Or can we have a can of spray paint so we can spray a big "S" for Sulik or "C" for Cassidy on their combat armor?

Uh, the rail gun is a naval weapon. The problem with hand-held gauss rifles is the same as hand-held lasers. Power consumption is ridiculous. I would say we will get time sometime after fusion generators... Also, what's the ADVANTAGE of a infantry gauss rifle? You are still shooting...

What is over-the-shoulder about that - seems utterly vanilla to me. Oh, and "yay I have really long arms"

For the sub... all the signs and computers etc. should use chinese. Which you don't know. But maybe you can grab a Shi NPC to translate? I bet you could hack this with the Vic/Myron (Repair/Science) skill but for speech. The chinese stuff just requires a speech of 300 or something silly...

Well, it's pretty OK, I'll give it that. I do like the way Charisma actually matters in the game, and the fact that IN effects dialog is cute. ST/EN/AG I give them a pass, since those are obvious. Except of course you and your NPCs can carry a ridiculous amount of stuff. And armor is the...

Maybe we should read the skills as: Small guns: Some recoil Big guns: Lots of recoil (please ignore flamer) Energy Weapons: No recoil

I don't think I agree with this in a cRPG. The _computer_ has to handle all the details. You should basically be using the <strikethrough>game pad</strikethough> mouse n' keyboard to give your PC "commands". But maybe I am conflating "realism" and "detail". I think, generally, players...

So, I am about 5 years behind the times in PC games, although I have been playing PC games since long before Windows, even before PCs. I also used to play PnP RPGs - and I always hated all the dumb "DND" concepts that pervaded them... character classes, levels, even "hit points". WTF is a...

ZORK? I played 'Adventure' on VIC-20

wow, I might have to get a fancy phone just to play this.

That is hilariously lame (even if my native language is retard, nyuk, nyuk) to have fuel be a property of the game not the individual item. I was trying to think of a "reasonable" way to add a "car culture" town (i.e LA) without it violating sense and reason (like if LA all has cars... how...

A quick and dirty way to do this might be to just double the AP requirements for aimed shots. And cap the small guns skill at 100.

Your van is kewl. It needs more marijuana leafs and peace signs though... or maybe no Hippies in FO universe 1960s? I like the airstream too.

I bet the "technical issue" was that they already had 32 types of ammo, and would overflow a register on a PS3 or something if they went to 33.

Dude101 - I would certainly be interested in keeping your Dayglow.... as for how serious I am, that is going to depend on a lot of things. This is clearly a large project, and a ridiculous one for a new modder. But I am at least thinking about design documents and what is possible to mod...

I didn't try an emulator; I used Boot Camp with a Win XP install to play FO/FO2 on my mac book pro. You do need to use a "real" mouse or trakball. Don't play FO with 1 button! (And the software cntr-click = right click doesn't work in game)

This made me giggle. Like by the time you get the .223 you aren't leaving ammo on corpses because it's not worth carting around. Although I guess you have to reload less often.

MIB88 - yes, the Fallout Forever mod looks pretty much like what I was talking about, although I am just guessing from screen shots as my Russian is ... poor... Anyone know how to contact the Forever modders (in English), I bet I could use a lot of their maps and stuff (if not quest scripts)...

Well that was my first idea, was to just expand the restoration project "south" and let chosen run wild in NCR... but then I thought it you couldn't get it all in 1 worldmap (looks like you could... but it might get super tricky with the map numbering. As for all (most) NCR towns sharing a...

This info must be around somewhere... but I haven't found it yet. How big (how many tiles) can you make a map in the FO2 engine? Could you make it 2x big as FO2 (i.e., add FO to the bottom?) Could you make it stretch to VB's Colorado?
