Part of the problem with the back-story is why they'd go to Washington D.C. It doesn't fit with the way the BoS operates. The BoS, by the Fallout 2 period, was really rather weak and under manned. Most of their bases were sparsely populated. It's unlikely that they'd risk some of the few...

Except, of course, for child killing, or any other content deemed to be "too mature" for a game nowadays. Because, you know, certainly in a world as rough as the one of Fallout, you'd never have people who'd be psychotic enough to kill children...

I rather agree with DarkPhilly that having a game start out with a player who leaves "just to explore," rather than being sent off to "save the Vault/Village" would be a good idea. People leave home for reasons other than heorism. You also might consider giving the player starting motives...

Isn't this the second person they've covered who's from central Pennsylvania? I find that odd. I'm from central PA myself, and I rarely ever run into anyone from central PA when I'm outside of the area.

Yeah. It reminds me of what I've heard about being able to "contract Malaria" in Far Cry 2. I'll have to wait to see, but it sounds like it might just be more of a pain in the behind than something that adds "fun" to the game. Personally, I'll base my decision on whether or not to buy it...

I think this game looks cool. Definitely something I could play. My memory is too shoddy to recall whether or not this has been discussed in much detail, but any word on what the "back story" is going to be? (For example, will it be set in "our" future, or in the future of a parallel...

Agreed. Also, recycling outside air, in my opinion, would fit a little better with how we know Vault 13 operated - taking resources from outside the vault (water from an underground river) and using tech to filter them into something usable. I was going to mention in my earlier post that...

They're not, though. I found the following from the Vault 13 entry at The Vault. If memory serves, this particular information is based on a data disk that you can pick up in the Hub: So - Vault 13 used geothermal energy for power. And, it got its water from an underground river. You had...

I love the Fallout manual. They really don't make manuals like that any more. A few other good ones: The manual that came with Wing Commander I, which was in the form of a "Claw Marks" magazine. Also, a few of the old Space Quest adventure games had manuals that were presented in the form...

Here's what I'm curious about: Did the author of the article know? I've never written for a magazine, not even as a freelancer, so I don't know how it works. But, don't most magazines have someone seperate who comes up with the artwork? How much control does the author normally have over...

I got my copy of GFW a few days ago. I wondered when a post on this article was going to go up. The article itself had some "bad" spots, yes, but, all things being considered, I didn't think it was completely horrible. The artwork for the article, however, was incredibly insulting. Not...

Interesting that Mr. Handy is nuclear powered. I seem to recall shooting at a malfunctioning Mr. Handy in Klamouth, without causing any kind of "nuclear detonation."

Re: ahhh It's in the works: http://pc.ign.com/articles/789/789321p1.html Whether or not they'll screw it up, I have no idea. As for Fallout 3, I've pretty much given up on the idea of having a game that's along the lines of what I've been looking forward to all of these years. At...

If he's willing to sell just a few more copies, I'm sure I'd be able to scrape together the cash to buy one, especially if it's not going to be available in general any more. I don't mind a lack of support. As long as the game runs, and I can finish it, I should be happy. I kinda wish...

Crap. I thought the demo was rather interesting. The only reason I hadn't purchased a copy was because I have fairly limited funds right now (am unemployed) and was planning on asking for it as a Christmas gift. Too late now, I guess.

Emulators, man! I admit that perhaps it will be a bit more complicated to create emulators capable of running the games that are being released today, but, given enough time, I have little doubt that someone, somewhere, will figure out how to do it. I thought I'd never get to play Privateer...

I haven't purchased any games like this yet, but could someone explain something to me: What happens 10-15 years from now, if 2k Games goes out of business? I imagine there would no longer be any kind of process in existence for "verifying" the game. Or, what if 2k just decides, after 10 or 15...

Uh huh. I love Deus Ex. But, when I play it, it feels less like an "RPG" to me and more like an FPS with elements of an RPG welded on. That can be fun. But, it's not the type of fun I associate with playing Fallout. There are already enough real time combat games out there. Many of...

So... You're saying that if we see elements of the game that we have concerns about, it's better to keep our mouths shut, and wait until nothing can be done about them? A number of people have said that Bethesda developers come onto these forums to both look at reactions and to gleam ideas...

Maybe a plasma rocket launcher could have been created before the war? If we wanted to explain it, we could say that production of such heavy plasma weapons only started right before the bombs fell. Therefore, there are very few plasma rocket launchers out there - but you can find one if...
