I guess you could try to predict that nothing much will happen based on history and an understanding of human nature. But I think its worthwhile to remember that no one really knows what is going to happen in the future; I'm sure history is filled with many moments that defy logic or what...

I now understand NMA All I can say is, for the first time in my life I want to return this game after becoming cynical and disappointed in the first few hours. It really does feel like Oblivion, and with that, comes the feelings of superficiality and awkward, or in this case, lifeless...

---------- I think the (paraphrased) problem people have is that it is hypocritical to change the game to first person for immersion but then have this giant immersion breaking invisible wall. Of course this is assuming that it is true that they changed Fallout to first person over...

I think there is a difference between killing a child first-hand and nuking a village from far away; I think its kind of how like there are people out there who wouldn't eat meat if they had to kill the animal, but they buy meat products at the supermarket everyday. Just because you don't see...

I wonder Does anyone else wonder whether maybe Bethesda is actually trying their best to make a good Fallout sequel, but all/most of their ideas simply aren't that great, or well informed? Like with Oblivion - I'm sure they thought level-scaling was a great idea - that way you could always...

Why doesn't it make sense? Imagine fighting an enclave soldier in Fallout 2. If you score a critical hit, you can concuss the soldier or even knock them unconscious. More bullets to the head result in the soldier's death, being such a critical region. (Here I imagine Bethesda uses concussions...

My first reaction to your animated gif was amazement, followed by some laughter when the evil alien guy stuffed the souls into cardboard boxes. I wonder, on what basis do they believe that incredible story?? I guess the same goes for religion in general, like BN said. I guess its because a lot...

Political beliefs? Hmm...just to tack on my view: I'm not sure that I swing either way...after reading some interesting material (One example:Bastiat - a french classical liberal theorist), I'm starting to believe that the government isn't really necessary, and that most of the time it...

All thanks to a girl. "What I'm trying to say" by Stars. The ending is particularly good

I agree mainly with your point about how people lead lives that are too busy to really care about what is happening around the world; they may give a few dollars to charity now and then but really people are focused on working every day, taking care of the home/family/taxes, and then relaxing on...

I was simply stating that if any game does have an immortality scheme set up, then it should be done properly (in a convincing context) otherwise I could find the game unbelievable, and would thus argue difficult to immerse myself in (unless of course I circumvented it with the quick save...

Hey bigs - could you post the link please?? I'd really like to read that article! Is this death system similar to Planescape: Torment's, where you die and get resurrected at some spawn point that's safe from the enemy combatants? I guess the game is so smoothly done that there's no loading...

Hey everyone The first time I played Fallout I was in the seventh grade, and I was amazed at the depth and originality of that game. I can't remember a game I wanted to play more than Fallout II, but that was so long ago...when I used to play too much Anyways, I'm a materials science and...
