The problem is that we're talking about different demographics. I can mention Deus Ex with "new-school", so to speak, gamer kids around and they ask "What's Deus Ex?" Same for classics of other genres like Starcraft. They probably won't remember Fallout 3 though, because while it's got merits in...

No-one said they had to speak like that. But PS:T dialogue was indepth and well-thought-out, and that's what matters. And what we want.

Stop being a wimp and tell her to stop being a harpy. Furthurmore, how young do you think most of us are? Valiant Flea has it right, again. Fallout was bought for the name, and the name carries a weight beyond the norm. The kiddies might have never played FO1/2, or Tactics, and maybe POS, but...

No no, if he was being sarcastic "excellent" would've been in quotes. He's simply using a naming convention. Yes, FOPOS was an "excellent" game apparently.

Megaman was a skill game. Timing and whatnot. Yes, memorising attack patterns was a big part of it, but is that not also a skill? Similar arguments can be aimed at the Touhou games, but that doesn't stop people saying they're fucking hard. Toad has it right with the "possibly lose" part...

You expected reviewers to dislike POS? It's right up their alley of mindless violence, just like FO3. Gotta cater to the lowest common denominator, remember?

I could only bear to watch that for so long. What point does a video of endless goreshots serve? But yes, that's the target audience. While watching, I realised FO3 should've been called Postal 3.

Rogue is a very good analogy for PwRT, as are any rouguelikes (nethack, etc). Basically the world is static until you act. You move, attack, cast a spell, whatever, the rest of the world goes at the same time, then it all pauses again until you act again. If you act fast enough the game seems...

Don't try to make sense of it. Beth didn't. They don't think how things relate to each other, just 'well, there needs to be a town here to get quests at'.

Yeah, I noticed PA is pretty crap. Of course, I kinda liked the change of pace of not going straight for it. But I'm also playing a stealth character (or trying to), and PA negatively affects that.

I believe not. Part of shoehorning you into the main quest.

You should be able to pick it up, but it won't help you, as you need Power Armour Training and that necessitates going through the main quest.

No offense, but that's one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.

Oh yes, I played the game. Little Lamplight is stupid. Not not-nice, just stupid. I entirely refused to deal with it, because it's entirely beyond comprehension how such a society could exist. The fact is that LL is simply a forced fetch quest. And it's telling that the only group of people beth...

PwRT sounds good, however... Have you run into issues with the world depopulating before you get to certain areas because of the dynamic nature? Quest NPCs being killed off by raiders, that sort of thing? Also, the giant rats in the earlygame, once you kill them, is that it, you'll never run...

No it's not. Generators don't last forever and certainly not without regular maintenance. Chernobyl - Not thousands. The ones who died directly from chernobyl are the ones who went SWIMMING in the reactor to try and solve the problem. And we're not saying humanity is supposed to be back on...

Having worked for a marketer in the past, let me just say: That's the low end of the spectrum for them. They only get worse from there.

Merc charmer outfit. Not for any of the magic benefits, just because.

I liked the "Make a fallout homage using Silent Storm" suggestion. No fear of a lawsuit if you don't use anything that is under IP (You can't IP post-apocalyptic wasteland), and then you could really argue 'by gamers, for gamers' again, not 'by corporate tools, for profit'

That's the real kicker: Everyone is so goddamn NICE. It feels like Bethesda thought that by sprinkling the term 'asshole' around, it'd have that authentic wasteland feel, but there's no sense of everyone being purely out for themselves and their own, screw outsiders.
