No, Roy and Michael aren't suburban Americans. In the context of Human/Ghoul relations within Fallout 3, there wouldn't be a fist fight- there'd be a lynching. Yes, it's a wasteland- with a frontier mentality loosely modeled on that of the stereotypical frontier American South/Southwest. And...

Yes, I agree, it would be silly for your character to accomplish 99% of the things he/she does in the course of the game(solo even!). However, we're expected to suspend disbelief and overlook the contrived nature of the writing in fallout 3 that allows for you to even talk to such broad strokes...

[spoiler:caeb105e62]The quest's first exposition starts off with Roy asking for himself, and the other ghouls under his protection, to be given the opportunity to live(they aren't demanding tribute or free stays- they are willing to pay their way) at Tenpenny tower- after which he is told to...

Going to disagree with the praise for the Tenpenny tower quest. There's "Moral Ambiguity" and then there is lying to/fooling the reader/player. The Tenpenny Tower quest pulls the rug out from under the player. [spoiler:20d0ba6210] Sure, at first you are presented with the choice of either...

Why? They have to get paid for doing something right? Then again, even getting that right is probably giving them more credit than they deserve.

The entire game(falloutt3) is one big Bethesda in-joke that breaks the fourth wall- assuming you've already played Oblivion.

Would it be JRPG? Or NRPG? It's not hard to believe Takai doesn't know the difference. Why should he care? They make games the way they like them over in Japan and haven't cared too deeply about changing them for western tastes. They think about their own market first when designing games so...

I believe you hit the nail on the head, Starseeker. The last few generations have developed increasingly shorter attention spans in parallel to the evolution(I say devolution) of entertainment and news media. News, theatre, and gaming have gone from hands-on activities that you'd actively...

Well I'm sure it's not for lack of trying, but possible reasons for less children would be weakened immune systems, sterility, birth defects caused by increased background radiation, poor diet, lack of medical care(vaccinations etc), lack of education, as well as a higher infant mortality rate...

Perhaps it was Walmart, perhaps they are parents, perhaps they are bent on pissing the lot of us off. Does it really matter why they did it? They kept child killing out of the game, full stop. For Pagliarulo(or Howard or Hines or anyone for that matter) to fall back on morality, or societal...

Perhaps the best solution is to not play the game. Or accept that it's a flawed gamed made up of flawed abstractions from the start. Chief amongst those is the karma system. Seriously... the only time performing a given action should affect you/your character(barring any effect their...

Alright, you lost me here. I've played all the major installments of the elder scrolls games and, to me, Oblivion was anything but high quality. If Oblivion was the mark Bethesda was shooting for, then they weren't aiming very high. Oblivion felt more restrictive, land mass wise, than any of...

Noticed that as well. Every other review has one of those, "But if you still expect x, then you're just being an obnoxious douche", type statements. Or... "Forget whatever the losers over at x, y , and z, have told you, don't buy what they're selling. Fallout 3 really does capture the spirit of...

Well, they weren't exactly the heroes of the wasteland, but the BOS did contribute to the stabilisation of the wastes as a byproduct of their own enlightened self-interest. They took out many of the remaining raiders, super mutants, centaurs, deathclaws, and other beasties that crossed their...

Upon completing Fallout 1, there was a feeling of hope- that Humanity had been presented with a clean slate to start over and do things "right". The Master had been defeated, most of the Super Mutants had been pushed back, trade was opening up between far-flung settlements, and crime was...

Oh, shut up, you facetious, flamebaiting, troll. You know exactly the point you were making in the post I originally quoted. The point of the original paragraph(whether you intended it or not- or refuse to admit it) you posted was essentially, that it is somehow the job of the game...

What? WHAT? How in hell does it make perfect sense for a reviewer to make that comparison? For Bethesda, it might make perfect sense. But since when has it been the job of "gaming journalists" to sell the wares of gaming developers to the gaming public? Of course these publications...

Oh grow a spine, and just say "stupid", you big baby. Go ahead... S T U P I D. There, now you try it. It's just a word- won't kill anybody. Instead of hiding behind innuendo like a smug, self-righteous, prat. If you think the things I have to say about fallout 3 or OXM, or anything else under...
