"The Caesar" makes sense, really. Caesar is both his title and his adopted name. Plus, derivatives of "Caesar" exist in practically every language the west side of the Himalayas. Tsar, Kaiser, Kjeser... You know'd be great? A Fallout game set hundreds of years from NV where tribals people have...

BigBoss, that's just not possible. Look at how much America changed from the 20's to the 50's. In thirty years time, you went from America near-collapse where the Federal Government was hated and practically never seen. The roaring twenties were very liberal, centered around swing made by black...

Well, there's also the part where style points come in. RPGs are not just statistics (well, they are and aren't)- I gladly abandoned all my weapons for late-game unarmed in Fallout 2. Honestly, a power fist does not beat a "Piercing Kick" to the eyes for the same damage, despite the (massively)...

Akratus, 40k is the furthest thing from original. It's doesn't hide that every element is taken from either Dune or 2000AD. There isn't an original bone in it's body. For a wargame, this doesn't matter. HMmmmm. Yeah, definitely. I was thinking perhaps the prophecy was like... a self-fulfilling...

The desert eagle. It's just smooth and sleek and deadly... I was kind of dissappointed during Fallout 2 when the magnum turned out to be totally superior weapon. (and then the grease gun turned out to be better than that) It fit really well into Fallout 1, I think. It's just a damn good gun...

I'm not much of a prank person. I do like to act like a dick though. I like to spiel to my group of friends. Recent topics are "Why whites are an inferior race", "math is for nerds", and "I'm probably a reincarnation of Alexander the Great". The enjoy it, idunno. I kind of begin to convince...

So, in the Fallout universe, the world never culturally developed past the 50's or 60's. That's why Fallout has it's retro-futuristic aesthetic. However: is it reasonable to assume that the pre-war culture was not a direct continuation of the 50's? If you begin to consider to the timescale of...

Weapon design. The guns look sex. Are most of them useful? No, but they look good.

Nah. OpenMW is the better project. Skywind is all the problems of Skyrim. Also, the art team is... very liberal with the art direction. Not to say they aren't talented, but I don't think they should shift stuff around in such a way. Morrowind is ugly as sin, especially for the time it was...

"waste of effort/time/life" was a bit too rude. I wanted to give them something.

Uh, quick question y'all, if the CPU starts smoking and now can't be removed from the motherboard... this is a bad thing, obviously, but how bad is it?

600,000 words dedicated to a fanfiction about children's show animals, all written by grown-ass men. This is a waste of talent, here.

8/10, good listening, sounds soundtrackish. Not exactly my taste though.

Oh my God is it ever. Someone here on NMA posted a series of images comparing it to Morrowind, but who the hell thought that dedicating 3/4 of the inventory menu to an ugly model of the item was a good idea? Who thought that just listing all the items in alphabetical order was a good idea? It's...

Eh, the GECK per Fallout 3 is a magic device that collapses matter to form a habitable environment (wasn't that the macguffin of a Star Trek movie?). The GECK per the Bible is just a very good instruction manual with some seeds. lemme repeat: if the GECK could be used to create a water-purifying...

Key words here are "I don't think". He doesn't think it could have been hit as hard as DC or Necropolis, which isn't a hard fact but an assumption. He also doesn't make it clear whether DC or Bakersfield where hit the hardest- which I personally doubt, since both cities have a lot of their...

Well, we'd have to assume Ashur or the slaves controlling it would be okay with giving precious steel to the Brotherhood. Hey, here's an idea! In the Pitt, if the PC helped Ashur, then he can negotiate the trading of steel with the BOS (or maybe other factions!). Or, if acting on the BOS's...

Okay, bit of a gravedig but whatever: In Fallout 3, the community of... whichever one that was part of "Those"... dissappears. How does the Wasteland respond to a whole community disappearing? -three dog mentions it over GNR until the player starts the quest. -mentions from the chick in Rivet...

You know what's worrying? China refuses to make an official statement against Russia's actions. This is especially ironic when China has made statements against the West's (and America's) interventionism. China has also been increasing military spending. According to the Economist, the goal is...

The descendants of pre-war Chinese submariners and spies being a faction is reasonable. If you remove the... blatantly racist and ridiculous parts, they could still be the Shi while not being essentially an in-game joke. All the other factions are descended from Americans, but the Shi could...
