Yep, my main gripes with FO (in the early runs) were the interface, the size of the world and also the uselessness of the recruitable NPCs. Also, FO2 gave me some spoilers about the first game. However, I really enjoyed the thick atmosphere, it was much better than in FO2. One should always...

No doubt FO3 will sell, but my point was that the few who decide to play the originals now, and actually like the gameplay as it is, should avoid FO3 like the plague. From what we've seen, there's very little of what made the originals such great RPGs in FO3. An aside: of course it would be...

Maybe so, but they'll be in for a big disappointment if they just buy it without informing themselves.

He should definitely have started with FO; I made the same mistake. Getting a Windows PC (or setting up Windows on his intel mac) isn't that hard, is it? Anyway, he seems to be on the right track, I just hope he gets to try a few more characters. There's a lot to be explored there. And as...

While Fargo could just be trying to seize FO3's bad press in the hardcore circles as an opportunity to promote his future game, I hope there is really something to this, seeing as the Fallout license is probably lost to Bethesda and not changing hands soon. I hope Inxile is willing to listen to...

I disagree. While the people here can be a bit unforgiving towards newcomers, if one spends some time lurking and learning why people here think as they think and do as they do, it all makes much sense. A newcomer who comes in and speaks his mind without regard to previous threads about the same...

Great article. Besides the deservedly nice words about NMA, I also enjoyed seeing the bit about HLP, another community I lurk. Anyway, to the staff and regulars - keep up the good work, it is most appreciated. It's just a shame the recent news are not much to be happy about.

The current government in the USA is on their way out, so this might just buy them some peace for the time being... so it's either stupidity or irresponsability. GWB et al will be long gone when this problem surfaces, and few will remember the mistake.

Humming in onboard audio is normal. You can alleviate the problem by adjusting your master volume as low as you can and bumping up all the specific outputs (wave, MIDI, CD, etc.) to close to their maximum in the Windows mixer. Usually works well enough to go unnoticed. Also, if you have...

I'm not basing my definition of RPG on Fallout (though it would still make a good one, albeit too strict). Diablo is a hack-and-slash with some RPG elements (NPC interaction, character development, etc.). As for WoW, you do have a point, but it's still a pretty weak game strictly as an RPG...

If by influential you mean imitated, then yes, Diablo and WoW are influential. They're not RPGs, other than in name, though.

Thanks for the tips, Wooz. A photographer I am not. :wink: Anyway, some of the radios are quite heavy, so I'll try to get some better lighting on the smaller ones when I get a chance. monsharen, nice one.

I've finally taken a pic of the Loewe Opta logo. It was a bit dark, but you can clearly see the shape. The "opta" is a bit curved downwards... is this normal, Briosafreak?

I think they just want to 'beautify' the forum for the upcoming avalanche of morons, by keeping the discussion that really matters in a single thread... because outright deleting such 'inconvenient' threads could cause bad PR.

I may be able to get a closeup of the logo tomorrow.

That one's a Loewe Opta. Check the make of your radio, we could be in for a nice coincidence. :)

A friend of mine lent me his Fallout2 CD, can't recall exactly how long ago. I was unimpressed with what I thought were RPGs... lots of clicking to kill the monsters and not much else, so I was actually reluctant to waste time on the game. Some days later I decided to give it a try, and the...

according to this blogger. Spotted at slashdot. Interesting read, and he does mention the censored children in the European Fallout versions. Edit: it seems to be slashdotted at the moment, try this cache link.

9/10 for reminding me of a good movie I watched when I was a kid.

The problem with SPECIAL is that they can say "the game will use it", but the only thing they keep is what gives SPECIAL its name, the primary stats, and make a mess of the rest of the system. Of course, this is all hypothetical and I still have just a bit of hope they'll get everything mostly...
