Classic all the way!

I like any RPG if done well. And I appreciate the fact that we are seeing more variety than the typical D&D settings.

You mean like the way Pete is 'paying' Vault Boy in your sig?

Maybe somebody should mod in a Bethesda Clan for VtMB. :twisted:

Haha. Too true. Except I play in third person all the time - the trick is to zoom in enough on your character that you can't see his feet touch the ground (to nullify the ice skating effect) and to only attack from VATS (as attacking in third person real time can be an exercise in frustration).

I wish Bethesda would follow more of a philosophy like Blizzard and release their products when they're done rather than rush to meet a deadline projected by PR to be optimal.

True. But at least with MMORPGs you have other people to 'show off' to (if that's your thing). It is silly to have that in a single player game. It gets real old real quick. I guess that is where 'achievements' and 'trophies' come in. More ways to show off to other gamers. :roll: I...

QFT :clap: I have to go back and play the classics like Wasteland, Fallout 1, and Arcanum to experience what you say. In those games the 'phat loot' fit right in with the story and wasn't the main focus of the adventure. The Howitzer in Wasteland, Sniper Rifle or Minigun in Fallout 1, and...

[roll eyes] Wait a minute - Penalties? The masses don't like too much of that stuff floating around their games. I mean the Power Armor penalty is bad enough for some of them! Why do they want Samurai Armor if it just has 'stoopid penalties made by stoopid humans haha'. They want 'kewl...

Achievements (or Trophies on the PS3) are really just another Pokemon phenom (gotta catch 'em all!). Grinding ones are silly, but it was a little funny to see the "Keys are for Cowards" Trophy pop up during Fallout 3 when I picked my 50th lock...

It is sad but it kinda makes sense when they try to pander to the Least Common Denominator. :|

Which one is the super hero??

I just found this quest recently (must have missed it / ignored it) in my original playthrough. The idea is good -> distress call from Vault 101 childhood friend, but I agree with people that say the end result is pretty much the same regardless of how you complete the quest. I wanted to try...

Very well said. :clap: I was thinking about the overall theme of Fallout 1 and the idea that humanity had actually destroyed 99% of civilization, and the potential hopeless feeling that would bring; the lawless struggle to rebuild in a shattered and radiated environment; the brilliant...

This expansion could be good if they put some time and effort into joining with the Fallout Universe in some way. The weight of the social conflict on earth building up to annihilation - perhaps the aliens could lend insight or information that fills in even more of the backstory to pre-war...

Okay. First, I believe it has already been firmly established that your 'madz twitchz skillz' will 'pwn' in real time. No matter what the stats say, your twitch ability can get the job done on its own. This puts the combat firmly in the realm of 'action' rather than 'rpg'. So I am saying to...

Have you tried playing combat with VATS exclusively? I play on the hardest setting and I don't attack unless I use VATS. I think you'll find 'mowing supermutants down routinely' may be a bit harder with a 30% weapon skill, as you'll miss more often and do less damage when you hit, while your...

Fixed.

I don't think Fallout 3 is a great RPG by any stretch, but I do think it is a nice shell of a game - which is par for the course from Bethesda. If the combat was a solid turn-based system, it could have near infinite potential with the GECK. I'm hoping to see varied stories and interesting...

Oh. I thought it was a hiking simulator. :shock:
