Blizzard sure does. You - not so much.

Remind me, how much did the PA in Fallout reduce the player's Agility and Action Points again? Agility-based skills maybe?

Oh, bullshit. Unless you're spoiling the one major plot twist in the game, there will be no adverse reactions. Quite the opposite, small pieces of non-trivial information - i.e. spoilers - can greatly increase interest in the game, provided the information is interesting. If your game is cliché...

It might have been more sensible to emphasize the aspects of them being living creatures, however. Even though the ghouls had a zombie-ish look, that doesn't mean a generic zombie equals "getting the look right" at all. I disagree. It's post-nuclear. The similarity ends there. I was asking...

Which ones are you talking about? Not Morrowind or Oblivion, that's for sure.

Right. Because glossy always looks better. I am amazed that so many people complain about the graphics, but I guess this isn't a Spiderweb fan forum.

Well, it is Bethout so that goes without saying.

To me, VATS just looks like extended Bullet Time. And why does he keep calling it a "hybrid" combat system?

I just found this on digg, and even without Rosh's timely return it would've reminded me of our situation, although the return of the deathclaw put an emphasis on irate: Although I'm not really optimistic that we'll prevail, the Moronrail seems unstoppable. We can hope to endure, though.

That was a fantastic preview. I wish all previews were more like this, just as I wish more games were like Fallout. Alas.. I'm not sure whether I'm envious or relieved that I didn't watch this demo. It sounds pretty bad from my perspective.

Define many and prove that statement.

I know I'm really too late, but.. No it doesn't, and more likely you'll end up finding nukes in the right place for boss fights, much like rockets in Half-Life 2. Not an example of Fallout humor. I'm sure there's a great audible quality I am missing out on. They said basically the same...

Yeah, what an improvement. Thank deity there were monstrous criticals to balance, though.

Well, if you're gonna use an argument a simple as that, I'll simply say that it shouldn't. Of course the Adv. PA was seriously overpowered in that regard, but normal PA only has 30% radiation resistance. It's funny you bring this up after I rejected this concept. Deathclaws and even mutants...

PA never offered immunity against radiation. If it does in FO3, that's exactly the kind of bad design I was talking about. Besides, see what someone said about Oblivion. Apparently there was a large area outside the designated playing area. So.. this time they could simply make that area...

That's only true if you presuppose bad design. How about areas of extremely high radiation? You could easily design this so that any character drops dead eventually, provided they don't cheat. If they are willing to cheat, there is nothing wrong with providing an invisible wall that stops them...

They are still a military order, with at least superficial similarity to medieval knightly orders. To most people, a knight is an armoured warrior, not a vassal to a medieval liege. Besides, I don't think the concept of feudalism is so relevant to a medieval military order. You just need a new...

Well, they are, aren't they? They sure look like a modern military order, with paladins in shiny armour and scribes wearing robes. Knights and monks. Alright, we're dubious about their presence in DC, but he's just stating what we already know, and giving a sufficiently accurate description of...

Probably not for the right reason which would be that it's been said a thousand times before. Why bother?

Radioactive doesn't equal explosive. Arguments like this are why your opinion is disregarded. War changes fall '08. :salute:
