My home looks nothing like what was described. At one point I thought I had found the discriminator but it only turned out to be my pop-pop screaming racial slurs at the TV.

I'm probably being loose with the definition of the genre. Credible sources have compared the game to DayZ, which in my mind is the same thing as PUBG. Sorry if that's incorrect. I haven't played online games since the days of Halo 3.

Fallout 4 introduced some decent improvements to the series. Disappointingly, these are almost all related to graphics and overall 'game feel'. It's a shame this is what was prioritized for an entry in a franchise previously known for its writing and role playing mechanics. Also worth...

Unfortunately, taking advantage of that narrative space requires something Bethesda's writers don't possess. Creativity. Besides, they're trapped between a rock and a hard place at this point. Piss fans off by rehashing the same tired old factions? Or piss fans off by introducing garbage new...

No problem!

Hmm. Sounds like you might have to unpack that file. A cab is basically like a zip or a rar if you are familiar with either of those formats. Essentially compresses data into a smaller size, but doesn't let you use the file in that state. A program like 7-Zip might be able to deal with that cab...

It's not the dll. Try opening the inf with Notepad and if not that, then the vxd. It should work the same way.

Have you messed with ddraw at all? That's how I always got the older games to run on modern machines. In the game's folder (the one with the actual executable program), there should be a file called "ddraw.ini". If you open that in a text editor like Notepad, it will let you make changes...

Just out of curiosity, what exactly are you trying to accomplish by renaming files on the disc? Is the game already installed? On my Fallout Collection CD, the only files I have are an autorun script, 5 compressed game data files, the Fallout icon, and the setup executable. Setup is obviously...

Nice video Negativity, haven't seen anyone tackle this topic yet. No trailer can quite match the excitement I felt when I first saw New Vegas gameplay. I agree with the sentiment that better marketing often correlates with a sub-par product. When something is true quality, it generally doesn't...

@Gizmojunk You really don't have to lecture me on consequences in RPG design. In fact, there are more bad endings in my game than 'good' ones. By a large margin. Again, I'm only talking about Fallout 3 here, no comparisons to any other games with the exception of Fallout 2, which it is a sequel...

Le Memesters. A tribe of screaming 12 year olds wearing headsets and fedoras who constantly call you a faggot for hardscoping and challenge you to 1v1s. Of course none of them can be killed because we're using Todd Howard rules. Their agricultural society consists of harvesting dew from the...

"Post Terrible Fallout Faction Ideas."

Yeah, you're right. At the end of the day, we're only just outsiders looking in. I have never talked to Todd Howard myself and because of that I can't definitively say for sure why the decisions made on Fallout 3 played out the way they did. All I know is that they didn't please a lot of the...

Everything I've stated strictly applies to Fallout 3 here. It was a different time for the company. I would agree with you about the shape of Bethesda today. Personally, I would call that stupidity but I guess that's up to interpretation.

Fallout (especially New Vegas) was really interesting to me because it was like speculative United States history. I mean, that game's overarching plot is essentially about a post-government society based in Flagstaff, Arizona who sustain themselves through war and conquest, coming into...

Very good point, it does seem like there has been a homogenization when it comes to AAA video game genres. Unfortunately this is what happens when suits and ties call the shots instead of a game's creative director. Every new release has to emulate at least one feature from a title that made its...

I get what you are saying, but operating on this logic New Vegas shouldn't exist. It was possible to merge Elder Scrolls and Fallout gameplay well enough to make both parties happy, Bethesda just doesn't understand how to pull it off. If they could have made New Vegas right off the bat, I can't...

Sam's Snowflakes. A tribe of gender non-conformist puritanal religious cultists who believe the use of politically incorrect language should be punishable by death. They wear sex-neutral burlap sacks and object to the use of all pronouns in the English language. Every night they gather inside...

Why would they not want to appeal to existing Fallout fans in addition to the Elder Scrolls crowd if they could? The plan you suggest just makes zero sense financially. It's not like Bethesda didn't try to win over series veterans, they just failed spectacularly. These developers were simply one...
