Dunno, I don't really deal in that currency. But I understand that it seems to exist for other gamers. To me immersion is broken immediatly after I see a health bar, armor and ammo count floating around the screen. But if 'you' accept that immersion exists in the non-combat form of the game...

If you play in real time there is less of a break from the real time conversations and looking about. So if you accept the non-combat as being immersive then you'd have to accept FPS combat being more immersive than TB. Where as if you accept the immersion level running about and clicking in...

A note on P&P rpg and choice/consequence...I played in a good number of P&P games in my younger years and one thing rang true, no matter what 'you' wanted to do, you were bound by the whim of the GM/DM. If he wanted you to go to that damned evil looking dark castle, then every god damned path...

Wouldn't that be confirming that the question raised is one that has been thought about and addressed by BS? One way of making it more approachable is that you don't have to have previous FO knowledge to play FO3.

I guess I might be wrong but I though the bomb dropped 200 years ago, so if the town was built up over time then you'd have families, community etc...other wise people would have died off with out offspring and the population would have dwindled and died.

Um, okay what about the rest of the post though? That was a psuedo random example of people in a situation that if they were willing to sacrifice some aspect of their lifestyle they could choose to change the bigger picture of their lives.

What does that have to do with that? I thought the question I was answering is why do the non cultists stay in Megaton?

Why do people stay in countries controlled by madmen, or ones that are wracked with starvation, why do people return to New Orleans? People are stupid and feel helpless to change their environment. Do I stay in a relatively safe environment with a bunch of nutjobs or do I take my chances on my...

But religious idiots have been present since the begining of time, why would a similar universe change that? I'd have figured you'd have read more fiction BN. There are plenty of stories where people have been inclined to join cultlike environments just to survive or maintain human contact...

Why is the religion side of this so hard to believe?

Perhaps the bomb did bury itself and they excavated the area around in order to be able to behold the divine relic...? Yeah that's a stretch, but I think all in all it fits under "hey this'd be cool" type of writing, which really doesn't bother me...

Hmm, how about artistic lisence then...?

But that's the whole point, that one didn't explode and that's why it was sent from God as a sign... Many costal cities are build on sand, and they stay just fine but hit them with a huge impace and then see how they feel...

If the spot were soft enough, such as sand, then you would have displacement to create a crater. Just look at the moon. No explosions just impact effects. Yes the craters on the moon are exaggerated due to less gravity but the effect is the same. And overly stressed individuals looking at...

Much like in the Resident Evil movies, not once do they refer to the infected as zombies, even though they are most definitly that...

As someone looking forward to FO3 I found the new video to be kinda lame. Felt like they were trying too hard to make something that it failed at. Way too much chopping in of the "Please stand by" logo...

The more I read about what was wrong with FO2, the more I think that some of you simply won't be happy unless it's JUST LIKE FO1. I know that is an exaguration but still. It seems that anything that people who like FO in the past and still think FO3 will be fun, bring to the table, you all are...

Okay, okay maybe I mis-spoke on that. I guess what I meant to say is that I doubt that FO3 will be considered a failure, financially. But I've been wrong once or twice before, maybe...;)

There is pretty much no way that Beth can lose money on this one.
