Was there a German version of Fallout? If there wasn't, it's possible that there were no kids in the UK version because that's the one that was going to be sold in the rest of Europe.

Can you explain why, without resorting to "they are more common in the real world"?

The more possible combinations that can finish the game + having a different experience through it, the better. However, I'm highly doubtful that you'd be able to make it through the game with any character. Basically, I'm with slowtrain who posted the thread on the IPLY boards in that some...

Traits should have a downside to them, that's what separates them from the perks after all, but I see absolutely no reason why the downside should be equal to the advantage. Just like you guys, I view perks as a way to define my character. Take Fast Shot for example, the downside being that you...

Not sure about the U.K, but the Germans have some very strict laws regarding violence and other potentially offensive material in video games.

Am I the only one to think they should have chosen a better opening line?

Agreed, paintball is really fun. I used to play both it and laser tag a lot a few years ago, but haven't played it in a while. What I'd really like to get my hands on is the kind of laser training equipment we had in the military. Now that was fun!

I'm ambivalent about the game, it's mission based structure is a turn-off for me and the roleplaying is shallow to say the least. Still, it's a fairly enjoyable game.

My thoughts: Character creation: Pretty good, but it could have been handled smoother with more things on the same page. Appearance could be one a separate page, but it would have helped to have attributes, traits, spirit and skills on the same page. Graphics/Sound: Nothing stellar on...

Yep, tough luck to say the least. Moving from one host because of server problems just to get new problems at the new host.

Atheist, although I guess I could be considered a borderline agnostic.

Hmm, I think I actually grow more jealous every time I read your system specs... BTW, what's up with the Lair? Seems to only work half of the time, and when it does it's slow as hell.

I think that a few real names could sneak into the game, but I'd prefer real world locations with new names and completely new locations like the Hub, Junktown or Vault City. Say that you came to the town of Holywood, in the Boneyards, inhabited by religious zealots who are to dense to...

I got a pretty crappy computer, but I'm moving in a couple of weeks and I'm thinking this is a good time to get a new one. Any suggestions on what to do buy? I don't really need a state of the art machine, nor can I afford it, but I want a decent gaming platform.

In the previous games, it seemed like Speech and Intelligence were more important than Charisma. Perhaps this should be balanced a bit? A very charismatic person doesn't always have to be the smoothest talker or the slyest deceiver, sometimes the pure force of their personality should be enough.

I thought the kids and their twisted society was pretty cool, but Tina Turner sucked beyond what I believed humanly possible.

Without posting a long list, I'd probably say that Apocalypse Now. the Godfather movies, and various Kurosawa flicks (Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, Ran) belong at the top.

Hmm, these lists are always so damn hard to do. Anyway, my list would probably look something like this: 1. Civilization 2 - No other game has "stolen" so much of my time 2. Fallout - Best CRPG so far. 3. Pirates! - Two Sid Meier games in my top five, this game also occupied a lot of my...

I can agree that ammo should be somewhat rarer than in the previous game, at least as a trade commodity. When it comes to the more common, and more importantly, easier to make ammo types like 10 mm (or 9 mm, if Joshua's gets his way, which he will) should still be fairly common. Making these...

One thing about having less ammo is that this will automatically mean that you'll also have less enemies who shoot at you, not necessarily a good thing if you ask me.
