Eh...talking Deathclaws bothers me not at all, considering up to two lived through the previous FO's and could possibly breed with other deathclaws. You're right with everything else though, they did the same thing with Katanas, and weapons and a lot of the little crap that has happened in...

I guess it depends on the game, I love the achievements in Portal, because it gives me more incentive to go back in and do things a little differently or quicker. Though really, I'm playing through Portals new map pack at the moment which is fun as hell. As for games I'm currently...

Glad to hear the Stealth system in Fallout 3 is going to be improved over Oblivion. I had a number of stealth based characters in Oblivion, and it was a pain in the ass to really excel with it. I ended up finding a mod that added different degrees and allowed to re-entering stealth if you got...

When I ran DnD campaigns, my friends tended to get pissed over the long run because they would spend so much time in between level 4-10, and then I would usually find a way to wrap it up at that point. I think level 5-6 were my favorite levels in that game...and I kept the characters in that...

I have a somewhat low opinion of console gaming, so all I can say is wow. I guess I find it hard to imagine how they could have gutted it so badly. I think the last edition I bought was 3, and that seemed pretty good, considering how I felt about D&D overall. I don't see a problem with them...

I loved "On The Beach". We agree on that too. :) I'll give that a shot, thats one of the things I wish they had gotten more into in American Gods, digging a little deeper. I read Discworld and didn't mind that one too much...not sure what the disconnect is, but Good Omens just didn't...

I don't think 3rd person Isometric means RPG! You can have an RPG in other formats. Many people here may not like Oblivion, but Arena, Daggerfall and Morrowind were all RPG's in the first person, just to name 3 from Bethsoft alone. To me, First Person, 3rd Isometric...whatever else, doesn't...

I ended up giving up D&D a long time ago for the White Wolf series. White Wolf not that long ago re-invented it's World of Darkness books from the ground up which I'm really enjoying(though I can't find anyone less than an hour away running a game(anyone have a good site for finding games?))...

American Gods was an excellent book...loved every bit of it. Just wish that "Good Omens" wasn't so silly...not a big fan of the silly.

Based on a link I found at this site that got to a Post Apoc Media site, I just ended up ordering these books about 30 minutes ago... The Last Ship Wolf and Iron A Canticle for Leibowitz The Postman Alas, Babylon Darkness and Dawn Armageddons Eternity Road Wasteland: Stories of the...

Bethesda did get kicked in the nuts with Oblivion because people were able to mod the clothes off the models and "create" nudity that was actually locked out in the retail game. So who knows...maybe they will wait a little while until after the game is out, so the ratings board sticks with...

I found Oblivion much more enjoyable with the compass off, and no additional help. It caused me to explore more, and in doing so, run into more interesting places/encounters. It's all in how you look at it, and people see it in different ways.

Maybe I should re-phrase what I said... If someone wants to bitch at me for saying the compass can be modded, fine, I could care less. If someone was bitching at me because I said we should mod all facial and combat animations which is much larger project, then I could see the point. But...

I appreciate the backup Jesuit, but let them rag on...apparently there is only one way for them to un-twist their panties. some people wonder why there are thorns on roses, others smile because someone put roses among the thorns. It's just two different ways of looking at things. Normally...

did he put his fist through someones face at around 50 seconds in...is that what the F i just saw? As an Edit, I really liked Green Street Hooligans, so this should be interesting.

Well, in System Shock and it's successors, they did use audio/video logs...I don't see why you can't have those in this game too. If Pipboy's/PDA's are semi-common, I wouldn't see why you couldn't end up culling a lot of information from various people you interact with/kill. That could be a...

The compass was moddable in Oblivion, it will be moddable in Fallout 3. Maybe the Pipboy is going to work like a cell phone, in that you can be in and out of range of certain broadcast towers, where occasionally you get close enough to someone actually broadcasting something and your Pipboy...

there were mods to disable the quest compass in Oblivion about 2 days after the game came out, I wouldn't worry about that. The quest system allowing you to select a particular quest to focus on was nice though since it gave you all the info on that Active Quest page about the quest that...

Don't get me wrong, I think Blizzard is doing it correctly... But thats a seperate issue from being secretive though, at least to me. Blizzard has an information lockdown...which is impressive to say the least considering they were locking down two of the most sought after games on the...

When they dumped Starcraft II and Diablo III on the gaming public, they by and large already had VERY playable builds of the game up and running, with screen-shots and videos...but not a single word got leaked beforehand. Thats pretty secretive when you can keep Starcraft II and Diablo III...
