It's glorious! This is just what I was hoping for in WL2.

Re: Paralysis by limited Analysis I could not agree more. In fact, my knowledge of the specifics of this case is limited to that posted by No Mutants Allowed over the past few years. My posts are simply very basic overviews for those uninitiated with the American court system or basic...

Thanks, Brother None. I would be glad to offer input on anything you guys get... It's not often a (limited) legal background comes in handy on a post-apocalypse forum.

Filing a motion is essentially fill-in-the-blanks. Beth attached a memorandum to their filing that is very likely required to understand their reasoning for their motion. Interplays makes more sense as they simply included their rationale in the motion. Regardless, the letter looks like...

More likely than not, even if the current contract is ruled void ab initio (void from the beginning), the court will simply look to the parties course of conduct since execution of the agreement to determine what the "actual" agreement was. Before the dispute arose, Beth and Interplay acted...

It's a motion in limine, before trial begins to set the ground rules. They must have some factual basis for asking for some of these things that was likely omitted here. In any case, it's a form of alternative pleading, or in other words, ask for everything you want, but not expecting to...

Presumably yes, because Beth's lawyers are trying crush Interplay with procedure, but using the wrong procedures. Probably doesn't matter what legal system you use if you're not trying to win on the merits of your claim.

Ah, good point. I missed that in my haste to sneak through it with a minimum of stealth boys. It could also be rationalized under the fact that they will buy whatever you're selling (Small burned books, dirty water, teddy bears, etc.) anyhow. Maybe, it's refurbished gear.

No, the opposite. If you killed the Van Graffs the Gun Runners get into the energy weapons business and sell it. It actually makes sense, kinda, because the Van Graffs kill anyone trying to get into the business. On the other hand, I don't know how the G.R.'s workshop making steel...

(Edit: Titus description was wrong). The only things Interplay of old has in common with Interplay now are some IPs that weren't sold and a logo. This isn't really good guy vs. bad guy. As a quick review: Interplay produced the mediocre Fallout Tactics, the abomination that is Fallout...

Slanty buildings FTW. Actually, the environment made me want to play a Fallout only 50 years or so after the great war. Leftover CRAM would be more believeable. I got the impression that a lot of reviewers told Ulysess "I don't care about your politics, just tell me what I have to do next."...

The jaw-dropper here is that Beth even tried to get a TRO. Temporary protective orders (including restraining orders) are generally for time sensitive emergency situations. They are called "ex parte" proceedings because the opposing party is not in front of the judge to defend (usually for...

I rather like a character that is skeptical of all the factions. People are always so eager to give their allegiance to a cause and zealously defend it. Even to the extreme point of becoming emotionally invested in a corporate brand.

He knew the Platinum Chip was dangerous simply by the nature of who was offering the job. Mr. House is dangerous (for reasons including: he's the old-world CEO of RobCo and STILL FREAKING ALIVE, RobCo and their unsavory Pre-War activities, commander of a Securitron army, his Three Families...

The Megaton bomb appeared to be a Fat Man type air-dropped bomb (like the one detonated over Nagasaki, not the in-game weapon). Whereas these are ICBMs and could be much more powerful. The WWII bomb was only 21 kilotons, but many-mega-tonnage bombs exist now. I think the Soviets hit 100...

Yeah, if you don't protect it and enough people use it, it will become public domain. This is why Disney sends nasty letters to school teachers, not because they are mean, but because they want to maintain exclusive control over their cartoon characters. It's actually protective of people...

[Barter 1/100] FAILED. Well, here's $94 for New Vegas, 4 DLCs, and some gunz. Not to blindly defend Obsidian, but you really give them too much credit when it comes to the pricing here. Their control over the dlc seems to be limited to 1) Make DLC or 2)Make Nothing. Otherwise, what they...

The Enclave is quite mischaracterized. They are fascists looking to wipe out the wasteland so the "pure" humans may resettle it. They don't consider the wasteland inhabitants to be their constituents at all. Even fallout3 sort-of kind-of indicated this with the end game option to add the...

In the scripting there are blocks for Begin OnGrab (Runs script when the scripted object is grabbed by the player) and OnRelease (Run once when the scripted object is released from the player's grab). So it is possible to script realistic reactions. At least to fix the Van Graff's store...

I've been playing it and.. well, their criticisms are off. The collar is not frustrating, simply stop when it beeps, move left or right to feel out the boundaries. Look at the freaking graffiti on the wall which often has ARROWS pointing to the location of the speaker. Also, explore, quite...
