Bethesda made that claim for Oblivion, too. And all the in-game footage that supposedly supported that claim (among many others) turned out to be nothing like the actual game.

I remember a preview for Oblivion in which the author claimed to have never heard the same NPC conversation twice during a several-hour playthrough.

Am I the only one who find it a little silly that people completely miss the portable part of "portable nuclear launcher"?

So you, like, uh, completely missed that giant tripod holding up the launcher?

For Morrowind, this is referred to as the 72-hour bug.

Let's say you get hired by Pizza Hut as a delivery boy. The fellow you're replacing was fired because he never delivered any pizzas. So, would it be okay for you to never deliver any pizzas as well? After all, the guy before you didn't, either!

Emil's comment about feeling like he killed someone real really blew me away. Drugs and sex in video games are are bad, bad, bad, but a combat system that's supposedly realistic to that point that you genuinely feel as if you have killed real people is a-ok!

MDK, released eleven years ago, has mini-nukes.

And don't forget the Civilization series! Also notice how Civilization: Revolution, the simplified, console-only Civilization game is not called Civilization V.

Nope, that's not how it worked at all. For example, Baurus is invincible during Oblivion's tutorial but is very much mortal when you begin tracking down the cult's books. The same is true of Jauffre, Mankar Camoran, Maglir and a whole host of other well-known Oblivion NPCs.

Re: Look on the bright side I'm going to stop you right there, because I'm of that opinion as well. By "devotee" I meant someone who believes that Fallout 3 will be a wonderful RPG despite all evidence to the contrary.

Re: Look on the bright side If you ever spend some time in a forum dedicated to discussions about science, you'll notice a particular pattern when it comes to certain types of posters. Creationist A will barge in, declare evolution to be a giant fraud and promptly have all of his arguments...

Well, it's content that can be downloaded, so it can be considered downloadable content, but the idea is that its an expansion above and beyond anything else for Oblivion and is best bought in a store.

I'm biased against Fallout 3 in the same way that I'm biased against drinking urine; I've never drank urine, but I'm fairly certain that it would be an unenjoyable experience.

Considering the massive number of screenshots, the multiple gameplay videos as well as previews based on time spent with the game, and the extensive interviews from Todd Howard and Peter Hines, the "We don't know enough!" line is beyond stupid. It might have something to do with the fact that...

The bug-fix lists for Fallout 1 patches are nothing like the Unofficial Oblivion Patch. As for Fallout 2, I would argue that it is fairly playable with the official patch in place, but the amount of unimplemented material makes it a more "unfinished" game, but nowhere near the level of Oblivion.

So, you're saying we shouldn't expect a game company to to make, ya know, finished games? Maybe something that doesn't require thousands of third-party fixes before it's playable?

Well darn, here I thought that Fallout's dialog system was based around meaningful, branching dialog influenced by your character's attributes and skills. Thank goodness that Generic Bethsoft Fan #655321 came around here to educate us all about a game most of us have been playing for more than a...

Maybe it's just me, but most of the screenshots we've seen so far make Fallout 3 look like something released three or four years ago.

Do you like Arrested Development? I love Arrested Development. I own all three seasons and I've watched each episode at least five times. There are rumors going around about an Arrested Development movie in the works. Now let's say that hypothetical movie turns out to be an action flick with...
