So let me get this straight, your reasons for the fact that radio shouldn't be in fallout are 1) It's dangerous to listen to it in the wastes. 2) Some other game used it. hmmm.. Well number 2 is right out, I don't even think I need to argue that one. But number 1.. well that's a...

I love how everyone is treating this as a major outlay of technology. The parts to make a transmitter could be scavanged from any car I think. In fact an FM transmitter is one of those "electronics" kit projects that you have a kid. Take a look and see just how simple a FM transmitter is.. I...

I don't even know why I am bothering to reply to this inane thread... but if we want to talk about it "fitting into" the background of Fallout.. lets look at what we know.. Most of the radio stations that we know about (or that I have seen anyway) are from poweful factions (or possible...

I don't care if the radio stations are being transmitted by gnomes in my socks.. I am still glad they put them in. Yeah I am one of those people that loved the GTA radio stations. So it's inplausable... many many things are in fallout.. giant ants.. the virus that turns people into mutants...

I can think of quite a few.. most of the D&D ones were very linear in the areas you could visit. Sure you could go back and visit past areas.. but new area's only opened up as you advanced the story. Primarily this is how they got the level balancing right. While some of you might not...

I hate to point out the obvious.. but I am pretty sure I know why they designed the gun with the drum so far forward. I think it was to reduce the number of animations they had to make. the hand is in a natural spot for a rifle without a clip. Though I would have to look at the picture with the...

hmm.. what type of weapons do you think China might wield in this version of the past-future.. seems pretty likely to me they would be... drum roll please.. knock-offs of soviet weapons. Seems to me that would be a pretty likely source and we know they had a presence on the continent.. I think...

Damn right! I love fallout despite it's flaws. Unforntunately some of those were their systems. I loved the setting and the options of play. Combat was entertaining, but clumsy. Sneaking retarded. Writing was pretty good, but not great. All in all it was a great game... but you have to accept...

This type of shit irritates me. You always see people compare an aspect of a "multi-faceted" game to that of a pretty single-faceted game. Yeah, Fallout three may not have as many types of gameplay as some games out there, but it is going to have a pretty good variety of play styles. Sneaking is...

They just recently published Neverwinter Nights 2.. I don't find it hard to believe they won't fund obsidian or someone to make a new BG, *gasp* as an actual RPG

One thing I thought was funny is they said the game was "too barren"... which if you want to get across the idea of trecking across the wasteland, is exactly as it should be. I am sure the city isn't barren, but they need some barren space (or even alot). I am glad they redesigned the map and...

I think you are right.. they couldn't avoid it much since it was public knowledge that they bought the license. My major bone to pick is if you have enough to present to press, you have enough to put a quick gameplay video up. They probably felt pressure to announce. Though there is...

This illustrates my point in a way. Even though we aren't talking about AI, of these options to get the key, only 2 of them are "scripted", the other 3 are simply the application of global rules (steal, kill, barter). The same thing applies to AI and behaviour.. the more you have the global...

Part of my point is that they don't "learn" anything.. "Learning" AI has it's place.. but for the world simulation, IE. people guarding, going to lunch, and sitting around chatting about mudcrabs. This is all doable in a believable way through a series of motivators and behaviours. Ok.. I know...

Well I didn't mean to imply neural nets or anything.. they don't have to "learn", you just stack the behaviours in such a way that they appear to learn. It's simply a series of rules and motivators.. for example you apply a series of behaviours and motivators to the group (raider camp) and a...

It would be really impressed if after you killed a few of the guards at night, other raiders that were sleeping that night would take a turn guarding the next night. So you ended up with the same number of guards, but less sleeping people. It would be even more impressive if they posted MORE...

I think you are confusing what they are probably polishing. Dialog is options and voice over is set and can even be off in localization.. what I think they are probably polishing is the transition into dialog, the presentation and animation of the actor NPC's this can be worked on up until...

You know this is a crap argument.. I am sick of pigeonholing the console market as a kiddy market.. the fact is most console owners are adults. I myself have a PS3, and I'm 32 and have played PC and console games since I was about 6. I do tend to play more PC games than console games, but...

um.. being that he has the bloody mess perk.. that's what I would expect...

I think it's funny.. because I am actually getting pretty excited to play it.. sure it is different.. but I like the overall look of the world and I think it will be a great Fallout game.. sure it has different mechanics.. but to me it looks like it will be fun. Sure I don't like the lowest...
