Did you know that there is a convention to place a letter meant to symbolise a multiplier instead of a decimal point? This means this is FNV Series 2140 (a prequel?). Granted, the convention is not used for dates, but it was there. Taunting me.

Exploring in Fallout 3 was just badly done. It's not a bad idea for a side activity, just wander around the wasteland, see the sights, kill the people, take their stuff - could be fun. Bit repetitive after a while, but that's why it's a side activity. In FO3 it just isn't satisfying, because...

One way to make it cool would be to have companions that do not participate in combat. For instance, you'd have a tech guy with high science and repair skills, but no combat skills. In a fight he's stay at the back and occasionally fire a pistol (and usually miss). However he'd repair your...

That and the Workshop was lazier in many respects. There were reports of people getting away with uploading someone else's content without permission. There's the stupid subscription system (what is wrong with just downloading the file). The whole Nexus vs Workshop thing was perfectly...

Well, if you look at how Skyrim was marketed, it seems they did use modding as a major selling point (one of the biggest, next to 'FRIKKIN DRAGONS MAN!!!'). The whole Steam Workshop thing (a failure as a modding website, but a testament to how important milking modding was to the markeing...

Oh boy. Using mods in FO3 can actually make the game decent. My last character in FO3 was a child-killing, mass-murdering nazi slaver cyborg (actually possible with mods). It was strangely satisfying to first go through the entire Survival Guide quest, slowly, with the best posible ending and...

Hate to be the pessimist here, but: 1. FO4 is being developed by people, who made Fawkes. A super mutant with infinite ammo Gatling Laser and several thousand HP. It should be clear at this point that balance is out of the question. 2. Bethesda made 8 permanent followers in FO3. One was a dog...

Which is odd, because that audience is probably more used to Oblivion and in comparison every cool sandboxy feature of FO3 is small, pale, linear and limited. You'd think a game that so many fans claim to be all about freedom and exploration would be actually scolded for making it so smaller and...

Jesus, that sex scene was horrible. Honestly though, I think that for voice acting in a game to be good, it really only needs to deliver, where it's important. Like VTM:B - the Russian and Japanese scenes were awful, but voices of important characters like Nines and the Voerman sisters were...

Ah, the joys of facegen. Certainly doesn't help that the racemenu has a preview screen that makes the face look different than it really is. Usually when I spot something wrong with my character's face, I spend like 20 minutes opening the racemenu and moving one slider by 1-2 mm, then checking...

FO1 and FO2 were both pretty consistent when it came to tone. FO1 was more serious and FO2 lulzy as hell. FO3 is all around the place and it's fans are using it. You can easily find one argument in which FO3 fan claims "FO3 is supposed to be wacky, like FO2" and another in which FO3 fan states...

With a name like this, I imagine the Tunnel Snakes would do well in porn. Just saying.

I dunno, but the fragment that was quoted (the first 3 disclaimers at the beginning of Fallout Bible 0) seemed to say "Fallout Bible is not finished, the blanks are to be filled by future Fallouts and fanfic", not "everything in the Fallout universe can be denied and changed, regardless of what...

I was once told (in red, bold, underlined font, no less) that Fallout Bible more or less says "we don't want to write ourselves into a corner, Fallout lore isn't set in stone" therefore whatever Bethesda makes up is perfectly acceptable in terms of Fallout world, no matter how ridiculous it is.

Gore bags. And while they are mostly human, they could be made from any other species. They are remarkably resilient and barely require food. They have been biding their time, but I tell you - soon the majestic gore bag will take it's rightful place as the ruler of this world.

And it'll be called Fallout: New Vegas.

The thing is the feeling of post-apocalyptic wasteland in FO3 seems purely artificial to me. They just added some elements associated with post-apocalypse. Instead of doing some work and actually coming up with a wasteland that would fit in the world and make sense in the context of Fallout...

What Bethesda really did well was make a world that is filled with post-apocalyptic cliches. We've got a dead world, ruins everywhere, junk houses, radiation, radiation, radiation, raider infestation - all that stuff. And the impressive part is: people liked it, said it's got 'a post-apocalyptic...

Worst. Fairies. Ever.

MIRV wasn't overpowered. It's ridiculously high power was balanced by the fact that it had no practical application whatsoever. It would seem Bethesda was particularly fond of making versions of weapons that shoot more than one projectile at once and calling it 'new'. You know, like: Metal...
