Yeah more of a "grey" area would be really cool. This idea of "making your own experience" is still in its infancy. One day it'll be truly unique. Which is why I do not understand all of this hubub about it being "unrealistic" and difficult to stomach...

LOL. What can I say, for us people, it is truly a wonderful world. :D

Matter of opinion.

Since you used "IMHO" I won't go all nerdy about Mass Effect... But IMHO Mass Effect is not the master piece of anything... Honestly, it all comes down to TASTE rather than ARTISTRY. However it seems as if Fallout 3 would be one end of the spectrum, using mechanical one-liners to convey...

Its an RPG set against an FPS background.

It's an RPG, just not the one everyone wanted. Just so we are clear, RPG stands for something, and that is Role Playing Game. Pretty sure you do that in Fallout 3. Stop nitpicking.

Yeah that is just uninspired, lazy writing. A means to further plot while sacrificing ... everything really... TES did that a lot too. They seem to stumble when it comes to plot developing dialogue often...

Ok, I will check out Planescape Torment only if it can run on a 4 year old machine. I play on a console since I don't have a decent rig. However, I still disagree with what you are trying to tell me. Exposition, which is one of the very first things any writer should look into, is a personal...

I'm referring not to sales but to the fact that games are closely censored today. Meaning a few complaints about the game are rather unfair, knowing that certain aspects weren't added due to the nature of the media.

The only thing that hurt more than that sentence was the fact that I paid for that garbage. Like with real money. Realized I was the fool in that particualr situation. I haven't gotten there yet but a lot of those types of situations relate more to trying to further plot and they sacrifice...

I don't get it either... I mean my friends and I discuss the symbolic nature of the twins in Finnegan's Wake over X-Box Live while playing Fallout 3 and I usually try and get some work done on my thesis involving Honorificabilitudinitatibus and its use in Love's Labor's Lost... Hmmm... :wink:

Lol very true. Especially bootleg anime with the poorly done subtitles with lines stumbling out like "How are you day to?" and "Watch out for a zombie! It has head that eats off yours!" Ahh...life is funny...

From what I've seen people have fused the "writing" with the way in which the players dialogue is conveyed. Which in my opinion are two different things. The main problem therefor is more to do with a game mechanic than the actual writing. I don't have any trouble with the writing in Fallout...

No I havent played that particular game Spoon. All I'm saying is, compared to real writing (IE works of fiction/literature), plot and narrative in videogames still has a long way to go. Its getting there slowly but from what I've played, and I've played my share, we are not even close...

You could, if you wanted go strictly power armor, add a few more points into your agility with the alloted perk to cancel out the -2 agility, but then you're wasting decent perk points... yeah its a bit of an issue. The extra DR is nice though... in my opinion. The Med X issue with the Medic...

Lol your day hasn't gone to well then has it? Thats pretty funny actually, heh. Nice try though, sometimes the peaceful route is not the best idea eh?

There is a bunch of info you can pick up in the Museum of Tech. that explains the function of the laser weapons and some other devices based on the research done by Tessler and his compatriots back in the day. Yeah I'd agree that Bethesda did map out weapons as they'd be used if the...

Ehhh you must have gotten what I said wrong. Fallout 3 is selling, yes. Meaning if it had an adult rating (18+ only) rather than the mature rating the ESRB puts out, knows as "M", it would've negated a lot of sales. I'm saying they couldn't add certain things because of the bad press it...

Wouldn't this go into the Tech forum? Just wondering... I agree with the cars exploding, though it isn't a big deal at all. The gas would have dissipated or, realistically, been syphoned out for use in a generator or whatever for the survivors... The guns though, I really don't see why...

I found the combat got harder as I went. The Enclave for example and their robots, forget their names that can do everything from laser gattling you to missles to the face... Yeah the mutants are not hard but the game does a stand up job of keeping pace with you. I never got bored once really...
