I see this is a huge knee-jerk issue for you. You seem to be confusing me with the original poster. I said I don't care about gays in Fallout 2. At the end I explicitly said that my point was that you'll see more fringe behavior in a post-apoc world. Iroquois Mosuo Hopi Tribe Ede ...this...

I personally don't think Fallout needed gay prostitution. The whole thing was such a tiny part of the game that it just seems pointless to me. And I agree that it's reasonable to portray a post-apocalyptic culture that is similar to our own. But there's plenty of history that disproves what...

I almost made the same comment about GoT earlier. I was done with the series after 3 or 4 books, because I felt like it just turned the standard formula on it's head and followed it blindly. I'm a much bigger fan of Abercrombie for grimdark fantasy. I read the first couple of issues of the...

Cyrrodilll used to be a jungle. Until they implemented it and it wasn't anymore. There are a tiny percent of people who get angry about these changes, but they're mostly Bethesda junkies looking for that next fix, so no worries there. The console kids can't remember that far back and...

Love The Wolf Among Us. Loved TWD. Done with Telltale. If they ever start making games I might give them another shot. The stories were so good in the TWD and TWAUS that I could overlook the lack of player agency and C&C. But that can only work for a couple of games and they've settled...

OK, I really, truly hate to say this but: implanted memories. We know it's possible due to Nick. And an identical body. The problem is that I don't see any reason for Shaun and the Institute to do this. But let's handwave that for now. I'd prefer a Blade Runner-like hint setup where there's...

One thing that crosses my mind when I read your posts is that you like to think of game scenes in symbolic rather than literal terms. This is obviously neither legit nor invalid, but it creates a divide in how you think about the game versus how most others do. For example: Wife & husband...

Both PST and KotoR 2 had dialog options that amounted to flavor, but froze me in my tracks and made me consider how to answer. I actually feel shock when I run into those situations, maybe because great dialog and the scene/story setup that are required for it to work are so rare. Moments that...

I haven't finished the game, any of the faction quests, or most of the DLC quests. I think Automatron is the only one that I completed, because it's short, and at least Beth was trying to have fun. They're better when they fail at comedy than when they fail being dramatic or intellectual...

I'm neutral with a slight tendency towards appreciation. I ran into a documentary that interviewed him a while back, and didn't realize that Rocky Horror made his career. He was in the original theater show cast.

I'd love to see New Orleans as a setting. And honestly, pretty much any game is going to have factions pitted against one another. It's both realistic and helps to generate drama. Having a single "bad guy" would worry me more. Do you think Avellone would have left with a new Fallout in the...

I voted Commonwealth, but I think any area has potential if done right. Also: never made it to Far Harbor or Nuka World, though I own the DLC. I can never suffer far enough into a playthrough to get to DLC property. Reading posts here occasionally tempts me to reinstall, but there's really...

How have i not seen that mod before? Thanks for the link.

I've thought about trying to implement this in a mod for a while, but I always flake out. It's always seemed odd to me that something that would be relatively easy to implement (only one coder and a few testers) has been completely ignored. BTW, do you remember if Daggerfall had random...

He's bald, unshaven and has a really big gun. He has the nicest looking armor in the early game. Plus he talks in kind of a whispery growl. Did I mention the huge gun? The only thing that could possibly make him more badass would be to give him two guns. And a trenchcoat. Barechested...

This is pretty amusing considering that your dual definition requires the word to have gone through several steps of evolution in it's use, while simultaneously insisting that further evolution isn't allowed. And, also amusing, is that Romero's reimagining of the concept was inspired by...

Sean Murray deserves some kind of BS award. Molyneux does too. The thing with both of them is I can't tell to what extent they're deliberate, manipulative liars, and to what extent they're deluded and lacking self awareness and functional critical faculties. In other words: they're typical...

I think Beth is new to the whole branding thing, and it wouldn't surprise me that it hadn't occurred to them. OTOH, there would be a lot of haggling over the licensing, and Marvel is in a pretty strong position right now. For a quality series Dark Horse or one of the indies would be a better...

Yeah, that's the problem. There would have to be a new engine, or one that was more flexible than Gamebryo. Plus, honestly, I'd rather see a new game like New Vegas then rehashing the same story. I've never been a fan of remaking classics that don't need to be remade. In addition to not...

I'm not a fan of this kind of argument, because I often see people use it as an excuse to hide technophobia or other irrational biases. I'm not saying this applies to you, just wanted to warn about my own knee-jerk reaction to it. On to the devil's advocacy. Designers sometimes make bad...
