Okay so, Final Fantasy: Linear, has pre-programed character development, but is considered an RPG because it has true stat based gameplay. However, unlike what you said you -can- just *pew *pew through it, since that's the only way to level up. Fallout 3: Somewhat linear in the main quest...

Sounds like right outside the Capitol Building - would that be the place?

It's a god given choice. Yes, I understand that not everyone is a modder ( I tried - never found the full ambition to do so because games are secondary in my life now) but I'm just curious on if any group has tried to take some of these trivial complaints - lack of farms, too few escorts for...

Now the question is.. Final Fantasy: WHERE DOES IT STAND? Probably not with Fallout of course!

So the passionate thing to do is complain rather than to try fixing things? Has the Compendium mod(Forgive spelling - can't recall the correct spelling for that word off the top of my head) doing anything to fix the "trivial" things or are too many people spending too much time complaining...

True, but you don't need to look at yourself to see how you develop. To keep with the actor metaphor, another way to check development is to see how others react. In truth, Fallout 1 and 2 both could use First person if someone decided to try it now. Couldn't use Fallout 3's engine of course, or...

Someone should seriously start a drinking game when it comes to people mentioning the lack of farms. Does everyone ignore the fact that one of the the original reasons you became the chosen one in Fallout 2 was crop failure? and... no traders? *looks a few posts back* Yes, sure. We'll go with...

...This coming from the person who says "if you want the game to be better, constructive criticism is what you need to do and such flaws need to be pointed out and removed." Nice constructive critisism :)

Funnily enough, Fallout 3 feels more like an "Isolated Wasteland" than Fallout 1 and 2 did.

"Previous games" is only good for overall history though... What, because the West is massively developed the rest of the world should be too? East Coast can be underdeveloped. After all, because we have skyscrappers in New York City, does that mean there's those in every city? Nope. And also...

Sure, why not? Sounds absurd, but roleplaying is what, playing the role of someone else? Sure, in some twisted way you could consider Halo being you playing the role of MasterChief John 117. Whatever. Not the point of 1st person RPG vs. 3rd thread :) neither have many of my posts,actually. I...

Personally I think it isn't a problem of first or third perspective, it's how the world around you is built and how you fit into it. Fallout 1, 2, and 3 suffer from the latter. The world doesn't really move, change, develop or anything unless you make it do so. Either way, first person or third...

I think the Midwestern Armor is the step between T-51b and the advanced Power Armor in Fallout 2. Honestly, the midwestern helmet reminded me of Frank Horrigan's a bit. I think a lot of the design for the armor in Fallout 3 comes from not having a clear image of the one in Fallout 2 and trying...

... your character's backstory provides that you know the "basics" weather by trying to survive in a village or learning through Vault-tec brand education. It always felt to me that your skills in-game are more like advanced training. After all, that's how it always seems to be portrayed. How...

The conditions of the world are like that of the midwest dustbowl now with less rain. Farming is a terrible thing to rely on anyways. Unless you have the right seeds and know what you're doing, farming would fail miserably. If you want an example, then fine: Fallout 2. Arroyo. You're own tribe...

To me, Roleplaying is creating your character and developing it throughout a story. At least, in the Fallout games it is. After all, there is no "someone else" provided outside the original past. You're the brain of any character you create, so why shouldn't you be allowed to use your own...

Wouldn't having more ability to use player skill over character skill allow more roleplaying? The more it's based off character skills, the more you're roleplaying a diety of the universe that is pulling the string off its favorite puppet. The more it's based off player skills, you're more of...

Again, at least one terminal in the game has said that farming has existed in the area. They fell victim to Raiders or Slavers or whatever. Its up near Canterburry Commons in fact. Why OTHERS don't have farming is a mystery, sure. Also, there's the Canterburry Commons trade between towns too...

Aye. Considering it is a sci-fi universe based off 1950s thinking though, the Nukes are subject to that as well. Nothing says they arent't something new that's yet to be designed in our own history.

...you could do that in Fallout 1 and 2 as well. It cost AP to do so, but whatever. Never made much sense anyways.
