There is also lesson 5: 'Communism' is the worst form of evil that ever existed. I give bethesda that they tried to be more satiric than patriotic, I think, but the way everyone in the wastes is supposed to know what 'communism' was in america's mind like if they were time travelers from the...

Oh man that's right. If only Bethesda followed this philosophy instead of going crazy on pre-war, 'communists' and america... Guess it seemed easier to them. Thanks, Risewild.

I tried to write my impressions in a organized way since I finally gave a small chance to this game, after I borrowed it from a friend. But I can't write about the entire game with clarity it seem, so I will just toss things as they come. First, let's say that this game will always be a...

I knew it. No seriously, all bluff aside, what was this first divergence after WW2? Afraid I forgot since pre-war history would be better unknown, and of no interest, to fallout characters for the most part.

I will be sleeping in 3 hours, while my brain recover from my first and last play of bethesda 3. Anyway, I already know what this is all about. Really...

After a strange try at bethesda 3, using a sort of research field trip excuse to convince myself, I know exactly what Risewild is talking about. But is it really so mind blowing?

The way I am reading procedure Attempted_Theft in DCORPHAN: procedure Attempted_Theft begin variable Inven_Roll; variable Skill_Roll; variable item; variable count; Skill_Roll := roll_vs_skill(self_obj, SKILL_STEAL,STEAL_BONUS); if (is_success(Skill_Roll)) then begin if...

I had a doubt but I just finished the game with Fixt and yes, the cathedral/military base order are still flipped in the mutants ending. It's basically the same ending anyway. As far as I know, there is no difference in doing the order you prefer, just a few dialogs of secondary npc like Rutger...

Just expressing my unpopular opinion, I am long past thinking there is anything to win in talking, don't worry I know I am not convincing, I am not even trying. But, ok then. Bonne appetit. A little dessert: The enclave shoudn't exist. No wait, I said that already. I know, that's it. Fallout 2...

I will always love Chris Avelone for his work on Planescape Torment and Kotor 2. But I am honestly terrible at knowing who wrote what in anything that isn't a book with the author's name on the cover. I played Planescape Torment for years without even knowing Avellone's name, same with Fallout...

Yeah, I read that in Fallout 2 manual for years. If it make sense, or not, isn't the point. The tone, power, possibilities, final vision of Fallout 1 ending get completely nullified if you buy this piece of bad writting quickly putted together for no good reason. If they wanted a tribal start so...

My, I fully agree with all that. Can't agree with all FNV companions being dislikable, I kind of have a soft spot for Veronica, and I like Cassidy's quest in payback mode. But I am no fan of dragging Boone, Arcade, and Raoul around, so I guess I still half agree. The Master is too complex to be...

It's about what I wanted to say, thanks for saving me the trouble. I will add that by watching a marker on a world map, you simply know that your character is spending days on the trail, mostly worrying about lonely survival in the wastes. When something else happen, you get a random encounter...

That's quite mysterious. Fast travel is a saver of productive time alright, but: 1, You still need to hike, litteraly, to the locations the first time. 2, It's still a pure gameplay device with no explanation within the game world, so there you really have to use your imagination or it's just...

Who is everyboby? We haven't met, them and I. And what are these 'modern' Fallout games? Vegas? I see it more like a hommage game rather than a Fallout, but you know, some days I feel the same even about Fallout 2. Tactics? Almost the same, except I didn't find it in me to play it more than...

Interesting, the patience comment. I think that playing Vegas or a similar gameplay require a lot more patience. How else can you navigate in a 3d world in first person view without any traveling device, (horse alike critter, old moppet, even caravans taking you somewhere in a few black screens...

There is always the legion who can point you to their quest, as 'Caesar' would like them to go back to the old ways, the time of his conquest that is. But I don't think you are entirely wrong, personaly. It's just that you nailed it yourself, the white glove, and the other strip's families...

Ha, ha, I can't remember when was the last time I fought my way in the Cathedral and the Military base. Fighting isn't the best approach and before exterminating the Master, you should try speaking with him. If you can go back a little with a earlier save, speak to Nicole at the Boneyard until...

Hm, you are right, I had forgotten about the start map set_global_var(GVAR_LOAD_MAP_INDEX,0) Seem I copied it on my own start map script without given it too much thought, I don't even know if it does something useful in my case, my first map being unaccessible after moving on. Doesn't do...

It's a good question. All I know is that I didn't come across this global variable used that way in scripts I used for models/inspiration so far. I made some maps scripts for towns and random encounters without need of this particular line. To check the map index as a condition, sure, but it's a...
