    Eurogamer interviews Pete Hines

    I agree. Mass Effect's system (good or evil, always in the same location) lead me to not even read half the choices. I just held the stick in the right location and kept clicking 'x'. Many modern dialog trees aren't really trees at all. There's just the evil path, and the good path. Done...

    Eurogamer interviews Pete Hines

    I did clarify that the writing wasn't award-winning. I wouldn't say it's bad for a Fallout game either. Both Fallout's included some amazing dialog discussions (I love the conversation with the Master), but the majority of their dialog was middle of the road, and some of it was downright awful...

    Eurogamer interviews Pete Hines

    Did I miss something where they said every second word was going to be a swear? All the dialog that I've seen has been written well (albeit, taken out of context from the rest of the conversation because they're from screenshots). My impression from interviews is that there is swearing where...

    Fallout 3 QA guy on subject of "200 years later"

    Enlighten us, great keeper of the facts. Which details are we missing? It's a simple early-game fetch quest. "Please go here and get this". You can shoot your way through, you can stealth your way through, and there is likely an option to talk your way through. It's very possible for...

    Fallout 3 QA guy on subject of "200 years later"

    To be honest, he's making more sense than half the posts I've read on here. There are plenty of ways that the Enclave could have setup on the east coast. The (albeit brief) explanation of why the BoS is on the East coast makes sense. They collect technology, sent guys to go get the...

    Fallout 3 QA guy on subject of "200 years later"

    If we go with the idea that the Enclave could have existed on both the East and West coast at some point, then there's no way you can logically be upset that they're on the west coast in FO3. A large big-brotherish shadow-government is humming along fine, and one day the world blows up. 1)...

    Fallout 3 looks majorly disappointing from demo clips

    But that man was an idiot. Everyone knows that natives have +3 against stationary!

    Fallout 3 Censorship Report

    I can see taking issue in calling it Jet, if you want to be really anal, but the idea of a Jet-like drug on the east coast isn't too far out. Hell, it's already there. It's called Jenkem.

    Fallout 3: Are you getting it?

    My impression in the latest gameplay video is that there are comments displayed in the upper left. Not sure if it's just a description or a funny comment though.

    Fallout 3 looks majorly disappointing from demo clips

    I think the forums are broken. Your name shows up as "shapeshifter" when it should be displaying 'strawman'. If you want to discuss Fallout 3 from a realtime RPG perspective, between increased damage scaling, and decreased accuracy, the DPS will be about the same between the two. Looking at...

    Fallout 3 looks majorly disappointing from demo clips

    Originally, your stats drastically affected your shot accuracy, but playtesting showed that the players hated the feel and lack of feedback. They haven't elliminated the accuracy correlation, they've just toned it back and adjusted damage stats to compensate. Same net damage over time, but a...
