Sander: Of course, CRPG's are not about combat, but realistic portrayal of combat and its effects will shape the reality in the RPG world. Congrats, Sarcastro, you have just arrived at how the military role-plays. With regards to cancer and aging, none of players characters would live that...

Sander, every CRPG I've seen has a tactical band. What else do you consider a party of about six adventurers armed and equipped to crawl through whatever the game master throws at them in ANY role-playing game. Name one RPG where combat takes a third to role play and puzzle solving? But I agree...

Hmmm, in the ***REAL*** world 50 Caliber machine guns can puch through brick walls and hurt people, not to mention Vietnam War era armored personnel carriers and things that would provide cover from small arms. But we won't go there. FT Combat system had its strong points, including the lstrong...

Best Fallout weapons of all times - Gauss pistol; Gauss Rifle; Gauss Gatling gun.

The most overlooked weapons in the Fallout universe would have to be: 1-Modern hunting bow, 2-Blowgun and poison darts

Sander, It's not the disagreeing, it's the expletives. Today's countersnipers have rifles with a flat bullet trajectory of 750 yards (SR-15 or SR-25 US I don't remember which tis was a while ago) and 50 caliber sniper weapons guided by computer that have effective range of 2500 yards and can...

Yeah, the shotgun shells. Valid criticism for the game. Would have been eliminated bya game engine. Not familiar at all with GURPS. Aftermath! had talents and stats generation similar to SPECIAL (will have to look at it).

Seen Blood of Heroes, Loved Escape From New York, Mad Max was positively spiritual. Fell in love with a little low budget flick, Hell Comes to Frogtown. Check it out if you hadn't, you might like it. Another little known, but creepy post apocalyptic movie is Defcon4. See that one, it has an...

In 2001 or 2002 I finished BG and asked the salesperson at the Electronic boutique for another good RPG on computer. He gave me the original Fallout.

Fallout was at least in part based on the Aftermath! pencil and paper ruleset. See for yourself, except that Aftermath! Was grittily realistic in terms of the way action, skills and weapons were modeled in the game rules. I think that Fallout greatly simplified those rules for the sake of art...

Sender, I am talking about the quality of the ride., and I was NOT comparing BG to the Fallout. As it is, I enjoyed Fallout ONE more than Fallout TWO and Fallout Tactics more than Fallout TWO. You know why? Becuase there was no conflict and there was no push in the Fallout two. You explored at...

I realize that game companies have small staffs and even smaller budgets, hence no BG3 and no F3 as of yet (they have no faith in marketability of those CRPGs to wide public). Read my posts again, I broke away from randomizing, but using REAL topographic data for terrain and floorplans in...

Sender - Fallout storyline is simpler than in BG2, I really had little idea of what was going on until the very end, and BG2 had some awesome characters and storylines (i.e. Bodhi, the love of my life) the thieves guild was realistically done and a lot of BG2 reflected on the modern world. The...

You just need to get the existing survey data, already digitized, and translate it into Fallout format for a maore challenging and realistic gaming experience. Why don't you take a look at the professional geodesic software on the market today. Besides,, those design team members get paid by the...

OK, I am not a computer programmer, BUT. Have artists draw 100+ different buildings/floors, use floor plans from the 1950's. Have a list of shades and finishes of the type used in the 50's US Southwest - brick, adobe, whatever. Do the same for topographic features. Organize the type of buildings...

Wooz, I don't know what Morrowwind is. Fallout 2 used some randomly generated elements. Sander, just because it hadn't been invented yet, does not mean that it is not feasible. Descent wilderness modding is tough even in a pencil and paper session, but it's not impossible. In the Fallout 1 and...

I am NOT asking for a new engine, Just realism in a place buked back to stoneage, where knowledge would be at a premium. Why anyone wouldn't slap together a new story using an existing engine, is beyond me, given the demand. I would spend a few hundred bucks on a new CRPG in the vein of Fallout...

Sarcastro, BG2 does not have randomly generated maps, just the size of the game with all of its subquetss and side quests, if you add the throne of Bhaal. If you ever tried moving cross country, you get the sense of place and the unknown, even on a patrol where you have a pretty good idea of...

Hello everyone! I am a big fan of the Fallout and of the CRPG's in general, prefering them to the whining of the munchkins and roll players around the proverbial table. Can't wait for Fallout 3 but am fearing it will be a different game. Arcanum waa disappointment since the design team fell all...

Not really, landscape can be in part randomly generated filling in the blanks, with the AI generating the look around. What you get in return is the feeling of looking for a needle in the haystack whe looking for soemthing in a wasteland and also, a better feeling for the world to explore...
