Re: And other bits From what I have seen of the game I would rephrase that:- A FPS isn't a RPG. Regardless of how many RPG 'elements' may be present.

Sigh. I completely agree and relatively speaking I was one of the optimists. I gave up all hope of a game truly in the vein of Fallout and Fallout 2 a long time ago but I still nevertheless expected the game to be a RPG, not some b@stardised FPS-Adventure-RPG mess. When I saw the FPS style...

Having to make your character go to the toilet would just be silly. The need for water was somewhat dealt with in a limited fashion in Fallout 1 and 2 IIRC. There was occasionally a random encounter whereby you lost hit points because you couldn't find any water. iN In towns these sorts of...

I understand the basis of the initial point. In PnP RPGs, you can create any kind of character you wish and a relevant world can be formed around them. In a game like Fallout the opposite is happening as you have to create a character to take part in a pre-defined quest. Certainly pre...

Apart from random encounters the majority of people are encountered in towns and other settlements. I suppose you might not need to wear head gear unless you were going to be exposed to the sun for long periods. I have a feeling that there wasn't the time or inclination to pay that much...

I remember one day back in 1997 when I had the day off because my school had flooded. I spent the whole day playing fallout solidly and it was on this day that my love affair with the game began. I think the naivete with which I approached the game made it all the more special. I only had a...

Necromunda (and Gorka Morka of course which is very "Mad Max") is by far the best Games Workshop system to adapt for a Fallout tabletop game. The best thing about the system by far is the RPG element whereby each gang member gains experience and improves. It just so happens that I am in the...

I could live with the game being 3D, largely because FO:3 being anything other than 3D is probably a non starter. Sad but true. FPS? Absolutely no. A true RPG simply cannot be a FPS game, unless all you do is move your character around, hex by hex, and point at the things you want to shoot...

I think NCR should exist in some form or other. It was prospering under Tandi ( a little too much for some peoples' liking) , so why not have it fall apart under her asshole son? He takes a more authoritarian approach to ruling things, certain sections of the city take a disliking to this...

I agree in the sense that their presence wasn't explained at all. Any further inclusion in the Fallout universe would be shaky territory I agree, I was just throwing out ideas.

Although it could be terrible if done poorly, I think that the aliens from Fallout 2 could make a decent "bad guy" in Fallout 3. They could originate from a planet with a highly radioactive atmosphere, therefore making post apocalyptic earth a perfect colony. Furthermore earth is largely...

Fallout 1 Avellone the bounty hunter: "What do you want?" The Vault Dweller: "A donut" Avellone the bounty hunter:=" Buzz off, we don't like wise guys in here" Avellone the bounty hunter: "What do you want?" The Vault Dweller: "A donut" Avellone the bounty hunter: "That joke...

Has got to be spiked knuckles. First time I played Fallout 1 I thought that Dekker's stooge Kane was an awesome character (complete nutter) and so based a Fallout 2 character on him. Shooting may be more effective, but there's something terrifying about a character that walks up to his...

Neither Fallout 1 or 2 really catered to stealth type characters. This is definitely an area where the game could be improved although I think perhaps the engine was too limited to do this area of the game proper justice. I wouldn't have any problem with Bethedsa implementing the ideas that...

As far as items go, I would like to have had more upgrades for existing weapons. Silencers anyone? This would have given assassination missions a bit more finesse. I think everyone was agreed that planting explosive devices and injecting a dozen super stims was a tad silly. As far as the RPG...
