I'm not sure what Fallout would have looked like in 1987, but I sure know what it looked like in 1988. Sometimes I want to explode those Bethesda guys like a blood sausage!

Glad that got sorted out. I didn't want this to turn into a "Cooks Source" situation (google Cooks Source if you don't know what I'm talking about).

I think this guys confusion over a basic dialog mechanic is a good example of why so few reviewers thought New Vegas was better than 3, while nearly all of us do. No one wants to read dialog, nor do they appreciate good dialog anymore. Reminds me of Beavis and Butthead when they'd have to...

" For fans of the Fallout series the game will no doubt be one of their favorites, second only to its predecessor." I think the author must have forgotten about Fallout 3 and was instead talking about Fallout 2. :wink:

I don't know if the Nightkin companion will be any good or not but the "Dog" and "God" idea is pretty clever. Hopefully it will be developed well.

If this actually happened I hope they take a hands off approach like what's happened with Activision Blizzard. Let Obsidian handle the RPG games and let Bethesda do whatever it is they do well. The only thing I can think of is getting massive amounts of press to overhype their games, but I...

This guy's head would have exploded if he was around in the early 1980s when games like Zork gave you no hand holding at all and you had to figure out not only how to solve the problems yourself but the exact word the game wanted you to use as well.

If you are referring to my post... I indicated that in my comments. @Rev.: Reread what I said about Wasteland. I was talking about the supposed remake that Bryan Fargo made reference to at one point a few years ago.

That's a tough question because the years since about 2002 have been the worst period for RPGs in general since computer gaming began. Arcanum is good but it is part of the original Fallout's era of games. I consider it as much the offspring of Baldur's Gate as Fallout, but since both were...

Since when is the goal to rule the Wasteland? You play an important role in the how the future of the Southern California wasteland plays out, but you aren't ever meant to be an unstoppable force that can take out legions of well trained and heavily armored soldiers in a straightforward gun...

While Fallout 2 was over the top in terms of corny humor, it wasn't like the first game was humorless. Among other things, the very setting of Fallout is meant to have a bit of humor. If they wanted to play it straight the world of Fallout would be a generic post-apoc future. Instead they...

I wonder if people are forgetting this takes place in Vegas. Or maybe it is that many of you haven't been there. Las Vegas is one of the most over the top, and in many ways, cheesiest places in the world. Cesar's Palace is one of the oldest and most popular of the "strip" casinos. If you go...

"I should confess, I am a very big Star Trek fan. If it were up to me, this entire cast would be comprised of not just Star Trek, but Deep Space Nine characters. " I question how someone who is such a big fan of the series would refer to "Star Trek" and "Deep Space 9". When you are talking...

I remember those 80's games too. Sure you could write whatever you want, but 99% of the time the NPC response would be "I don't understand". The game was looking for specific words to progress and you could spend all day trying to figure it out. Going through a thesaurus trying to figure out...

In the December issue PC Gamer gave its game of the year awards. Dragon Age: Origins LOST to a Super Mario game. I pretty much lost faith in their ability to judge games after that one.

I'd be curious to see what he thought of the models in Fallout 3. One of the reasons (among many!) that I couldn't get into the game fully is that the character models seemed lifeless. For me at least they are squarely in the uncanny valley.

How can Fallout 3 be too hard for him but Dragon Age seem easy? I'm not saying Dragon Age is the hardest or most complex thing out there, but it has a lot more complexity than Fallout 3 ever did!

Planescape was released December 12, 1999.

I think the answer to why he is taking credit for Fallout is a simple one when looked at through the correct lens. Video games are entertainment. In the entertainment industry image and PR are everything. If you can in any way shape or form take credit for a successful project, you do. In...
