Only if you're playing the 360 version. At first I thought achievements gave out experience (and got pissed) but it turns out he completed the grand quest of "walk out vault." You mean the 5 or 6 NPC's that actually had voice acting segments? I'm just glad the NPC's talk to each other...

You explained what? The science behind the degradation of a door? Seriously? Please explain it to me because I'm eager to learn from a certified scientist how a wooden door would completely rot to dust and the hinges rust off in a dry, arid location with close to zero rainfall. I can't...

Thanks, I'll check them out. Fo1 worked on my old computer with Win XP but it hates this new one. I think it's stupid too but when I play this game at PAX tomorrow I'll try my hardest to find a cave and ease your fears (or I'll ask one of the guys at the booth). It'd be all sorts of...

The area obviously wasn't bombed. Radiation spreads dozens of miles but if a bomb was dropped even in the remote vicinity the house wouldn't even be standing. Actually, I agree. Both by the repetitive damage structures and because there's a hole blown in the side of the wall. Did the...

You ever been to a suburb before? The suburban boom started in the 50s and early 60s. Seems pretty accurate to me given the inspiration of the game. I saw very little "recycled" buildings in Megaton and the rest of the world.

The vaults were built before the war. I assume they were built during the plague/resource war which never had an official date. And why would raiders build a run down partially destroyed shack over a manhole covering?

Vault 15 was built underneath a shack that managed to survive 200 years.

It was probably built when the Vault was built to keep the weather from clogging the gears in the main vault door. Every vault in previous Fo games had their main door underground and a small building or tunnel leading up to them.

The game reminds me of a mix of Deus Ex and BioShock which, while not Fallout, is a nice combination. It looks FUN. Weapons building, a world that looks interesting, it's story based so I can sense it being less boring than Oblivion, and there's a lot of little minor details like the...

One positive thing I can say about Fallout 3 if anything is the weapon design. All the new weapons like energy guns and mini-nuke launcher or whatever work fine, I can understand that, but any 20th century firearm shouldn't even operate properly. Fallout 3's guns look like they're literally...

Yeah, I think I forgot what we were arguing about so I'm just going to drop it. Well, isn't that guy who composed the music from Fallout Tactics doing the soundtrack for Fallout 3? That's... one person? And Bethesda is apparently doing some sort of "last minute" show/panel at this...

What games, in the past 8 years, has even bothered to simulate a PnP game? Go ahead, I'll wait. There's little interest in PnP "simulation." If you want to play a PnP game then go buy a core book but computers game haven't and most likely never will reach anywhere close to what a PnP game...

I honestly can't think of a single game that had a hunger clock that wasn't stupid. Roguelikes generally have them but you get hungry literally after 10 minutes. There's a stat called "corpses eaten" and I'd love to see what karmic backlash you'll get for being a cannibal. Maybe you'll get a...

Maybe it's my old age speaking but it's very ironic to watch different generations of "fans" come and go because pretty much every argument against Fallout 3 was also levied at the original Fallout in regards to Wasteland. I remember the early days of the internet and Usenet groups abuzz with...

Fair enough but I think there should still be some sort of reward for choosing a certain path and only that path. Pretty much every RPG lets you load an old save to choose a different option that nets the player the largest reward when the rewards themselves should be unique to the character...

To be fair, it all leads to the same thing. Anything offensive you say might anger the NPC and anything good/neutral you say will lead to another bit of dialog. Unless a game has a deep relationship system where individual points are recorded based on the exact responses you give (like in...

You can blame that on the extremists for both sides. The most vocal anti-Fallout 3 fanboys always point out that the game can't be "fallout" without being turn based and isometric and the most vocal pro-Fallout 3 fanboys ride on Bethesda's coattails. In a perfect world, gamers wouldn't have a...
