Pretty much. I tend to find some level of enjoyment from a lot of different titles, even the dumbed down one's made by Bethesda. In the end, the game is mindless, fun in some ways, disappointing in others. It's not a title I will go to for a deep RPG experience, and it's not a title I see...

Of course. It's not a "bad" game per se. It has decent graphics, fighting is fun, there's lots of content to pursue, ect, but if you look at it honestly, there's only one thing it does well -- open-world. Coming from Daggerfall or Morrowind, you realize that a lot of elements have been...

I've run into so many random encounters, that pariah dog tho haha. I don't know whether to love him or hate him, the oil rig was funny though -- the enclave soldiers would just drop their weapons and focus on attacking the dog, little do they know... And then the guy on the bridge, that was...

Middle Earth all day.

Skinny Puppy is the shiz, love that song, def 10/10. Really like VX Gas Attack and that whole album, Testure. I've been listening to this song for a minute now, love it, and I also love the video, set in beautiful LA. I happen to live a little south of there. There is no place like...

Fallout 2 easily followed by Fallout 1 then New Vegas, and then Fallout 3. With Fallout 2, the world is vast, lots of interesting characters and locals, great writing, and I loved the story, not to mention the improved gameplay mechanics. The worst thing about the game are the crashes and...

I don't think this forum is overly-negative in the slightest -- simply, that these people don't like their opinions challenged. They don't want a debate. Instead, they come here to stir trouble rather than discuss. It's simply a sign of immaturity and lack of cognitive effort on their part...

I'm a codexer, fall under the alias CrawlingDead. I like it. I think most people get the false impression that everything is to be taken literally there. There are a lot of great posts, most of which aren't meant to be taken literally. You got to have thick-skin, which is why Bethfans stay...

I'm a big book lover myself. I read everything, but mostly stick to the classics -- much insight can be found in a couple words from Aurelius or Plato. ;) I would definitely have to recommend Meditations and the Republic if you haven't read them already. I also like Plutarch's Lives. I...

Certainly, here in the states, obesity is a problem. I've traveled the world a dozen times over and lived in Japan for a couple years. Coming back to California was an eye-opener to be sure. I mean I love the burritos and the great food joints here, but damn do they over-portion, and it's no...

I can't say anything about Reddit, but I do have to wonder in a general sense where some people think it's absolutely necessary that others share in their sentiments 100%. I suppose it reinforces some level of confidence in themselves that otherwise they don't get anywhere else. But seeing...

What's next you're going to tell people you got attacked here for having a different opinion than the mass of angry Fallout fans stuck in the past? lol, nobody is twisting anything, just want to make sure you understand that. It's called a discussion. This place is a forum, a meeting place to...

It's an ok game, even an ok RPG, but that's what Bethesda has been doing for about 20 years now. I've come to realize that they've really not strayed too far from the original formula since Arena -- wide open world, sandboxy, light stats, real-time action, low-brow dialog and writing, barely...

I've always imagined the Legion as pretty gray myself. Humanity isn't homogeneous and neither is morality. While I agree that they were indeed brutal, I think there is something to be said for them -- the fact that they did indeed bring stability and possibly a form of civilization back to the...

It all depends on what you're looking for. A lot of fans like the game because it gives them that escape pretty readily. It's RPG lite, no matter how you cut it, but it's a wide open world where you can kind of go anywhere, do anything -- although that phrase has kind of lost its way since...

I think a lot of the prejudice against NMA, and even the Codex, to some extent is derived mainly from a lack of willingness to accept that others share different opinions and insights. As you can see here from this thread, no one is flaming you for your opinion. Rarely, do I see that here. On...

It all started with the Fallout 3 hype. I was a frequenter of Bethesda forums at the time, and there were quite a lot of old fans talking about the series and the great things that were missing from Fallout 3. So I jumped in, bought Fallout 1 & 2 for $20 on Ebay -- discs, case, and all. I...

Backup your saves, and reinstall the game. Mine crashes a lot too, but that might help. Also, don't tick the box on 640x480 in backwards compatibility settings.

I thought they were ok, but TES as a whole has had a slew of problems from the start -- bad writing, poor character development, lack of choices and consequences, ect. While I liked Morrowind the most, there has been a constant streamlining of features. It's interesting to see the difference...

I see where you're coming from, but where else can you go to bitch about Bethesda games besides the Codex? Sometimes it's nice to congregate with like minds when you have to defend your views everyone else.
