Eh, call me crazy but I like the "Shi Empire" idea. Throw some unexpected color in the drab wasteland. Maybe have them collapse for some reason or another, but still- I like the idea because it's less predictable and maybe even justifiable.

Yeah, I would agree. politics, crime, perhaps a plague or two... it'd be a lot more fun than "Nuke falls, Everyone Dies". We should also explore the history of the NCR- maybe the dirty politics or crime rings in the big cities. That'd be a fun setting for a videogame. Personally I'd love to...

Yeah, it's really engrossing that I one a civil war (fought by twenty people on either side) and am never recognized for it. It's fairly engrossing I am a level 20-something warrior with high-level steel plate armor and I am never recognized other than the throwaway guard dialogue. It's pretty...

Fallout 3: an RPG where no matter what character you WANTED to play, you'll always be a bullied vault-kid with daddy problems. Great writing, I like how it makes me feel like I'm playing a role-playing game.

Right. Well, if you *actually* read my post, you'd have noticed that I said I was trying to have fun. After about 30 hours, the flaws became obvious, then unbearable at about 60. to be more specific, I was trying to finish the main quest, being a fan of the TES games. I got... a bit more than...

Ooh, here's one: The Spanish win the Battle of the Armada- and England never has a chance to be a colonial power. The Americas are split between the French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The insanely bloated English nationalistic ego never develops and everyone breathes a sigh of relief...

You know what NMA? I've come to a conclusion. It goes as follows: I tried to like Skyrim. I really, really did. For 94 hours, I tried to have fun. But it didn't work. Everywhere I turned, there was some stupid shit to ruin it. The leveled loot constantly reminded me there was no actual variety...

Skywind's silly. All the faults of Morrowind and Skyrim combined... plus the "creative" decisions. They removed Dagoth Ur's mask. No joke.

Friend, don't be silly. We are doing plenty. Keep in mind America has recently been out of three wars. From the NY Times: "Although President Obama has made it clear that the United States does not want to escalate the Crimean crisis, the Pentagon stepped up training operations in Poland and...

Guys, no. You're all wrong. It really is bad. I saw a streaming of it. The stealth mechanics are laughably bad. At one point, the streamer was being chased, ran into a closet in full view of his pursuers, and they couldn't find him. The AI is so bad you can open doors on them without them...

Except Fallout follows totally different laws of reality. Melee combat is a viable option. If you wanted to be realistic, well, don't bother playing Fallout.

Okay, I saw Monuments Men on Saturday. Goddamn, best film I've seen in the last two years. Nearly cried like, three times. Oh, and Bill Murray. He had like, ten lines and they were all GOLD

Ah, Tool. We meet again. Well, not even my taste in music, but 8/10 If you listen to KEXP you've heard this before. probably.

Recurring dream I have: Money. Usually I come across a large storage of rare, antique coins, and figure out they whole of them are worth several million dollars. Oh God, I'm so happy! I'll be able to buy so much... wait, it was just a dream. The most recent time I had this dream; though, there...

Dice rolls? depends on the situation and game. Morrowind's combat would never work in a modern game. That's not to say it's a totally bad idea: a dodge mechanic modified by agility stat would be great in a modern game, to add variety to melee. But dice-rolls can be very, very bad, especially in...

-Get rid of the Pip-Boy 3000 -Improve hardcore mode -make hardcore mode values (slp/h2o/fod) a HUD element, and make them color-coded instead of values out of a thousand -because the idea that my PC has to look at a device to figure out how thirsty he is, and that this device knows how thirsty...

Yeah, or Luck 10. But if you have to max or min the skill to appreciate it, it's not *that* useful. Or maybe that's the nature of luck.

Ah, the wisdom of Shinji. Good man.

More like greater heights of order, efficiency, and power seriously, after a nuclear apocalypse, the Legion has managed to control a quarter of the former contiguous USA after a couple years of continuous, unstopped conquest That deserves credit

The NCR is big. The NCR is also strong. I think it's well within their capabilities to fix up a bit of the Boneyard, though the sheer size of LA probably prevents it from ever being totally repaired
