I'm going to go with Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Deus Ex 1 I actually have super mixed opinions about. It was seriously buggy when I first played it, and the schizophrenic narrative and terrible voice acting really put me off in the age of Homeworld and Half-Life. As far as stealth-focused...

So from the vibes I've gotten from this forum over the years. It seems like the happy medium between the Fallout format of today and that of yesteryears is a game with Dragon Age or Relic-style RTS presentation combined with Neverwinter Nights looks-like-real-time-but-actually-turn-based combat...

Would love to see a DMC/Bayonetta-style game based on the Harlequins. Compared to space elf ninja clowns who kill people with break-dancing and razor wires that rotor-blade a man's insides into goop, even the Space Wolves and Blood Angels are bland and drab by comparison.

I replayed it twice in the time between its release and New Vegas, and at this point, I'm not sure if I can go back to Fallout 3, even with all the mods. I'm not going to lie, I had an alright time with Fallout 3 even with the lazily done story (I don't think Bethesda has bad writers, they...

It seems that Obsidian made a point of addressing a lot of the issues the esteemed members of this forum had with Fallout 3: Playing up the moral ambiguity of the Brotherhood of Steel's motivations, introducing the DT system to make it more RPG-ey, the fact that creatures such as Deathclaws and...

Given the name of one of the achievements and the fact that Ulysses had thought you (the Courier) had died until he read your name on the Courier list in Primm, I would say that the Courier had lived in Hopeville. Maybe he/she had gotten sent on a job elsewhere in the Mojave when suddenly Big...

That 1600+ rounds of .50 cal you probably had on average in your inventory in non-hardcore mode? Yeah, you probably don't need *all* of it. But yeah, you probably might want to put some points into your repair so you can recycle some ammunition. This feature was actually something I...

Just listened to both the Giant Bombcast and Rebel FM where the hosts complained about not being able to play the game past the ending, and honestly, I'm a bit perplexed as to why this is such big issue. I'd hate to be called an Obsidian apologist, but given how there's a lot to decide in that...

How my character is now from implants and 2 purchases of Intense Training S: 6 (Get weapons handling so I can use 99% of the entire game's arsenal) P: 8-ish I think. E: 4(My character doesn't plan on getting hit) C: 4 I: 7 A: 8 (Got the Small-frame trait) L: 10 (The way I role-play...

It seems to me that if Bethesda (the publisher) wanted to play things smart, they'd like to get out Fallout 4 while the iron was still hot. With Bethesda the developer busy into mid-late October and Obsidian being ostensibly done with their current project (Dungeon Siege 3), is it conceivable...

Fucking... dude, Hassknecht! I've been listening to a metric shit-ton of Deathspell Omega lately. I'm practically going through Paracletus twice a day now. Horns to the fucking heavens man \m/ Anyhow, now that The Witcher 2 is the cRPG darling for PC gamers at the moment, I'm wondering if CD...

He pretty much nailed my sentiments on the head. I do believe it was on this very forum that it was said that one of the advantages of the isometric view was that since it left a lot to the imagination, it was easier to come up with in-game explanations for certain events. But with a game...

I'd wager it's because of fatigue with a first-person RPG using the Gamebryo engine rather than the fact that Obsidian has a reputation for broken games or that New Vegas was much more challenging. I'd like to think that an overwhelming majority of the people who came into the series with...

I'm fully aware that Obsidian had to ratchet up the difficulty for whatever level 30 or so players who got Honest Hearts, but it seems to me that for devs who kind of prided themselves on actually trying to go for a semblance of realism compared to Fallout 3 that a White Legs tribesman taking a...

Anyone else here sort of took issue with the character assassination the Overseer suffered in Fallout 2? At the end of Fallout 1, credit to his voice actor, he came off as a sympathetic character who genuinely believed it was to the benefit to everyone in Vault 13 if he gave the Vault Dweller...

Well, who knows? Maybe with Bethesda polishing their newest engine (well, it's probably still going to be busted, Gamebryo or no) and them crunching on Skyrim, maybe they gave the code to Obsidian and are letting them make Fallout 4 out of respect. Well, I dare to dream.

The story for FO3... has its moments that occasionally shine through the stuff that give you aneurysms. Lets just say that the story is quite obviously written by people who were probably a lot more at home writing fantasy stuff. That said, I actually thought the Pitt DLC was a pretty good DLC...

At face value, a reticent, repentant former stone-cold killer with a death-wish seems like a pretty troperiffic character (I could name a bunch of characters who fit this arch-type, chief of which, Jack Bauer), but he never strikes me as totally cliched to the point of annoyance.

Usually side with the NCR on my playthroughs. I mean, who wouldn't be on the side of guys dressed as badass as the Veteran Rangers are? And guys who "chew nails and spit napalm" can't be all bad. Can't stand the way the Legion treats women, so every playthrough I make a point of taking Boone...

Andrew Ryan from Bioshock was as much a genius and enterprising tycoon as House was, but that doesn't make him any less of a villain in the game, granted, a woobie villain in TVtropes' words. He could make good on what he's saying, but I'd say his chances are as good as NCR turning the...
