I would like to point out that strictly speaking, the lack of visuals that someone is willing to put up with is limited, in degree, by their imagination. Hence the continued existence (albeit with reduced, siginificantly, popularity) of text based games such as MUDs. Visuals are great, but...

I consider myself an aesthete, and yet in terms of games I don't really care. I value performance in all things over (purposeless) beauty, when it comes to the utiliarianism of gameplay. If the artwork somehow compensated for something else being middling or poor, then so be it. I have never...

Uh, champ... One of my favoritest games of all time is Syndicate, which looks like absolute ASS nowadays, but to someone who has BEEN THERE, it still looks goddamn gorgeous. No one with any brain cells puts any stock in this graphics for the sake of graphics bullshit that is so carelessly...

I thought it was interesting, although I'm not sure how "canon" it was, since I don't know how much of that info made it into the game proper. I don't think all of the Vaults should have been experiments, but having some of them exist for that sole purpose... it could be a good plot device.

I do remembering hearing about that, I think it was mentioned in the FO Bible at one point.

This topic reminds me of a book I read by Heinlein: Farnham's Freehold. The protagonist ends up running a survivalist outpost/trade centre, and he buys virtually every book that people can bring him. Both to save them for the future and to read them himself. I would hope such sentiments...

The idea of weapon type specific perks isn't a bad idea, overall. The ones Lord 342 suggested are probably overpowered, though. Were you suggesting akimbo for the Trick Shot, by the the way?

What happens when you put people against a wall and say, "You have no choice!" They say, "Then I guess I won't make a choice." and put their hundreds of dollars back in their wallets. This is going to be amusing to watch.

There's no statute of limitations on murder, but this is not murder. How long can we punish someone for disagreeing, either maliciously or through ignorance?

I don't believe that it was ever suggested that the various "brahmin hide" armors were made ONLY of untreated Brahmin leather. Also, I think this Gecko armor was supposed to be better.

I was not aware that any targeted strikes with your bare fists (that were not critical) could knock someone over. I know you can with your feet, of course.

I might also like to see the implementation of unarmed knockdowns and unarmed strikes that either knock a weapon out of a hand or damage/cripple a limb. Anything to make it more fair for the dude who has to charge a guy with a minigun.

I'm curious how one would make "gecko-skin" armor that wasn't useless, thanks to the process of KILLING the Gecko to begin with. Not to mention, it obviously would have to be more than simply Gecko skin since that has amply demonstrated that it does not block bullets. At all.

They were called, by YOU, mind you, NPCs. That means you don't jump into their heads and begin playing them directly. Non-intuitive. I think it would ruin ALL the immersion, since one of the central tenets of this game was that, ultimately, you were on your own. That includes not suddenly...

Reference to the boxing sequence in F2 is the only POSSIBLE reason it could be there.

Here's a lame idea in general: Digging on an admin and calling him an idiot. Seriously, if he was just in a bad MOOD you could be >poofed< in a second.

I really am looking forward to this, and I hope it is an improvement over the original. Rome Total War had so many flaws, and it was even EASIER to manhandle the AI, no matter the difficulty, in that game. I remember wanting to keep playing as a Roman faction, which it would not let you do...

Honestly your grammar needs some work. Are you suggesting that it is easy to see that colonization is bad, or good? Although I don't know how anyone can be so blind as to call blatant imperialism "good" in any circumstance.

So they are developing optical processing with a quantum process, concurently. I was wondering when we'd get optics up and running for computing.
