Upgrades work exactly like perks in Fallout. Deus Ex just has a better system for selecting them. There wouldn't even have to be any change to the story. When you'd level up in my version of Fallout, it would be like 'congratulations, you got a perk point' and then you could scroll through a...

Ringo beat them all at Caravan so hard they disguised themselves as Powder Gangers and attacked the town.

While I'm certainly not hopeful about any future Fallout-branded title, the idea of powered armor does not have to be exclusive to the series. Let's look at what it had going for it as a concept. Power armor is an amazing late-game reward in the Fallout series because it makes the player feel...

This has a remedy in the form of Deus Ex's Praxis Points. Basically when you leveled up in those games, you got a point to spend. If you wanted a minor upgrade like damage resistance after one level up, you were free to buy it, but the purchase was entirely optional. If you instead wanted a more...

I've actually looked into mods for New Vegas where the trait cap is removed as part of my ultimate gameplay overhaul. The general consensus is that the limit was imposed for a reason. Traits as they exist are often more beneficial than they are detrimental, which can lead to some real balance...

A TIM CAIN FACT I DIDN'T KNOW? O.o You never fail to deliver, my friend.

I turned on My Little Pony once while flipping through the channels. It was during an action sequence with more explosions than a Transformers movie. I was like damn, this is pretty intense for little girls, but then I remembered it was these people they were trying to appeal to.

Still better character models than vanilla.

I demand an LGBTQ non-binary gender fluid option or else I'm going to be triggered.

Wow not only a copier, but a sexist.

Yeah, I like where you are going with this. Really all you'd need to avoid using currency is a visual-based value system. Low value items could be highlighted in yellow and would accepted as a fair trade for one another. High value items could be outlined in red. Two yellow items would trade for...

Are we really arguing about definitions right now? Gizmo thinks the skills in Fallout are correctly implemented. James and I think the skills are improperly implemented. Let's drop the English debate, please. This part of the system isn't really the problem, Gizmo. It's the actual Fallout...

That's pretty hilarious, although if I were him, I would paint "I QUIT" on my chest in black letters and run around playing the 2001 Space Odyssey music out of a radio.

I got you. Title changed to avoid confusion. (For anybody reading this in the future, the original title was "Fallout 1, 2, & New Vegas Flaws", in case you were curious.)

That's alright, at least you realized you fucked up. Is there a better title for this thread, you think? A reminder to everyone who's just tuning in, this is a mechanical gameplay discussion. R.Graves does bring up a good point though. Cut content, rushed releases, and budget constraints have...

Some of these arguments are flying dangerously close to thread rule 1a territory, but I'll allow it because you make some points about gameplay at the same time. Consider this a friendly reminder. What you have described here are the design differences between an optional reward and a...

Wow, what idiots. When has a professional company ever posted a play-by-play run down of accusations made against them? I don't blame the contributors for leaving. Pure incompetence. Standard practice is not commenting on scandals for a reason. What has Guru Larry said his actual reasoning for...

Pretty good. Vocals sound a little flat to me, though. 6/10. Finding a good metal singer is hard. The real song starts at 1:30, but the whole video is honestly worth watching.

God forbid, they might actually have had to do some extra work in Fallout 4 because players would be asking for the feature to return...

Ok, but he did clarify what he meant. Many of these skills did not have enough content associated with them, and should have probably been merged as a result. Good RPG design demands that you utilize every possible attribute roughly equally so as to avoid a dominant strategy. There are many...
