I might offer to help out with cleaning up the writing. I should probably try out the bloody thing first, though.

Went overseas, got a job, burnt myself out a bit on stuff to talk about. Been tossing around stuff to see if I can build a small backlog then start posting again in March. Might post a paper I did on NMA (quite different from Milner's). I'm not really excited by their mutation cure idea...

Sounds like something along the lines of the Family or Tenpenny, just bigger and with new art assets. At least this time there will be a roleplaying component. Wait and see how that turns out, and...

I think it's lovely that the language of HR, PR and journalism are merging so effortlessly. Oh, and advertising, too. Pretty sure we could well see the rise of a hybrid department in the industry soon - one company that deals with all four. With some mantra like "We help you communicate" and...

Is anyone actually prepared to claim that having one guy in Washington D.C. 200 years afer the war create a form of government which elects its leaders through a ballot box every so often, is improbable or unfeasible to the point of breaking the setting? I mean, that's all the 'Republic' of Dave...

Uh, overboard much? There're some stupid things in there that betrays a lack of thought (UK->US travel, companions/ending, etc) but it's not a pile of glistening poo. Yeah, maybe they should have copy & pasted the Behemoths to keep with the design? :| I mean, the subways were boring, but...

Guy really really likes the game.

Okay. I'm not sure what you're getting at here, though, cause none of that counters my point. The point being that Roy, taking his personality and situation in mind, has no reason to be as hesitant or cautious in kililng Tenpenny / humans as you think he should be. What? So Roy's aim is to...

Shooting on sight, or at least, making Roy/Michael's dialogue a lot more hostile, indeed would have helped, making the player feel like he was walking on thin air. Yes it does, in the setting. They are not suburban Americans who are angry at their neighbours and would settle with a good fist...

I agree. And I think in your condition, it would be quite obvious that you're still "Green" in the wasteland. It would be nice if, after a level check or a time played check (if that variable is available for FO3), Burke and Simms referenced this. (Similar to how the Redding (was it?) Sheriff...

Iozeph, I respectfully disagree. You say "Moral ambiguity needs to come from the informed choices you make", but that doesn't always need to be the case... and for TT, you *are* informed. When you speak to Roy Philipps and Michael Masters, it is very very clear that they intend to 'payback'...

Why? Simple, this kind of stuff screams of a disorganised and flawed methodology. Maybe it was 'design by committee'. Maybe someone got a bit too excited about what the player should be able to do, and that was prioritised over the internal coherence of the setting (a common flaw with devs this...

mrowa: Try fighting a deathclaw and count how much they can screw you up in two seconds. That's a very very long time. jaythegay: Yes, Dubby can simply set DumbAI=0 and we're all set! AI is often difficult to fix as a modder. I would indeed prefer stimpack injection take a...

If the right animation was lacking, you could simply use the syringe animation doctors execute when they heal you. In combination with F3C's vats nerf, it risks making the game way too hard, though. This is because in FO3, the AI simply charges straight at you, and you have little scope for...

Hey Mikael, just tried 1.5 and it's great. The technical limitations keep them a bit concise, but it's good work you're doing =. :clap: Any plans / possibilities in making it a bit more fleshed out with its own space? i.e. the IE model where you click on an item and a window opens up with...

Man. Isn't the key point that: -> After Mass Effect, many journalists are actively leading the way in insisting that ME's dialogue system is an 'evolution' from the now-obsolete past, and that there is absolutely no good reason whatsoever not to use this new system that is better in every...

jonny's just misunderstood joervol. Honestly, I feel sorry for the individual Beth devs who are sitting there now looking at the idiots playing the leaked versions.. but as a whole, the consumer is better for it, because the reviews aren't doing their job and Bethesda has refused to release...

Except they don't even want to release a demo. Roofles!

Personally speaking, I enjoyed NMA the most during VB's development, especially around '03. I mean, there was that knife-hanging-by-a-thread feeling of waking up every day and wondering if it was cancelled, but for me, I really liked the dev interaction, the lengthy speculation and discussion...

Shh! :lol: Yeah, speaking in journalistic terms, they do that - but in this instance I trusted that he wouldn't mind, so I just wanted to throw a lot of ammunition at him and let him play around with it.
