    favorite fallout 2 moment?

    as many of you know i have had issues w/ Fallout 1 and 2 and had to restart several times, however my favorite moment of fallout 2, so far, has to be the first time you meet the Enclave in the gecko power plant! i had just barely seen "They Live" so i got the reference to the movie line in the...

    why are almost all current physical pc games steam/origin installs?

    both, i have no debit/credit card, so would have to buy a gift card. and i also feel strongly about the DRM thing.

    why are almost all current physical pc games steam/origin installs?

    i joined earlier this year, apparently i have to have a steam wallet w/ money in it or have purchased a game on steam (not via disc cd key) in order to be a full member, as a limited member, you cannot use trading cards, or add friends to your friends list or use any steam community features. if...

    btw, this all the way! my friend sent it to me, and i totally agree! if you have bought a game on disc/cartridge/etc, physically, you should NOT be DRM restricted in any way! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfZv_lPwBFI

    why are almost all current physical pc games steam/origin installs?

    that is good, at least. i tried running terraria's exe file from the folder it loaded the folder it is in, it loads the steam community when playing it. and you have to have steam, i wanted to test it, and zipped the terraria folder and sent it to my friend who has steam on his pc, even though...

    why are almost all current physical pc games steam/origin installs?

    that is true but isnt exactly the same, you have to login to a friend's pc to do this, or have 1 pc w/ multiple people that use steam on that pc. it doesnt work well when your friend may move away or isnt in your neighborhood.

    why are almost all current physical pc games steam/origin installs?

    even though 1-T is on steam, you cant access the steam community within the games. only 3 and NV allow steam community access. but even so, you still need steam to launch the games.

    why are almost all current physical pc games steam/origin installs?

    still, physical version of legend of zelda ocarina of time current value is $60 used and can be loaned to friends. where as, fallout 1-NV all had releases pre-steam, on disc, and i could buy those online somewhere. but they would be hard to find.

    why are almost all current physical pc games steam/origin installs?

    not completely, it is more made for family use w/ 1 pc in the household and multiple users using that pc. you log into steam and pick who you want to share your library with, however you cannot share games w/ your friends, this way. when you are playing one of these games, i believe anyone who...

    why are almost all current physical pc games steam/origin installs?

    nm the fact that the games are pretty much worthless to anyone except for me, yet we all know how valuable console games can become. they are DRM free cuz they require a console to play them, nm the fact a lot of them have disc images burned and emulators and whatnot for pc, nope. they are...

    why are almost all current physical pc games steam/origin installs?

    i dont like it, why am i being forced into using a steam or origin install for a game on disc? why do i have to have said programs up and running on my pc for the game to run? my task manager states that steam uses heavy system resourses. even though i have enough ram that it doesnt cause too...

    new to Fallout Tactics, still in first map of the game.

    i did notice the cursor is a little different, and not everthing is lootable as well. i well check inventory and bodies again for keys.

    having issues with factions now.

    in reference to fallout 3 and what could have been done with factions if they had added it in that game, i imagine megaton had lots of ways to like you or hate you. like i assume that if you had disarmed the bomb, the town would like you, whereas if you decided to side with moriarty and kill the...
