Per the beginning of the game Vegas lies directly on the path north to New Canaan as well as east into the lands held by the Legion. Now whether or not one sides with the Legion -there is trade back and forth from the east(the traders which trade with and through the Legion) which filters...

As I'd said beyond his genius there is madness- and from visiting H&H it's easily understood that House was unhinged before the war. Having said that, he never needed any of that infrastructure to live, himself; none that he hadn't kept running until NCR's came about. Vegas sets over that trade...

The glitter, the casinos, what more the name of Las Vegas, itself, are all simply hooks to get players interested. But to the broader context of the region it's not what Vegas produces but what it's set on and near to which appeals to the NCR. It's situated near to Hoover dam. The dam, the fresh...

I found Lonesome Road quite engaging. Someone said it before- that the Divide recalled The Glow from Fallout One, and that's true. They worked a miracle with the level design, and, yes, it felt nearer to the original Fallouts than much of what Bethesda had done with three. And you saw much of...

You might have to modify it some, but this weapon exists. Sort of. What you see below is a .410 gauge shotgun by Baikal. Probably wouldn't be impossible to rig it for rifle or pistol ammo, though with the kinds of pressures involved I'm not sure why you'd want to risk something...

Actually, the power armour doesn't look as bad as I'd feared. It is sort of reminiscent of the old Iron-Man mark 1 armour- or possibly a suit of Space Hulk armour. Now, If only I could convince myself that MMORPGs aren't the cesspool of the gaming universe...

Phantasy Star Online, on the Dreamcast, was a mess. Most of the people I knew quit when it shifted from free to play to pay to play. The company running the billing service in Japan refused service unless you paid with an actual credit card instead of a checking card- which automatically...

Although I neglected to mention them, I've not forgotten ZOS. That said, the bulk of Bethesda's games, to date, have been single player affairs, and that's what I was driving at. As to interplay- I'll agree, BS had good reasons to expect ending up with the whole schmear. After all, with a CEO...

I have no love lost for Bethesda, or Herve, for that matter. That said, I couldn't care less if a Fallout MMO never sees the light of day. Say what you will. Few around here may respect what Bethesda has done with Fallout 3(myself included), but I can't fault Bethesda for sticking to their...

I'll agree that it's a testament to how bad CRPGs are faring that I give Drakensang such praise. On the other hand, when would you not give a game like Drakensang praise? I feel that we're viewing Fallouts 1 and 2(and CRPGs in general) with rose coloured glasses. Fallout 1 & 2 never let you...

Actually, Drakensang was pretty damned good, IMHO.

Has anyone here bought this new trilogy box? Is it just a repackaging of the same software with zero changes, or has Interplay at least optimised them for more modern, higher resolution monitors? I know there is a resolution mod out there for 1 & 2, but an official retuning would still be nice-...

I think someone was watching a little too much- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKKshSa-qWA

Well let's see... Dragon Age... release pushed back- not sure why... guess EA doesn't want PC owners who also own consoles to grab the PC release instead of the console releases to keep console box sales high.(sounds a bit tin foil hattish, to be sure, but the game- for all intents and...

Going take a stab in the dark here and guess that the moral ambiguity comes through who you choose to help. The slavers may know how to run the operation, but lack the manpower to do so on their own. The slaves do most of the manual labour, but have no clue how to run the more complex machinery...

What would be nice(though not necessarily in line with canon) would be to make the energy weapons feel more like super weapons. Make them first strike weapons that take down enemies in one or two shots. With laser, plasma, and Gauss rifles we should see the player character wearing a large...

Read it. Jones should have remained silent. If he was so worried about keeping his job- what does he think coming out now, and saying that he's basically a journalist with no scruples, is going to do? The same people who "pressured" him to vote Fallout 3 GOTY probably won't bat an eyelash to...

I agree- I was having flashbacks of the main quest in Oblivion- where, after a point, you became "step n' fetchit man" and the focus shifted more to Martin and his Blades. The finale left me feeling like a spectator rather than a participant. So I got a free set of armour... small compensation...

But it's something that, like you said, the game never explains sufficiently. I thought about the dissociative personality -schizophrenia angle, but that would mean that Michael Masters, and Bessie Lynn would have had to witness that side of Roy at some point- not to mention the other Ghouls...
