The more I think about this Starfury the more uneasy I am getting. You are right that if the pipboy had an image of the surrounding area that it should be prewar. And, while I admit that civilian pipboys wouldn't have vault locations, the location of vaults probably would be on vault...

Dogmeat was the single best NPC in fallout imo. Dogmeat had a crazy number of attacks and he could rip apart most enemies. Though I gotta admit dogmeat in FO3 would be like what 100 years old? Old and decrepit dogmeat.... Unless it was Dogmeat 101, come back from the future to save...

Never used a spear. True. But I have used a Bo staff and a Jo staff. So I am aware of just how much difference a little bit of reach would make. When I say a short sword I am talking about something under 30 inches. If I want to talk about a Gladius which is a stand alone weapon, then I...

Sander: I agree with you that orders is no substitute for a good AI. I do not think that one should be required to use orders in order to defeat a battle. I think it should be an option for hard battles (especially ones which are important to the plot) to add another level of strategy...

You can call bullshit all you like but it doesn't change the fact that I am right. As a general rule weapons with greater reach will beat weapons with shorter reach. And spears certainly classify as having greater reach than a knife. In addition to being an effective melee weapon the spear...

I never liked the stealth boy to be honest. I always felt it was a little too magical. I mean I couldn't even BS a reason for it working. Plus I like the idea of a stealth suit because I like forcing the player to choose between stealth and protection. If FO3 is set 150+ years after the...

I don't think a high inteligence is a must for character creation, but I certainly think that it is a much more valuable stat than endurance, charisma, and luck. Endurance (strongest of the above) I can safely leave at a 4 and play through the game without a great deal of difficulty (sure I...

I think that is a good question; it never occurred to me to think of it as a static image loaded into the pip-boy. If it were a pre-war image or map loaded into the pip-boy, then the locations of pre-war settlements should be there (assuming the memory in the pip-boy hasn't failed in some...

Right so we take what (little) elements we found to be better about Tactics and apply them (in the proper fallout context) to Fallout 3. I would think we could borrow some of the tactical elements present in Tactics and apply them to Fallout 3 without sullying the name of Fallout 3. I...

I think loading up Cassidy on psycho while he is in your party so he dies of a heart attack and then throwing the heart pills on his corpse ranks highly. But my hats off to the smooth talking, cassinova evil who bags both Angela and her Mom back to back. I think my most daring and yet...

Interesting response. From your response I assume you agree then that a "phase based combat" system could present an improvement over the current "turn based combat" system? Additionally which ideas would you "tone down" and how? And as a response to your last comment I don't think that...

If I was going to make a plasma based weapon and I had access to some future-based technological short cuts I would probably use a conventional delivery system (i.e. rocket propulsion) to accelerate a canister of fuel which upon contact would spark up a reaction that would cause the fuel to...

As a matter of progression most anthropologists will claim that the spear was the first constructed weapon (the first weapon as we understand the word would have been a sharp rock or stick), as man would have figured out how to sharpen a stick into making it useful. The next weapon (once man...

As a party member I did not like Sulik. I found him to be too unrealiable in combat, even if the first or second time through the game his "grampy bone" provides useful advice for situations. He killed me WAY too often for me to like him. I mean I admit I have been killed by other party...

I don't necessarily feel that unarmed attacks should just do big damage. I am actually against high damage unarmed attacks (I discovered a bug Fallout 2 where targetting the left leg gave me an increased chance at critical and larger damage) because I want guns to do more damage than unarmed...

I will freely admit up front that I grew up on Wasteland and thus there may exist some sort of nostalgic value for me, but with that said I put forward that there exist some very real, and substantial benefits for adoptings a "phase based combat" system. Problems I see in the current...

If weather effects are going to be included, then they should be an actual factor in the game. And I don't mean your character ends up with a few less hit points after traveling for several days if there is a storm. If there is a storm, then I'd like to think it would show up on the world...

You might be right I do remember in one of the games I had to drag and drop. But I also distinctly remember being unable to type in the value for one of the games. And I know for a fact that BOS did allow for typing as I remember that being an improvement I wanted to see. I will have to...

I don't think it would be much of a stretch to include reaction modifiers on an individual basis. Assuming Bethesda does include an AI (and one that allows for the NPC to "remember" things like first impression, style of dress, etc), then I would have no problem going from a town based reaction...

I'm actually hoping for east and maybe a little south. I would like to see Area 51, the Johnson Space Center (houston, texas), and then we can have Mexican Marauders trying to invade...
