My apologies, then. I thought (from what I read here and elsewhere) that Simms dies if you report Burke, and you can't do anything about it. Indeed, it seems like every place I read about this particular choice, it's always reported that Simms dies. Although I admit I've hardly read...

My main problem isn't the lack of emotion on the part of the main character that is described here. As others have pointed out, the player is supposed to decide the main character's emotion in a role playing game. No, no. My main problem here is the fact that it's impossible to intervene...

I think on the first level of the BoS base (I'm not sure) there are two guards in power armor guarding the elevator. One of them is female. If you talk to her, there's a dialogue option for hitting on her. It's been such a long time, so I can't remember exactly - I think it's something along the...

Heh. Lately I've been using Gifted + bruiser a lot. For some reason - perhaps because I'm kind of a big guy in "real life" - I really do like the "bruiser" trait. On my last run through of F2, I had a ST of 9 and an unarmed skill of about 150%. Though my unarmed skill was "only" around...

Fallout 1: 1. The general atmosphere. They did it much better than they did in F2. 2. Talking that raider into letting Sinthia go during the hostage situation in Junk Town. I love to play as CH heavy characters, and that's one of my favorite parts of the game. 3. That major ass...

*sighs* I have a hard decision to make about whether or not to buy this. Parts of this game look like they could be fun for me. Really, they do. Every time I see something that looks fun, though, I think about shit like the hacking mini-games, the real time with pause combat, and now...

I hate that they did this. It doesn't make any sense to me. One of my favorite F1/F2 traits was "bruiser." Will the bruiser trait now be available as a perk? If so, how does it make sense for someone to "become" a bruiser? Seems more like something you should be "born" with. Even...

The Davey Crockett has been discussed in some detail on this site already. Long story short: The Davey Crockett was meant to be a long range weapon, whereas this "nuclear catapault" crap in F3 seems to be used at rather close range. Also, making nuclear explosions a common part of Fallout...

I tend to agree. Major cities on the east coast, aside from Washington D.C.: Baltimore Philadelphia Pittsburgh New York Boston Those are just a few, of course. And, in addittion to the major cities, you have, on the east coast, places of "interest" like Gettysburg, PA, etc, where...

Yeah. Don't drink the glowing water. Sorry... another "in joke," this time a reference to dialogue with a character from the first game. :lol: On a more serious note: I'd be interested in knowing, after you play both games, which one you like more. Like many here, I feel that F1 did...

Or, it's possible this is a reference to Fallout 1 Albert, one of the pre-made player characters available in that game.

I agree. Sadly. But, I agree. Unfortunately, this is a trend that has me worried about Deus Ex 3. The original DX may have been a shooter/RPG hybrid, but it wasn't nearly as shallow as many other games with that model. The second game was very dumbed down, though, and not quite as good in...

I guess theoretically it'd have been possible for one of the Brotherhood members to bring the knowledge of how to make Jet along with him/her. And, then, when they finally get to the East Coast, they remember how much of a killing Jet made out west before production went under - so they break...

I don't want to get too involved in this argument. However, I would like it to be noted that I started buying my PC games from sources other than local game retailers long before the selections at those places went down hill. Nowadays, almost all of my PC games come from Amazon.com. I...

Some of those games might be interesting to play. I actually own a copy of Freespace, but was never really able to get into it. I purchased it during a period where I was actually moving away from playing computer games a bit, though, so that might have something to do with it. FYI - Had...

This news doesn't sound too bad. Hopefully, we'll be able to actually get all of the endings, and not have any "Vault City/Gecko good ending" type situations, where a bug keeps you from being able to achieve them.

Meh. I appreciate it when games like that do get coverage here. But, I have subscriptions to gaming mags that cover shit like that. So, it's not critical. I come here for more in depth Fallout news than I'll get in the mags. Anything else is nice, but really just a bonus. By the way...

If I kill the doctor at the EPA, is there any way for me to free the prisoners he's keeping? He seems like kind of a bastard, and I'd just like to put a bullet in his skull and release the people he's keeping there. I can't seem to find a way to bring down the force field to their jail cell...

Okay, thanks for your help. I'll give that a try. EDIT: Yup. That works. Thanks again for the help.

I'd kill off Tubby and Flick just to get decent armor and items to sell off for money in other locations. That early in the game, the extra advantage means a lot.
