I was thinking the other day, that if Van Buren was largely finished before it was cancelled, and Bethesda now owns the rights to what was made, then how about they get a small team at Obsidian to finish it off. Surely, if the game is nearly done it wouldn't cost too much money from a...

The save game was from a version of 2.1 that was installed over 1.2. I reloaded from before I entered the village, but it's probably still a residual effect from the 1.2 files, so my bad. I think I'll go ahead and start a completely new game so I know that any new crashes aren't because of any...

I did a clean install of both Fallout 2 and RP, but I continued using the save game from before. Is that going to prove to be an issue? Because I've still had some crashing problems. Again, I picked up a Gecko pelt in the primitive village just to try it out, and this time it appeared in my...

Well I grabbed 2.1.1 when the new post went up on NMA, but yeah, I might have installed it over 2.1. So it's the gecko pelts that give you the -17,000lb? It was hard to keep track because I already had pelts and healing powder in my inventory.

I can't believe they're actually proceeding with that after F.3.A.R. got laughed out the door only a couple of months ago. Or was it F.E.4.R.? I don't actually follow the series. Which then leads to the obvious - if my l33tsp34k is up to date then is a stand in for A, not E, so the game is...

Thanks for the tips. The main problem for me was that it felt like the game was forcing me to become a generalist. You get stuck in the first town and you can't leave without either fighting the 2 thieves (seemed impossible in my attempts) or you Persuade them to let you past. I hadn't...

I'm getting some pretty major crashes after visiting the Primitive Tribe. My guess is a memory leak because after the first crash it told me that Windows was running low on Virtual Memory. After getting the Shaman to release the ghost to the afterlife he offered to reward me with some healing...

Add my name to that petition!

I'm looking for some general tips to aid in my enjoyment of Arcanum, and I figured posting in this thread would be preferable to starting a new one. I got the game off GOG because people around here spoke highly of it, and I've sunk a whole heap of hours into it hoping to reap some sort of...

Huge thanks to Killap. Just re-bought the games on GOG the other week, so I'll have to patch FO2 before getting stuck into it.

But what is the best choice of a tat? The best choice is something that the person really wants, that they've thought through, and that they get done by a skilled tattooist... It looks like jarlaxle hit all those nails on the head. Now sure, not everyone is the sort of person who would get...

Back in 1998 I used to LAN with a few friends, mainly playing Action Quake 2, other Quake 2 mods, Starcraft and others. At one LAN one of my friends who was older than the rest of us and who I looked up to immensely raved about the Fallout games and gave them both to me. I sat down and...

Geof Darrow's art is astounding, and I wish he was doing the interior art, but then again he isn't known for his punctuality. I was going to buy the CE anyway once I heard that it came with a graphic novel and poker supplies - the fact that they got Darrow on board just makes me happier about...

I'm playing FOnline: 2238. My PC died, so I'm stuck on an old laptop 'til I can afford a new computer.

Read through the whole thread and didn't see anybody mention The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard. It's post-apocalyptic, but not post-nuclear, dealing with the psychological effects of the apocalypse and isolation on a group of people who are left behind in an abandoned city that is mostly...

No, but I bought a leather jacket from an op shop (thrift store?) and I cut one of the sleeves off. Used to have a Blue Heeler, but she died. I've also been collecting bottle caps for a couple of years now. It's more out of habit than anything else though. I was looking forward to taking a...

The way I see it, F:T was a great tactical action game, but a poor excuse for a Fallout game. I think most people around here would probably agree.

I blame the internet for buggy games. Seriously. Years ago when the internet wasn't around, or wasn't that widespread, you never got buggy games, because it was so much harder to get patches out to the community. Now developers just assume that every gamer has the internet (probably a safe...

Another thing Bethesda messed up - In the original Fallouts it was a long time before you saw an Energy weapon, so there was no point in tagging it at the start of the game... In Fallout 3 all you had to do was stumble on over to Super Duper Mart, kill a few raiders and voila - your very first...

Even though it would make my pants happy, I'm not going to vote for a top-down isometric view... I'm going to be realistic. 1. Storyline and dialogue that is up to the standard of the original Fallout games. 2. Third-person view that works. I used and much preferred the third-person view...
