    Tell us your favourite protagonist

    LOL @5545Trey - nothing better to do over a recent weekend than grave-dig a bunch of old threads? (-; This. The Vault Dweller story woven around this character just felt a lot more satisfying to me, more high-quality and serious. Plus ya gotta love Dogmeat, and ending the game as "A Boy...

    Have you moved on from Fallout?

    The wasteland *is* the world! Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait. Let me get this straight. There's a place beyond the wasteland to move on to? Really? Who told you that? (Was it that shady trader over there, that Beth person? The one who sells you a lot of broken items but assures you that...

    Would you rather be a Vault Dweller or a Wastelander?

    Educated Wastelander (e.g., former Vault Dweller or child of knowledge-hoarding survivalists). The unexamined life is not one worth living; a life of exploration, of struggle, of opportunities for growth is much preferable to a life of stagnation in a vault. -m

    Saving in combat, is it really that bad?

    I've experienced all the issues people mention: Unloadable game, allies turning on me (in F1, I think), losing my turn, ... and nothing at all (no issues). The sequence problem, by the way, has to do with a flaw in the way combat sequence is determined. It's been a while, so I don't remember...

    Fav weapon...why?

    Holy Ancient Thread, Vaultman! Solar Scorcher (F2); solar-powered (environmentally-friendly), unlimited ammo (can always use other weapons as back-ups in dark places), and joyous giddy-making. ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! I CAN STAND HERE FIRING ALL DAY, MOTHERFUCKERS! BRING IT ON! Aw shit, a cloud ...

    How did you discover Fallout ?

    I should add that when I got to Frost's dorm room, he closed the door, dimmed the lights, insisted I get comfortable (okay, minds out of the gutter, people; that's not where this is going) in front of the computer (a 386 x 20 MHz PC, iirc), ... and started up the intro sequence. I was...

    A review of the RP game progression experience and small tweak suggestions

    Yeah; pretty much that (except busy with summer job, not vacation). (-; -m

    A review of the RP game progression experience and small tweak suggestions

    I just read the whole thread (including text walls), and I fully support the latest versions of lujo's proposed changes. Glad to see that Killa' P is giving them serious consideration for RP inclusion. As I see it, such changes are a necessary part of restoration. Content restoration isn't...

    How much idiocy can one person take before they finally snap?

    Does there need to be a reason? "Idiocy" seems to have it covered. :D Though at a guess, I'd say either A) they're bagel fanatics, B) they get some kind of sadomasochistic pleasure out of the procedure or the skin stretching, C) they want to make sure that they are never offered a job above...

    Wasteland (1) too primitive looking? How I got past it

    Actually, I knew immediately that the first picture was Hitchcock - but mainly because the image usually was shown on (US) television at the start of episodes of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," with a silhouette of Hitchcock himself walking into frame with the line drawing. Perhaps this just...

    [POLL] Have you played Wasteland!?

    For those who are not willing to restart from scratch upon losing their party, here is the Wasteland Unofficial Multiple-Save Game Method: 1. In-game, manually save the game at a point you want to be able to restore. 2. Exit the game. 3. In your file explorer, find the Wasteland root folder...

    How much idiocy can one person take before they finally snap?

    That's weird (and yes, idiotic), but not too disturbing... seeing someone slice them open, toast them, and add cream cheese, though - now *that* would make me snap! -m

    How much idiocy can one person take before they finally snap?

    This thread reminds me of an early promo for King of the Hill that had just Hank Hill standing alone facing the camera and saying something like "I'm here to say that I think it's okay for people to have piercings and tattoos. It helps the rest of us identify the people who aren't quite right...

    Rate the avatar above yours.

    TheChosen1: Artwork's attractive, but not quite my cup of tea - at least, not very Fallouty-themed, imo. But hey, what do I know? I do like the Emilio Estivez avatar, IEatSupermutants; reminds me of Repo Men. -- I can't believe this thread is still running! 699 pages, whoa. How long 'til...

    Fallout 2 mod Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.3.3 (Unofficial Expansion)

    For everyone else, by the way, here's a noteworthy quote from Killa' P in that 2011 interview: "I feel that my modding days are behind me and I don't really have the time anymore to put in the hours needed to make a really great mod. However, I do plan for at least one more release of the RP...
