F A L S E This is one of many common rumors regarding ancient religious texts- particularly the Bible. No, it is has not been changed, at least not intentionally. At most, the translations from Hebrew to Greek have impacted the meaning of some phrases, particular sentences, et cetera, but by...

"Science is always there" Science is a way to explain phenomena. It is NOT an answer to social or moral problems, and never will be. Religion IS an answer to social and moral problems, and has functioned as such for thousands of years. Really, some basic tenants of Christianity: charity to the...

Religion has never been apart of my life, except for Scientology. I was a Scientologist until I was 14, but I don't consider that religion. It's business. I'm also not religious, but I do RESPECT religion. And I will defend religion. It's not a crutch, nor is faith- it's an incredibly valid and...

Uh, yeah, but you could always re-hydrate with water. Same at parties really, it's always smart to stay hydrated. It's a part of being responsible with your liq. That being said, I live in Miami- the drug culture is literally all-encompassing here. It's mostly, at least in my group of friends...

There was never a first "Dark Age". People have already explained this, but I'd just like to point out that the idea of a Christian "Dark Age" was mostly started by people with political motivations, ie French anti-Catholic revolutionaries. http://www.strangenotions.com/gods-philosophers/ Good...

This is clearly pointless. Whatever.

"Caesar's Legion are raiders who believe they're Romans and somehow survive in football gear against bullets". "The Brotherhood of Steel are isolationists who believe they're knights. And they don't have any seen food source." (And yes, Fallout 1's BoS.) Also, as I have said, and will say for...

they don't actually call themselves vampires though. Vance admits they're following fictional traditions for the purpose of given a downtrodden group of mutants a sense of purpose. That's literally the whole point. He even admits he is brainwashing them, but for the purpose of having them...

Sweet shit you don't like to read huh? they're not vampires. How many times I got to say this The Family has no reason to be outside of Meresti, half of the time talking with Vance is just spent discussing that Meresti is their only safe place because they're incredibly few in number. And...

Uh, well probably because they don't want to catch the various STDs and creepy bugs the typical syringe-swapping rapist Raider has. Except they're not vampires and both the game and the characters confront that. As for the blood perk? Consider it game balance. The Family nor Arefu rewards you...

People bitch about it a lot. But you know? I think it's one of the more self-aware and shit, well-written things in Fallout 3. It's a cult of personality. The Lone Wanderer can even directly confront Vance and tell him it's brainwashing... and Vance admits that's true. Plus, just look at...

Hey now, we're all guilty of this to some extent- myself especially, though I try not to. I have noticed you claim that modern videogame mechanics are designed for idiots and casuals- is that not a convenient categorization to dismiss opinion? This isn't mudslinging FYI. I am legitimately...

The problem is social anxiety- a common-enough problem- sets in insecurity. With insecurity, the righteous himself will question if he is wicked. The Bible, I find, is essentially true, but then again all anecdotes are. When it is not essentially true, it is culturally true- meaning you have...

What made Fallout 'Fallout'? Nothing. Fallout 2 was basically a chain of pop-culture references and snazzy jokes. Prostitutes! Boners in power armor! Evil government dudes who wanna destroy ALL LIFE! Fallout isn't anything, it's what is in the minds of the developers and writers who have it at...

Yeah, well, I feel like a lot of people here have an intellectual persecution complex- basically they're nerds who value their "intellect" so much anything popular that doesn't fit their standards is seen as an attack on their fabricated mental construct of "intellectual" things. Like, for...

I'm not really DISAGREEING with you, I just think the prevalent mindset of passive-aggresive distrust in Bethesda and new videogames as a whole is a bad influence and negative as a whole. I'm just saying- or trying to say, my bad, I of all people am bad at communicating in clear terms- that the...

shut up, please. Your intellectual persecution is fucking overwhelming. Oh poor you! The only smart man in the sea of the wretched ignorant masses, with their darn millennial technology and this "fast" pacing to videogames! God, you, RangerBoo, you are the last bastion of sanity in a world of...

Fair enough. The only thing I could suggest is stop being pointlessly volatile over things like videogames and don't abuse animals even within a videogame because that's unethical- but at that point I'm just telling you to act more like me and less like yourself- assuming getting angry over new...

Are you just pretending to childishly deny everything I just said, or are you seriously doing it? Not what I said. Admit it, at this point, we have to deal with Bethesda's version of Fallout being tonally different and different in terms of story and content. Bethesda are not Black Isle; they...

You guys always assume shit. At the risk of de-railing this thread more, let me explain. I don't like Fallout 3. I am typical for NMA in that I regard it as a weak chapter made by incompetent developers from Bethesda. You, of course, decided to conveniently shove me into the category of...
