I lways hear people saying its easy to amass huge caches of meds, stimpacks, etc and gold in Fallout 3. Now I could just be really shit at the game but I can never seem to find anything like this. 75% of the time when I am playing I don't always have enough money for what I need and I run...

Actually, in many of the Ultima games its easy as hell to blow people away with low stats. In Ultima VII all you need to do is get yourself a suit of magic armour and the Shade Blade and you're all set. You can get those just after you leave Trinsic (the VERY BEGINNING of the game) and not only...

I fucking LOVE the idea of the Institute being a villain, aiming to gain control by replacing people with androids. This leads to so many possibilities! Sort of an "invasion of the body snatchers" type of thing yeah? I love this, could turn out to be amazing. So many plot possibilities!

So let me get this straight: It currently treats the entire Fallout 3 map as a single "area" ?

Whats wrong with using the critical formula to everything that can attack?

Can you please stop insulting people unprovoked? Disagreeing with you, or saying something you do not agree with, doesn't really count as provocation. It's hard to have a serious discussion with you inserting insults wherever you can.. it brings the level of the thread waaaay down.

By your criteria for RPGs, games like Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Ultima, et al are fickle and shameful too.

Fair enough, yes they were self sufficient, although I never really thought of Modoc as such.. Modoc always seemed to me, like a place that was pretty much doomed to be taken over by one of the more powerful players nearby, or doomed to wither away over time like Broken Hills. ..and no you...

Critical hits and the associated gore is one of the "pure fun" things in Fallout.. take them away and you're taking a pretty big risk imo. Only do it if you're absolutely sure they will be back and not relegated to the back burner for all time.

Oh ok.. they really don't leave any room for any other position. Fuck you Bethesda! I thought they might have been leaving it a little vague to build us up to some scheming manipulator, but no... that sucks. Also Ravager, in the Warhammer setting the orcs don't necessarily get smarter and...

Dunno what it is but it looks pretty retro and the dude on the right reminds me of JR "Bob" Dobbs. 7/10

I first came to NMA when I was looking for some Fallout hints, a friend linked me to the site years ago... I can't remember exactly when. I didn't make my forum account until I started coming here regularly although I never actually posted. I can't really say anything about the community...

Just because the official press release says that, it doesn't mean thats the actual reason it was cancelled. There are nearly always internal things that we never find out about.

Maybe so, but some of the theories in this thread about muties being manipulated sound pretty cool to me. It is possible that there is more to them than we know about, but hasn't been revealed to us yet..?

Ausir, you are a true veteran. You continue to blow us away with your awesome facts about Fallout or Fallout-related things, your discoveries going back to the days where you would outsmart the developers themselves. Your kickass ability to be Fallout rather than simply just a fan of it is...

Oh I do agree that there are things contradicting it a bit, but to me it just seems like maybe a relatively small amount of bombs actually detonated in comparison to other places. Seems logical to me.

When I think about it the only towns in Fallout 1 and 2 that seemed like "thriving civilization" were NCR and Vault City, and both of those places had a fuckload of problems that really prevents anybody from seeing them as idyllic and happy. Shady Sands was a small community and we didn't...

You don't need to implement every little tiny thing like obscure mathematics to make a good TC of an old game, this has been proven by previous TCs like Ultimas 5 and 6, as well as 7 (if we count exult). You can still capture the essence.
