 10 months after F1. Most of the games assets and engine were borrowed from the first game - so that is a lot of...

Remember, ALL powered armor in FO3 needs the training. I can't remember where to get the recon armor though, sorry :(

Well, as far as replayability and fun... yes, new reno has it. I don't hate the area, it's still one of my favorite places to visit for certain character types. I just admit, at least to my self, that it doesn't feel that fallout-y. I also have issues with these locations not feeling so...

Honestly, most of FO2 isn't all that fallout-ish. MY OPINION: While gangs, prostitution and drug use aren't out of place. A city where all the casinos work again, the mafia was reborn, technology rampant for excessive neon, gambling machines, movie making, and drug production in a town...

The recon armor is pretty good. However the brotherhood/outcast armor is the only one, that I know of, that will give you a +2 ST bonus though with a -2 AG penalty (so will enclave power armor, but only +1 ST with a -1 AG penalty)

not so much shoehorning you into the main quest (even though it does facilitate that) as much as a way to prevent players walking around with power armor on at level 5. however power armor is a bit gimped in FO3, so having that is not as much as an advantage as finding it super early on in FO...

.223 FTW i carry around that and a sniper rifle for long range attacks, use it for most of my small gun stuff for a whole game sometimes. if i don't use energy weapons for a session, i use those almost exclusively. i almost NEVER use big guns. i should play a character with a big gun...

I think Moira is a hilarious character

aww! what a cutie!

It doesn't. While I like the dialouge options and writing in the Oasis setting, it looked like a level designer wanted: 1) something with Harold 2) something fantasy kitschy 3) probably more than anything else - wanted something with color to show the game can show something other than...

I'm not a big fan of the oodles of extra services Vista runs or SuperFetch You can turn some of them off, but damn, WHICH ONES?

I'm curious how that works, if the OS can only physically address 3.2 GB (assuming that is what is being reported), how is the extra memory addressed if device I/O is mapped there instead? (serious question, not trying to be snarky)

Finesse *should* give you a +5% crit chance regardless of your luck.

hence why i have only 3GB on my 32 bit XP system, knowing well that buying more memory is a waste :)
