Has that other free D20 project (the one GCG threatened) been resurrected in light of GCG getting their much (imo) deserved slap from ZeniMax?

Heh, Colin the cleaner with nukes? Dogmeat will probably end up being replaced by the Andrex puppy at this rate. Honestly the fact they aren't wanting to gloat about VATS and the err Toilets and stuff is rather strange. There's over a year to go, but we knew a hell of a lot more about Obliv...

Toilets/water sources will probably work like the Ayelid-Wells & Way-shrines in Oblivion. You get to re-energize fully off them once a day, and then they need to recharge. These were placed along travel routes, or out in the wilderness - not in combat areas/dungeons, idea being that you refuel...

Guess I would have to say the universe from the space sim I-WAR2 - Edge of Chaos. It's basically humanity living on the edge of known space, light years from Earth trying to scrape a living from a few barren rocks. Most of the population live on cobbled together space stations, whilst a couple...

Ah shame, cheers anyway Brother None. Heh, love the 'No Mages Allowed' poll regarding Arcanum :)

Great article, quite good timing as well. Hopefully it will help some people better understand the community, though doubt it will radically change the general view! Daft question: Is the original geocities site mirrored anywhere (archives.org)? Would be amusing to see what it looked like :)

The even dafter thing (regarding the car) is the simple fact that stuff that goes 'boom' is a commodity item in the FO universe. You'd think scavengers would have nicked anything of value like fusion cells/reactors or whatever from them. Guess the Post Apoc population in DC didn't put enough...

Ooh yes, mounted combat - didn't that just seal the deal with Oblivion! At least they have re-listed us now (to be fair), though I do have to wonder how long that will last - given the majority of us seem to have taken offence to their product. We may not be quite as vocal as the (I Love...

Looks great, but as someone who actually wouldn't mind an electric car - doubt I will ever be able to afford something that fancy! Bring on the cheap electric cars, that don't look like toasters (and can you can still break the speed limit with). :)

It's weird (though not surprising) that Beth asked for them to be taken down, as surely any publicity is good publicity -ahem- But seriously given how they can't find the time to clarify stuff, and seem to have handed the buck on that front over to GI exclusively, why get involved in a take...

Sounds good. How about a relabel to 'No Orcs Allowed' complete with a big red line through Beth's abomination, to put the icing on the cake? :twisted: Both Age of Dec and Omega Syndrome look damn cool, O.S. especially. I tried the demo earlier and was hugely impressed, heck it felt more...

Nice comparison of the mutties Tannhauser. Here's a screengrab of Beth's gatekeeper mutant from Shivering Isles... Bears a few similarities to their Super Mutant, even has a green shader thing going on :P

Turn based is not dead. I play Galactic Civilizations II, a rather successful series which is growing fast. It is turn based, and still people are buying it in droves. It was in the Top-10 for some period after launch, and still is on some charts. I like the way your making an exception for the...

Your forgetting their track record, the track record for new FO games, and simple fact that the screens don't resemble the established FO universe (which most of us know and love). It's like ID-Software showcasing Quake5 as a turn based side scroller with 'my little pony' graphics. You wouldn't...

As I said earlier in this thread the toolkit won't allow you to radically change the game. Many of us TES fan's tried and failed to improve Oblivion, to at least make it as engaging as MW. In all the time that it has been out, no one has managed to do anything more than fiddle with what they...

I had a nightmare about being dipped once, happened after a good nights drinking. Never had any other FO related ones though.

Well yeh, but Bethesda already had a track record for making miserable games before they even got the FO license. Every game they have made post Daggerfall has been progresively worse. So combine the two facts and you can see why we aren't exactly holding our breath on this one.

Nightwish - Sleeping Sun

We are making this assumption because we have been here before, multiple times. We have learnt to read the articles, and de construct the spin. FO3 may not be a bad game per se, but it is evident to a good number of us that it has lost the essence of the FO universe. There's more to FO than some...

Bullshit. If cartoony 3D looked bad Pixar would be in serious trouble. I suggest you check out Sam N Max and Starcraft2 - if they are a bit too obscure for you, google 'World of Warcraft'. I would argue 'realistic' 3D looks far worse. The closer one tries to simulate reality the more obvious...
