I actually managed to shut the boy up in a thread about turn based combat on the Obsidian forum where he basically said all the RAEL TIME WIFF PAUZE MAKE TEH $$$$$!!!!!11111!!!1111111 by posting a big list of the ones that didn't versus the ones that did. Go me.

Keep in mind, there were a shitload of bad ideas tossed in to Fallout 2 without any rhyme or reason as to why they should be there. That spaceshuttle would be a big one. There's nothing "bionic" about slapping polymer armor under your skin. Those stat boosting memory cards weren't...

I'm not really sure why you'd think Puuk would be a good designer for Fallout 3 at all. The only two games he's ever had actual design credits on were Lionheart and IWD2. Up until then, he was a betatester for Interplay. And whomever they scrape together would most likely be those who don't have...

Because BioWare: Has never made a non-linear game. Even KotOR, with it's four planets you can pick, actually has a correct order of travel. Enforces a strict story on the player, often ignoring dialogue choices by the player. Even in KotOR! Try to piss off Carth enough for him to leave...

Ugh. No. Hell no. Ummm.. No.

Off the top of my head? A really shitty developer getting it and making a game with it.

Do you mean the ones that are the size of washing machines? You do know that through much of the 1950s, bombs were the only way to deliver the nukes, right? "missiles" didn't come around until a little bit after that, and they certainly weren't ICBMs. In Fallout 1, he says bombs, and...

Because the Space Race in Fallout didn't start up until the mid21st century. They were in their infancy with the program. Back in the 1960s in Fallout's setting, they had a Fusion Race. That's why there's consumer level fusion in the game as well as micronized fusion. Notice the wide spread use...

The're also done quickly and made from cylinders and spheres.

No, Final Fantasy has always sucked. You're just getting old and wise enough to have figured this out. But really, think about it. Fallout was post apocalyptic. A post apocalyptic setting doesn't really lend itself well to a series of CRPGs in this day and age where the ph4t l3wt needs to...

MCA is the guy who wrote the awful story stuff for Fallout 3 and he's one of the founders of Obsidian, so I'd much rather see them work on a NEW PROPERTY for a change rather than screwing up an existing one. MCA is a decent writer from what his PR people tell me, so it'd be nice to see him...

Anyone meet up with the Shadowclaw early on in the game? It's fun.

If you look really close at the arms and legs on the people, you can tell it's a fake. That's what tipped me off when it first went around way back when.

Yup. Two combat systems in one game never works well. Stripping all the combat skills down to just two skills, or was it three? Interplay execs forcing coop multiplayer in to the game when that gimps the quest design. Super cool space bases with nuclear missiles, even though that's a bit beyond...

Actually, it was an April Fool's Joke some Russian kid did with photoshop about three to four years ago that was posted on the internet. It's amazing people are still dumb enough to fall for it, though. Kreegle fell for it last year, and we all had a big laugh about that.

Those are the best kinds.

Well, the best part is most of the reviews so far have said that dodging and rolling thing actually sucks since it screws with your ability to actually fight anything. They also say that crouching is pointless other than to crawl under stuff. He's refering to the three characters and how you...

I'm still happy it's dead.

Late 20s from all the reports I've seen.

Lots of info on this game at RPG Codex, including an interview, a dev chat log, and an introduction to the character system. Jan Beuck, one of the main guys on the game, kicks around there as well.
