I think level 20 is an OK level cap. The best game I have played was Baldur's Gate 1. Originally, it only had level cap of 6 or 7, I think. Then its expansion raised it to maybe level 8 or 9. It was not the level cap that got me hooked in BG1, it was the story, the gameplay and the depth of the...

I'm still confused about the whole VATS thing. Matt Miller said something in the GI interview that could be interpreted along the line of 'this is just the usual FPS combat, you can just pause the combat and get an aimed or called shot in shooting your enemy or the monsters.' In the GI...

I admit that VATS may look like it is Realtime with Pause, but to me clearly, it isn't. If it were RTwP, you would be able to pause the game and issue orders to your companions, just like In Baldur's Gate, NWN etc.... With the whole TB thing, I just meant that they (bethsoft) have found a...

You just don't see cars like that anymore, now, do you.... Back in the 1950's, they knew how to make cars...that looked good and sailed the (road)Highways... And yes, it is a rusted over Highwayman. It could, therefore, be interesting to see a misc, quest in FO3, maybe to find a 1957's car...

I don't think any of us really why Beth wanted to buy first the licence and then the IP :roll: :?: if & when they only wanted to make a generic post apoc game in the first place ? Maybe they wanted to use the Vaults, the Vault Jump Suit(?) and and some of the art assets in their own...

I don't think the console kiddies (as you call them) will be very happy with Fallout 3.... The FPS crowd (as I call them ;) ) will be very confused, I think, when it comes to making choices, and they, at a later time (maybe?) experience some consequence of these choices. The FPS crowd will...

Here's a wiki article on Shadowrun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowrun_(2007_video_game) It mentions that the game got poor reviews but was applauded for its gameplay. Here's a Shadowrun fansite http://www.shadowrunrpg.com/ If I were a Shadowrun fan, and by that I mean, fan of...

Nice read - in both senses of the words :) I'll comment more later --- but I need go sleep now... :zzz: :zzz:

The trouble with Bethsoft VATS combat is it is neither Realtime with pause, TB or Realtime combat. It is sort of a hybrid thingie, meshing and smashing all these kind of combat forms together into one form of combat, which Bethsoft probably thinks that everyone will be pleased to play. I can...

On the question on how old Todd Howard is, here's a snippet from wiki about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Howard Apparently, he graduated from College in 1994(?) and then immediately joined Bethesda Game Studios. And that would mean he's been there for 13-14 years. You're...

I know I have been after you guys, and the guys over at D&C, in the past for pnly wanting a sort of rehash of the old Fallout games. [I'm still a bit concerned about this, though]. However, I clearly and distintly remember playing Fallout 1 about 7 or 8 years ago, I think, and I was into the...

I'm sorry, but the new Sam n Max adventure game (series) still has the cartoony look that the original game has as well as the wacky humorous jokes and stuff. From the screenshots etc. in the GI article the fallout feel seems gone. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what the Fallout feel it...

As long as we are talking adventure games here, let me say this: The PnP interface in Broken Sword 4 was not that good, you could either use the mouse or the keys to move your character around in the game world; both choices were really horrendous ones, imo. Apart from that not all dialoque...

I have read the article, seen the scans and read all 16 pages of this very long thread 8) :wink: :) :shock: My impression is that the overall feel in FO3 is that of STALKER, I can't quite say why I have this feeling or hunch, but I have I don't mind Bethesda doing a game like STALKER...

I just happen to think that Bethsoft needs D&C and NMA as base for their FO game(s) as this will provide Bethsoft with a base fanbase for these game on which to build for sales to other segments in the market.

I interpret this as it is not allowed to scan the article and show the scanned pages in a thread at Bethsoft's forums. or maybe not. I don't get why Bethsoft is so upset over what other people at other sites like NMA are doing. It is NOT their responsibility what is on at NMA or what NMA...

I can understand why Hollowood wants to make a (new) re-make of thos movie - to earn (big) bucks. What I don't understand is why is has to be a [censored] action movie?? As I understand it, the book is about survivalism, horror etc. --- not a about fighting through a horde of vampires...

Than you very much, DarkLegacy --- this saved me reading the article :wink: Now, if you just would use these skills to my soon to be bachelor paper --- ;) --- then --- oh, wait --- such a paper has to suffer rom logohorrea

I have only read the official thread lighty as in skimmed it very briefly, but as far as I can tell, the discussion is being conducted in a very civil and pleasant way. As for the deeper discussions of RT/TB topics or issues, I still think they can be conducted in the official thread. My...

I tried the demo. I liked the graphics and the visual side of it. But for some odd reason the controls are just as bad - or worse ? - than the first one. They still managed to maintan the stupid :wall: interface where you have to do totally illogical steps to get to your inventory og even...
