My friend just killed a raider, but she was standing in one position like she was alive. GOTY 10/10

Strangely, I was actually thinking about this earlier. In Fallout, you can join the villain, but you couldn’t in Fallout 2… well, sort of, but not sincerely. But even if you could, what could you do? Raid vaults (like in the intro), maybe? I recall the designers desiring to include a mission...

Mark Morgan’s music was not that homogeneous. There is some variety in his soundtracks, but I wouldn’t say that any of his songs would be inappropriate for a Fallout title. They all fit pretty well. It would be tiresome if they did use the exact same songs from the classic entries (Fallout 2...

Tim Cain(!) was the one who conceived the vault experiment idea, a feature which he had wished was conserved in Fallout 2. So far, I haven’t seen anybody directly criticize him for that idea. Perhaps the U.S. government thought that stressing out the vault occupants with challenges would make...

I finally installed it today, and I decided to play as a bellicose character. They weren’t exaggerating about the combat being brutal! I was in a battle against caravan defenders and a merchant, and I survived by the skin of my teeth, having less than ten health points and one ally (out of two)...

The way I see it, it’s just another corporation using the system to their advantage. They’d have to release a serious commercial failure for them to consider relinquishing the franchise. Fallout 4, as far as I can tell, isn’t going down that route. If we were serious about ending greedy...

Perhaps they should merge!

Bloody hell, that sounds dreadful. I wonder what was going through her mind, or if it just occurred accidentally. I’ve never personally seen a body that died from falling. I do recall seeing a squirrel next to a large puddle of blood, and it was the most gruesome scene that I had seen with my...

I think that they became more profit‐orientated when they released Morrowind for the Xbox, which doubtlessly owes much of its success to being released on multiple platforms, and the console release almost certainly lead to features being simplified (though having not touched Morrowind in over a...

Hmmmm… I think that I may understand. The separation doesn’t have to be completely different. But to me, it sounds like a question of quantity (‘you can have some real weapons, just not too many’).

You can’t skip the dialogue at all? That sounds really bad! I wonder if they took notes from playing Final Fantasy games.

Sad. I’m tempted to dismiss these cases as little kids with terrible parents, but I’m prepared to be disappointed. Some glitches are indeed harmless and can be amusing (e.g. certain visual glitches), but there are still many glitches that just ruin the game, like crashes and freezes. I saw one...

Fallout 4. It was actually probably Deus Ex, or maybe Baldur’s Gate. Back then, I constantly cheated.

The apathy of the NPCs truly has to be seen to be believed. My amigo can shoot Dogmeat in the back and he quietly stands still like nothing occurred.

Fallout 2 has understandably been criticized for its real‐world firearms. Because their timeline differs significantly from ours, it makes sense that they would have different weapons. That’s fair. However… we do have the 9mm Mauser & the Desert Eagle .44 from Fallout 1. At first, I would call...

There’s a character whom the vault dweller meets before the Big One, and he wears a nice suit. When sleeping beauty wakes up, he later finds the guy as a ghoul, wearing the same damn clothes, and they recognise each other. Even better, his suit seems to be in pretty good condition for being two...

I doubt that the original designers had the intention of creating accurate representations of California. Bakersfield is one area that’s definitely inaccurate. I have no idea what city (if any) that Necropolis replaced. Concerning the Boneyard’s appearance, my guess is that its design was...

The only reason why D.C. was the setting was because Bethesda is coincidentally situated in Maryland. That’s it. From a logical viewpoint, D.C. would have been hit the hardest considering that it was the seat of the United States government. Nonetheless, the boys over at Bethsoft just couldn’t...

Sduibek, did you already read my e‐mail concerning the Colt .45? It’s cut content that’d be quite facile to implement.
