I actually felt Moira Brown was one of Fallout 3's best characters *shrugs* but she was woefully written if the target was the adolescent males who liked Fallout 3. Other than Moira, Roy Phillips, and Madison Li, the game basically had no characters whatsoever. FO: NV is definitely doing...

Why don't you have a seat right over here...

12 hours into the game. I've done more named quests than the entirety of named quests in Fallout 3, and there's still many more to do. - The voice acting is awesome. There hasn't been a single person I couldn't stand to listen to. - The writing for NPCs is really good, or maybe that's just...

So, I did accidentally kill an NCR soldier when I was in battle with them. I did a couple quests for them after that, and got a rep boost, but my rep didn't actually go above "shunned." I arrived at Helios One and no one was hostile. I went to turn on those two computers, and one of them was...

I'm gonna adopt that quonset hut next to the Yangtze Memorial, if I can. Have to leave a test item in there to make sure the containers don't reset. I don't understand the appeal of the "player house" thing either, because there's always lots of places you can inhabit informally - in all the...

Yup - I heard it throughout the Steve Bison Hotel. Really helped to set the mood! I didn't hate Fallout 3's music, but FO1/FO2 music boosts this game's cred by a thousand points in my book.

Always my problem with the early part of Fallout games (and Bethesda games, for that matter)...I get my ass done beat every few steps. It seems particularly brutal in FO:NV. Everywhere I go, scorpions I can barely harm, mosquitos that rip me apart. Where are you guys spending your early game...

Fallout 3 fucking crashes on me so many times. I just replayed it and I cannot begin to detail the trials and tribulations I went through trying to get it to stop freezing randomly while indoors. Disable AGP textures? Tried it. The Ffdshow codec stuff? Don't have it, so not applicable. Reduce...

I've replayed Fallout 3 three times with about 30 hours each time. The first time was when it first came out and I was extremely curious as to what Bethesda had wrought in my beloved franchise. Disappointment, it turns out. Replay #2 was after some mods came out. I modded the game so it...

Another flaw is that you only get dialogue options about your father in places he's already been. You can't ask about your dad in Arefu, but you can in Megaton. Apparently you're partially psychic. In Fallout 2 you could ask about the GECK everywhere and get dicked around by a variety of...

Bethesda laziness: you can tell when locations are irradiated because there's going to be a lot of smog in the air/murky water/etc. The scary thing about radiation in real life is you DON'T know what is irradiated and what isn't. There's no big smoggy green cloud to tell you what's going to kill...

The Dunwich Building. Old Olney. The last bit of the one vault where you find Fawkes - can't remember the name. However, that was canceled out by the sheer horribleness of the cave full of kids. Fallout 3 is not survival horror.

I agree. In theory, I love games that don't really "end", but in practice, I never really play them after the "ending." I might make a few half-hearted attempts, but it's just not the same. Of course, I'm the kind of person who loves to explore and puts off the main quest until I'm a level 20...

Boobs.

I hope they have more than 4 voice actors this game. If I have to hear the same goddamn Crotchety Old Man voice from 80 different people I'm going to start cracking skulls.

I don't see anything wrong with this. Are we forgetting the amazing amount of blood and gore in FO1/FO2? Or are we pretending the Bloody Mess perk never existed?

Thanks, that does indeed work (so far)! :clap:

I can't seem to get 2.41 installed properly. I'm starting from scratch - I didn't even have Fallout 2 installed on this hard drive. Fallout 2 vanilla works, i.e. I can create a new character and save my game. Megamod 2.35.2, I can create a new character and save my game. Ditto for Megamod 2.4...

http://www.slate.com/id/2235504/ Very interesting article, although I think it's a little unnecessary. It wouldn't take long for a nuclear waste site to become a Glow-like harbinger of doom for all the societies around it. Even if our distant descendants are primitive, they should still be...

Not enough greasy chest hair. 6/10
