They could remove every last bit of "RPG" left in the Elder Scrolls and I don't think I'd care if they could just make swordplay not fucking garbage and magic genuinely fucking interesting. Magic in Skyrim was impressive in that it was actually MORE boring to play with than the alternatives.

Beth has never been particularly imaginative - Imperials have always pretty much been cosmopolitan Roman expys. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Don't let Kirkbride's acid-addled rants fool you, he's not that fucking good at what he does.

Better source if for no other reason than I've never heard of ABC being affiliated with/having significant membership overlap with organizations like PETA.

Low bar to clear, but yes. Oblivion becomes downright playable with the right mods. I think the only use I ever developed for Skyrim after the single mandatory completionist run (and a single run is all I fucking cared to do) was dicking around with LoversLab shit for shiggles.

HSUS is itself mildly suspect, and I don't appreciate them not openly disclosing their sources (it's a "email us and we'll send them to you", and I don't like giving my email out willynilly), but it's probably safe to say that stray shot is going to end up places it doesn't belong. That I will...

Cite source, because those numbers border on absurd. Copper is noticeably less dense than lead and that will likely lead to significantly altered ballistics. Copper itself is toxic in certain amounts (particularly to ungulates), though it wouldn't be hard to be LESS toxic than lead. We...

It needs to be understood that Bethesda absolutely does not think of any of us (as Fallout fans) as their target audience anymore and I'm pretty sure you could easily coax Hines into openly admitting as much.

Pretty sure DC has done it at some point.

The worst part about the Enclave PA in FO3 is that it stylistically rips off parts of the FO:T BoS PA and just paints it charcoal-grey. Not even the most baffling decision they made, but baffling nevertheless.

Well, Hines is just outright fucking retarded, but Howard might be on something. Anyone ever bothered to watch Todd's pupils in interviews?

I harbor a distinct preference for 3rd person isometric but I will say that FPRPG could work in theory - I wouldn't count on Bethesda/Gamebryo to make it work, though.

There will probably be other post-apoc franchises that come and go (WL2 wasn't terrible - not great, but not terrible) but beyond fangames (and have fun dealing with Bethesda's litigious ass, btw) I'm not sure there's a place to carry the torch TO.

Nothing is going to stop the franchise from going downhill at this point, I'm afraid. I'm personally ambivalent on Sawyer and fairly OK with Avellone, but either or both would absolutely be preferable to Hines and Howard and whatever monkeys they have mashing keys furiously in the Bethesda...

I wouldn't say that the Legion is devoid of debauched behavior per se but they're very particular in which vices they will allow/indulge. (The Legion in NV is, as a story device, probably a hollow parody of what it was in VB but we got what we got) Different strokes, I guess, but given I tend...

Whatever. You've proven you're no stranger to being a supercilious cockbite yourself, you're the sort of person who thinks rolling your verbal shit in a thin dusting of proverbial sugar puts you above someone more plainly-spoken. The only time lead ammunition ever really becomes an issue is...

Yeah, fair enough. In retrospect it might have been interesting for the game to make you THINK cannibalism was at play with the WGS but go somewhere else entirely with Beyond the Beef, but eh. There's Rome and then there's Rome. There are multiple periods/versions of Rome and while one of...

I honestly don't care that damn much if this particular topic ever swings back to "polite" again. I spoke my piece and made my stance on the thread topic clear. I'm not going to lose sleep over whether you, of all people, think I'm trolling or not. By now I've discovered I really enjoy...

I don't really disagree with you for the most part in that it does feel like more often than not NV plays it safe/straight, but I don't necessarily think that's the worst thing in the world. Some tropes have become tiresome and could probably stand to see less use, but many exist and are...

Because you're certainly not interested in polite discussion the moment that discussion treads ground you find distasteful, the obvious response is to give you impolite discussion instead. I'm sure your discussions seem very polite inside your tight little circlejerk where everyone generally is...

Being offended means jack and shit. If I offended you, good. If the worst you ever have to deal with is being offended by something, consider yourself a very lucky man. Because it's honestly pretty fun to be an unrepentant dick to you people. Better ways to spend my time? This is something...
