Truth be told, I'd rather they used the old engine than some Oblivous rip-off. That said, none of the fans are really recommending an out-dated engine... we just want a game that's faithful to the original. That's what the "3" indicates.

Of course, I've heard about Oblivious fanboys in extensive detail; how could you not, on NMA? I guess it just didn't really sink in until I looked at the Beth forums. Wtf? These kids (and, despite the fact that many of them are likely older than me, I will continue to call them "kids," unless...

I believe in science, which comes to logical conclusions by observation and experimentation. It's not that I'm not open to the idea of a deity, but more that no religion presents a possibility I find likely (or even possible, in some cases). We can discuss this farther, if you'd like, but I'd...

Ah. I'm not going to go so far as to agree with the guy that said religion should be outlawed, although I can understand where he's coming from. And no, I don't believe religion is the source of all evil. Indeed, religion does good things, as well; it's all based on the individual. Anyway...

It could conceivably have some connection with the fact that religion has inspired many, many bad things for all of its existance. The Spanish Inquisition. The Crusades. Many Christians -- and I say Christians specifically because that is who I've had contact with -- are hypocrites at best even...

Someone mentioned Americans wanting things translated... this is because very few Americans are multi-lingual; AFAIK, notably less (in terms of %) than Europeans. So... not a desire, so much as a need. If they're to experience it at all, they must experience it in English.

Favorite moments In both games, my favorite part was certainly talking to the Master. Every time I play Fallout 1, I enjoy that part the most. Fallout 2 had less quality per scene, but the Sierra Army Depot was cool the first few times around. Other than that, the Enclave, Military Base in both...

There's a huge error in your (lack of) logic there. You see, humans have this thing called instinct (though it is up for debate how much we have and how influential it is, we do have it), provided by millions of years of evolution. Yeah, computers don't have that, not even an AI -- which, by the...

FEV as the ultimate excuse, and Buck Rogers space cities Okay... first off, while FEV would be limited to the U.S. West Coast, radiation was (until the Fallout Bible) the primary factor in the majority of mutations. Super Mutants (well, them and the Master) are the only things that were...

Mass Vertibirds, you say? I'd hope that, were it to be implemented, Beth would have the sense to make their use quite a rarity; rapid travel just changes the world, IMO, too much to make it really feel like Fallout anymore. More likely, though, it'll be either far over-used or ignored...

At least in my experience, the Deathclaw he's talking about (either Shaav or Shriek) does indeed make an excellent scout for quite some time... but, like people said, rapidly becomes useless in combat. What happened to the Deathclaws that could even, sometimes (and in a group) rip up someone in...

In falche, the path should only be directed to the folder your Fallout exe is in; the program apparently assumed the data/savegame part. For me, at least, I set the path to C:\Program Files\Interplay\Fallout.

While it's very true that the Advanced Power Armor was highly intimidating and generally wicked-looking, the Power Armor was (if to a lesser degree) as well, and, in my opinion, fit the Fallout world much better than APA. We won't discuss Fallout Tactics' armor, though.

The file path (from your Fallout2 folder) is data/data/worldmap.txt. The file may have been changed by Killap's patch; but in any case, the portion I'm referring to has the header "Newly added Random Encounter Tables for Fallout 2" and is huge. The special encounters in that section all have...

Looks like a solid build to me, though you may suffer in Tactics for the EN, and you'll suffer in 1&2 for the CH, I think. All-around good build. Let me know how it works out.

Actually, I think working for the BOS should give you something on your character sheet, like shoveling crap and joining a Family in FO2.

You can do it with the Special Encounters by messing with the worldmap.txt file; they're in percentages, I believe, and there are also level requirements. Since they don't occur more than once, you can mark 'em with as high a percentage as you want, as far as I know (though over 100% would be dumb).

Hey, Killap... hate to pester you, but any news at all on the project yet? Any more questions for the NMA community? The NCR Rangers, by the way, did seem lacking. An anti-slave group that apparently doesn't have any work for a new guy to do?

110F Actually, I think it might also be a crack on global warming.

Gecko's Non-Nuclear Plant Gecko definitely needs more radiation; if it's possible, the reactor pit should be fixed. No way a PC should be able to run into a nuclear reactor and come out fine. Also; the sub is an excellent idea.
