I keep seeing various people say that Fallout 3 is easy. I'm guessing they either played on the easiest setting, or never ran into any yao guai or deathclaws. There's also the option of taking the nerd rage perk. When you try and keep your life low all the time it can be a bit tricky when...

I'm impressed! There's no, "We're almost done, but our coder ran out on us. So now all we need is a coder so that's why we're revealing our project." Yay!

I'm guessing if we want to install both then we would install the unofficial patch first, and then the Restoration project?

Ooh! Spiffy. Now I may have to play through with a character with maximum Charisma. I don't suppose there's also a way to turn off the "maximum stats = 10" thing as well? :P That always determines that I set all my stats at 9 or less when I start a new character.

Is there a fix somewhere that allows NPC followers to "always" gain a level every time the PC gains a level? That's one of the most annoying things about Fallout 2. It always encouraged me to reload and try again. xP Which is rather annoying. It shouldn't be like that. It's stupid enough as...

Funny. I happen to have a collection of... probably a thousand (give or take a few hundred) miniatures. Although I tend to prefer metal minis, rather than plastic, and fantasy, rather than sci-fi. I've probably painted around, oh, say, less than 20 minis. I wish I was better at it...

Every time you'd fire that weapon, the game would instantly end. Since it destroys planets and all... Reminds me of the armageddon spell in the Ultima games. @Burrich: I thought Nelson was the name of a prisoner NPC.

Meaning the statement would look like this? It still doesn't make sense. Edit: Also, notice that he said he "cleansed the town", meaning there are no enemies left. Edit 2: I give up on this. It's obvious this guy was only given a job because he can punctuate properly (or was this...

Yeah, that paragraph is starting to remind me of the movie Idiocracy. He's constantly throwing around "they this" and "they that" without defining which group it is that he is referring to. One possibility: And and...

About 2 or 3 times lately, but it was kinda different. It was a large spider descending on its thread above me. I never find anything though. Sucks that the human mind wants to hallucinate things like that. I usually can't sleep afterwards either. :P I didn't have the "creepy crawlies"...

Fallout 3's super mutants were created differently than those from Fallout 1 and 2. You eventually find the lab where they were created. This still doesn't really excuse the centaurs though. Plus, they're called super mutants and the centaurs are called centaurs. I really wish Bethesda had...

Well there's this: "I cut down some NCR captives they’d been keeping around." Which happens before they attack the PC. Sounds pretty cut & dry to me. I mean if someone has 10 people prisoner. Person B kills the captor, then proceeds to kill the prisoners.. is it not natural that they might...

Well exploitable follower AI has been around since the earlier Fallout games. You could get your followers to kill the thieves in Fallout 2 and you wouldn't get any bad reputation from it. It's good to see that they are staying true to the elements that make up a true Fallout game...

It's funny how so many people still think that, by default, all Super Mutants must obviously be male. :P

For me, I enjoyed Fallout 3 more. I might have enjoyed Stalker more if not for the crazy shaky camera as you walk/run (which was fixable with a patch) but the FPS elements just weren't all that fun IMO. Maybe the game gets better later on, but I quit shortly after doing some of the arena...

Well that explains why I never found the solar scorcher. This is probably one of the rarer special encounters in Fallout 2. I played through several times and had many special random encounters, but never this one.

I understood the "lack of meaningful choices" was referring to the fact that regardless of what you do in Deus Ex, it has no real effect later on in the game since you basically have 4 possible endings, based on what you do at the end of the game. Also.. it's possible to save your brother? I...

Hmm... well someone could always email them and ask about Arcanum. xP Also, it's unfortunate that most games with the amount of freedom you find in Fallout seem to have hidden time limits. Kinda limits your freedom but adds some replay value, considering most people won't keep a backup save...

I hope you guys have plenty of programmers/mappers/whoever-puts-it-all-together-kinda-people for your project, because a few other Fallout projects died due to lack of these types of people. xP It'd be nice to finally get to play a full scale Fallout mod. Most of the mods I played were rather...

Maybe because then the article would have to be named "Fallout & Arcanum's Forgotten Revolution"? Maybe because the article is named "Fallout's Forgotten Revolution"? Maybe the author didn't think Arcanum was all that revolutionary? Or maybe he hasn't played or maybe didn't even like...
