    Are gaming journalists as ignorant as gamers??

    As a Fallout fan, I share your frustration with reviewers' opinions of New Vegas; I almost shouted when one moron complained that "the revenge quest of New Vegas doesn't resonate as deeply as the plot of Fallout 3", as if Bethtards were actually more intelligent writers than the people who wrote...

    funniest moments from fallout games

    Fallout 1's sense of humor was very subtle, and I loved some of the descriptions they provided. You see: pipes Upon closer examination, they are still pipes. The Chosen One's dialogue in Fallout 2 was priceless, though. "Oh, I thought there weren't any children around because this is...

    so what if Interplay wins back the Fallout ip?

    Why are you using the archaic version of the letter 's'? Anyways, I don't think that Interplay would get the license back anyways. I would be happy, however, if Obsidian won the Fallout franchise and got Tim Cain back on the team.

    Favorite Faction and what you would do if you were a member

    I would like to be an NCR Senator. I'd live comfortably, keep my house immaculately clean, and send out adventurers to find books for my public library...

    Fallout Games Personified

    Just as a little joke, I decided to figure our what the Fallout games would be if they were people, which is to say: to take the tone, writing and general style of each game and compare it to a human archetype. This is just a joke, and not meant to be sincere at all. Fallout 1: An ex-Army...

    Things we learned from Fallout 3

    342. The old-school fans can be safely ignored, because masses of mouth-breathing morons will buy anything with exploding people and dirty language. 343. The Brotherhood of Steel has nothing better to do than waste human resources on an expedition to D.C. 344. The Brotherhood is extremely...

    Wacky credits

    You, good sir, are spot on.

    How could've the Legion be less...terrible?

    I think that it would be more interesting if they actually kept up with the "misinterpreted Romans" theme. The Legion is sort of like the Kings gang in that it plays on the old idea of "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" and is actually quite a clever premise. I think; however, that motif...

    How could've the Legion be less...terrible?

    Most antiquated forms of armor are ineffective at resisting bullets; however, the thicker bands of the lorica segmentata would probably be more effective. If anything, either armor would be used by the Legion to fight melee-based enemies, especially guys like the fiends. Considering most...

    How could've the Legion be less...terrible?

    1. In pretty much every way possible, chainmail was more convenient on the battlefield than Lorica Segmentata; however, I can see the point with manufacture. 2. While the Romans did indeed have superior battlefield medicine to any other nation for until after the American Civil War, I'm not...

    How could've the Legion be less...terrible?

    Yes, making the Legion less extreme would have improved them. I think that the Legion should be able to rival the NCR in some ways, but not all. For one, I am all for changing the Legion's equipment to real metal armor and helmets, like actual Roman post-Marian legionaries. I've had this...

    How in the hell can they say this game is Faction balanced?

    I always thought Caesar's real name was Reginald Kennith Dwight... or Salmon Rushdie... All joking aside, some excellent points about the Legion's infrastructure have been brought up. As for the Romans and their colonization techniques, the game is far off from the truth (but then, that's...

    Idea for an expansion pack

    I was thinking that if you are Legion, you're rewards include high up membership in the Legion, and your own Frumentarius follower (a new character). In the main quest, I was thinking that Vulpes Inculta would assist you for some of the time, since he would be chosen to handle some of Caesar's...

    How in the hell can they say this game is Faction balanced?

    Unarguably, the better-off citizens of NCR live in conditions unimaginable superior to those of the Legion's citizens, but look at the history and location of the NCR compared to that of the Legion. During and slightly after the time of Fallout 2, when the NCR was first growing, there were...

    Whats your favorite radio music?

    A Santa Claus hat and some present-bombs? Or maybe the jolly man in the red suit himself slapping around Todd Howard for being naughty....

    Whats your favorite radio music?

    Anything but Johnny Gitar. Seriously, I hate that guy, and wish we could go back in time to kill him, so that the song was never written. While the vanilla radio music is rather limited, RACE does a great job of mixing it up. That said, I still like the ambient music: the mix of Mark Morgan's...

    How in the hell can they say this game is Faction balanced?

    Don't try that bullshit on me. I specifically used the phrases 'United States' and 'Westward expansion'. I didn't mention early colonialism at all. The United States' Manifest Destiny-inspired Westward expansion WAS imperialism because the US government used the weak argument that 'it is our...
