I still don't think the skills thing is that big of a deal. In fact, I think it'll probably help the game in the long run. We'll have to see when it comes out though, no use making judgements right now before we've even played the damn thing. In the meantime, if you really want to spend time...

I love Fallout 3 largely because the setting is so close to home for me -- I live in southeastern Pennsylvania, which isn't all that far from Washington DC. I also love the rich backstory of the Fallout setting and unlike many here, I just can't seem to wrap my head around the concept of Fallout...

Oh, agreed. While I can't say I think the writing sucks, I do believe that basically forcing you to help Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel was not a good idea; they had just created an opportunity earlier on at Raven Rock to have at LEAST two different outcomes of the game, one in which you join the...

Cazaclaw should become canon. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/58606/?

I'd be 87.

Sadly, that's about 90% of the people on this board, especially after the Fallout 4 announcement. When I first got here, all of them were more or less civil at least but now in the wake of Fallout 4, they're taking their prerequisite hatred of Bethesda and modern Fallout to a whole new level...

Bethesda's formula is the only one that actually immerses me in the world. I vastly prefer open-world exploration in a title/setting like this to the limiting and forced isometric gameplay of the classics -- though I do love the classics. Just not Tactics though, can't really seem to get into...

I'd murder a kitten if I had to kill Moira. I rather liked her. ...Ok I wouldn't murder a kitten, kittens are too adorable, but I'd be angry just the same.

'Fraid we'll have to agree to disagree here then. I really don't see how all this change is going to destroy the franchise or whatever it is you're worried about. If anything, it'll probably save it -- CRPGs only appeal to a niche market and those really don't make a lot of money. Besides, the...

What IGN comments?

So basically like Fallout: New Vegas. Still don't see what's wrong with that.

No, I understand. Don't forget, I told you I largely agree with you. I just don't see the point since it'll accomplish nothing, at least from where I'm sitting. Different developers, Walpknut. Different priorities. Clearly Obsidian prioritized lore first over gameplay; they had the wherewithal...

Well, considering they're a video game company, I don't really expect something of a caliber similar to Conan Doyle or Mark Twain out of these guys. They need to write the story to suit the gameplay, not the other way around. In effect, they're really no better than Blizzard Entertainment in...

Well, now. Someone's VERY cynical. I'm not sure what to make of the Minutemen yet and I won't know until the game comes out. I'm not gonna make a prediction and then get proven wrong just so you guys can come back, point and laugh at me later. I'm pretty sure that, minus all the snark, the...

I'm of two minds about this whole thing. I can understand and somewhat agree with Bethesda's reasoning, but I also understand and somewhat agree with you guys' reasoning. In the end though, it's really not a big fucking deal. As long as it does what it's supposed to, I'm in. I'm more worried...

At least those who didn't suffer from the "cry wolf" effect brought about by the numerous drills they had over the years. Don't forget about that bit! -- Not everyone who had a place in a vault actually made an attempt to go to the vault because they thought the sirens were just another drill...

On the subject of Mr. Handy, it's likely he's operating on some mix of fusion power as well as perhaps propane-based fuel -- a hybrid. If his tank's running low, he's probably programmed to refill it himself. He also probably has regular downtime, shutting himself down to conserve his innards...

I hate to break it to you, but Marvel does the same thing, last I checked... at least outside of the cinematic universe. Fuck, a renowned sci-fi series called Doctor Who does the same thing on a regular basis, in ALL the mediums it's published. In response to an earlier comment from you, I...

No, you CANNOT expand on something with strict, unchanging rules. Believe me, I know -- I'm a writer myself! I have to constantly change my own rules just to be able to get anything done.

This may come as a surprise to you, but I don't play games for their "genre." I don't play Fallout because it's an RPG, I play it because I like the setting and I enjoy the level of freedom it affords me, as well as the compelling backstory behind it. I also really like to shoot things or, when...
