We know that yeah but not everybody dives into the lore as deeply as we do.. the Fallout Bible tells us a lot but there's not much in the actual game to tell us otherwise, besides one or two quotes.

Thats because... and this is going to come as a revelation to you... Bethesda designs their RPGs with a focus on first person perspective! Gothic is designed specifically to be played in a third person perspective... of course they are going to suck ass when played in camera angles they weren't...

Ironically this is basically what you are advocating. Without changes or new features, this is what you are left with. Also, since you're all extolling the virtues of Diablo 3... surely you haven't missed some of the changes Blizz has made to the game, and the massive outpouring of fans of...

Yeah I agree Ausir.. it seems like they fucked up the Shi concept majorly.

Did they have "maybe" in it? I can't seem to remember... heh.

..I'm not new, I have been coming to this website for years. and lurking the forums. I just never started posting until now. Are you sure the guy was talking about Starcraft 2 and not Starcraft: Ghost? Because SC: Ghost was originally in first person, and later changed to third person (although...

I don't agree with you that the game is "mainly crap" in any way, shape, or form or that its "not Fallout." I think the dialogue isn't always great but they certainly didn't fail at all, imo there's plenty of good dialogue and I never particularly noticed it as being "miserably" bad. How did...

My impression: Its technically flawed, but good lorewise My impressions of Fallout 3 after having played it quite a lot. Overall I think for their very first effort, especially after having picked up where others left off, was a decent job. But I think there's a few key problems, all of which...

Yes you guys are right... the whole "kung fu" thing does seem to be kinda silly and way out of place. WTF were they thinking? I never thought about it that way before but you guys have blown my mind, lol. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be running a very militaristic town? Maybe...

FPP? Do you mean first person? Since when does a single guy represent the whole company's view anyway? It also seems like you are implying that Bethesda is using an entire franchise as a tool to show how they would develop Starcraft 2. WTF? You are just LOOKING for stuff to criticise and most of...

I think you're actually just over-analysing something that actually has no bearing on the Fallout setting and using it to bash Bethesda. The "known Fallout design" really doesn't say anything about pre-war military tactics and armament strategies, and even if it did, a single minor thing like a...

It seems that there's a hell of a lot of people around (not just on NMA) that think the Shi don't "fit in" with Fallout and that they somehow "fuck up" San Francisco.. many of them seem to think the same thing about the Hubologists. Why? I thought they were interesting, and I thought their...

Interesting conflict there, I guess the devs never really thought much about the different suits too much, which I can understand. As long as somebody clears it up though, its cool. ok, I agree that they probably wouldn't do it, I was just saying that if they could, there's nothing really...

Well, you got me there with the assault rifles, there is obviously some sort of problem there. Either one of them was in use though so imo either is acceptable, something small like that isn't really too important. As long as they don't omit assault rifles I'm happy.. However I still think...

If you thought the science areas were "omg bodies in tanks, scary/faux horror!" I think you are seriously wrong in your interpretation... That stuff came off to me as reinforcing the Enclave's view of the outside world, that everybody they do not consider to be "human" or "good enough" as...

You do have a point there, although what does "mostly into energy weapons" entail? I find it hard to believe that a military force in a world seemingly struggling for resources would simply drop automatic/semi-automatic rifles entirely. I think they would still be using them to some extent as...

First of all I didn't make the damn topic to debate the validity of Fallout 3, this is not about ****ing Fallout 3. I was just speculating as to whether the events of Van Buren might still have happened.. I can't find anything in the lore that excludes that possibility. Yes and this could...

Ok, but in this case its something I WOULD like to experience because the Fallout setting is probably my favourite setting out of any game's setting, and the more I can learn and experience within it as a gamer, the better. Under your logic it doesn't matter who develops it, it should remain in...

Thanks for the info Dubby, it will definitely come in handy later on.

Why was there "no logical reason?" Sequels are USUALLY set after their previous titles... I never said there was "no logical reason" for Fallout 4 to be set after Fallout 3, I said it didn't HAVE to be. As in I was just posing ideas for the next one to be set in a similar time period so we could...
