If done right it could be way more atmospheric. Short range only with very washed out green night vision would make pitch black sections possible. I've said it before, going into most underground subway tunnels should have been much darker and much creepier. Walking in with a flashlight would...

The artbook was nice. And that reminds me, I put off watching the DVD until after I beat the game, I need to go watch it now and see if anything worthwhile is on it.

Daggerfall was one of the first PC RPGs I ever played and as such I'm probably a little biased. I loved it. When it first came out it was buggy but later patches really helped it. It was tremendously wide open, especially compared to later Beth Soft offerings and as such had numerous...

I've also noticed that at melee range missed head shot occur pretty often with long guns. I've had raiders literaly step past the barrel of the hunting rifle so I'm shooting over their shoulder.

Nah, when they attack me and I kill them it's self defense. When I snipe them before they have a clue I'm coming for them it's murder. And I'm not saying that slavery is ok, I'm just saying that enslaving an evil character should incur less negative karma.

That makes sense.

Hehe, I remember how pissed off you could make Tandi look. Or alternately how embarrassed/disgusted if you hit on her with a female character. There is nowhere near that depth of reaction with the current pseudo talking heads and FO3 lacks because of it. FO3 is safe, but to be honest I...

Even before I played the game I couldn't wrap my head around the OXM 10. They even mentioned some of the flaws in the review they gave. How can you give a 10, a score meaning perfection, to an admittedly flawed product? Unless some flaws can be overlooked if you're getting a big enough...

I don't know if that's true or not, I think the perk description itself specifies "increases critical chance as though player had +5 to luck" or words to that effect, I'm at work and can't ref the game at the moment. SPECIAL caps consistently have been at 10, it doesn't say if finesse will go...

Whereas murdering them is ok? The karma system contradicts itself.

I couldn't stand to see him get killed but I got tired of baby sitting him. He's spent most of the game watching over my house in Megaton where I ditched him. I don't know why but I keep expecting him and Wadsworth to get into an epic fight and trash the place while I'm gone. That would...

Speaking of Mad Max I wonder if the Raider "Blastmaster" armor was inspired by Master and Blaster? (Yet another Beyond Thunderdome reference.) As if Dogmeat and the leather armor ripped off from, er inspired by the films wasn't enough :P

It can't be as recent as 15 years, the PC is too old. The bombs had to have dropped at least 19 years ago (PC age) but I would guess that if you factor in that project purity had to be started and then abandoned plus the fact the Rivet City was founded by Pinkerton even before that, that you...

If I had known absolutely nothing of the Fallout universe or backstory before playing FO3 I would have assumed the bombs had dropped absolutely no longer than 50 years ago. The only reason I would even remotely believe it had been even that long is that obviously some generations have passed...

It could be viewed as a form of karmic retrubition in and of itself. What more fitting punishment than enslaving a slaver? IMO it should either break even or least be a reduced karma hit.

Beyond Nuka Cola being awesome the other reason to own the Vending Machine is that you can stick Nuka Cola into it making it "Ice Cold Nuka Cola" Being Ice Cold gives you twice as much health when you drink it. And really, who wants to drink warm soda when you can have an Ice Cold Nuka Cola...

Of course FO2 was across the country on the west coast. Maybe Harold didn't spread the word when he trekked across the country?

Speaking of motion sickness that slight movement of the PIPBoy3000 is really disorientating when I'm overtired. My body can't decide if the screen is swaying because it's supposed to be or because I'm supposed to be passing out from exhaustion. That's usually my cue to call it a night :P

I played it much the same way and my love for it died quickly after getting in depth into the main quest. But that being said I'm looking forward to my next build and and jumping back in to try the nuetral path. I think that will be more challenging to play than pure good/evil. And reading...

It wasn't "Dad, I could be happily in the vault banging Amata but now I'm dying in this god forsaken wasteland because you couldn't leave well enough alone?" James is/was a dick.
