I'm kind of curious how the whole situation between Bethesda and Obsidian was initiated. Have any of the parties involved said who was the first to approach the other? Was Obsidian hired to do the "sequel" then allowed to pick a location and story or were certain things such as Las Vegas...

Really? Apparently I've a perception problem. Thanks.

Okay, I'm on PC so I don't know if this works great on 360/PS3 but the inventory being cluttered with dozens of Caravan cards and bullet components really sucks when trading with vendors/teammates. Is there a fix to this? I noticed that I've got a key ring, is there a card box or a...

So I'm undecided on whether I want to try 4 eyes on my next play through. I'm only at level 10 so I've not seen any of the late game content. I'm wondering what are the best glasses/hat combo anyone has found vs. the best helmets? So far I'm thinking: generic cowboy hat +1 PER, glasses...

I'm confused, how does Luck 9 equate to +65 skill points? Also why is everyone treating the +450 of INT 10 as all a player has to utilize. That's leaving out the starting value of each stat (generally b/t 15-20, plus the 3 initial tag stills). So 3 of the skills you want 100 in will likely...

Re: enough skill points to make all rounder but not mediocre Well the wiki give this info: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Intelligence The number of skill points gained each level up is based on the formula 10 + (0.5 * INT), where INT is your Intelligence. If you get a non-whole number...

There will certainly be some sites and journalists who just praise whatever Bethesda offers, but there are many gamers who never knew Fallout could have good writing. Fallout was just a stat based Wolfenstein. I've little doubt that if Bethesda's effort in FO4 results in a FO3 like...

But reviewer after reviewer is talking about better writing, quests, and environments. These were major points that should have been panned in FO3 but seldome were. Now that NV has shown the sort of writing Fallout could/should have - FO4 will be held to that standard. So, either Bethesda...

You're right, there does need to be good balancing for the combat system to work. But it's a 6 six long scorpion, maybe they should treat a 6 ft armored death machine is a late game enemy for when we've got better weapons and armor (okay so really sounds like they kind of have). As to the...

There are certainly some games that assign a win/loss determinant to stealing when you load a cell. So, perhaps they could make it where when you enter town X, a roll is made based on your dexterity and steal skill and scores determined. The resulting values could then be matched to...

I'd more hope for an in between. I can understand a 250 lb armored tank of a bug w/ giant claws and a stinging tail requiring more than 3 shots from a hand gun unless you have sick gun skills and place all shots to vital locations. Think if you tried using a hand gun to take out a polar...

Surely this is a joke. You're just posting to see who will bite, right? You've been leery of jumping from FO 1 & 2 to FO3, then right after New Vegas (a semi-sequel that is regularly being praised for a return to good writing, quests, and game world) is released you buy the older FO3 that...

Re: Pictures of guide: Gun mods, HC, sleeping area, & SN Wow, color me impressed. I wasn't sure whether I really wanted to deal with dehydration, etc... in hardcore mode. Having skimmed the first 2 or 3 pages in the guide on it's implementation, I think it sounds great. I don't like...

I think his point was that Intelligence has often been an overpowering stat in Fallout and it's nice that it isn't for once. & I have to agree. In Fallout 1, 2, & 3 I always have Intelligence at 7 or more for the skill points. Maybe it's because I'm a sucker for converation skills and science...

So it's obviously the form of a man, presumably using a stealthboy. I didn't see the vid, is this screen taken from the players view or from some floating camera. It's likely that player character back there, but if the scripted for certain NPCs to actually intelligently use things like...

What's up with that pic of "Arcade Gannon", that's the ugliest NPC I've seen since the original PlayStation. Am I wrong or does he look significaly less detailed and polished than anything in FO3 or most other games? Other pics are pretty nice. The legion outpost has NPCs that look to...

I love that pic, very well done. As I've said before, more than 3 Vaults in 1 regions seems like overkill, but whatever, if they are well designed then I'll have fun with what they offer. Reading that depending on the player's decisions, a certain object will need to be found in different...

Fallout 2 > Fallout 1 > Fallout 3 > Fallout Tatics

Thanks for the info I may have to give Steam a try. I know admitting this shows I'm a bit out of touch with the progress of PC gaming, but I've actually never downloaded anything from Steam. I'm of course aware of it, but while putting myself thru nursing school a few years back, my wife and I...

Wait, you're telling me there are reviewers that actually pay attention to and critique the story and dialogue....bull. Pics or it never happened.
