Okay, the difference between TB and RTwP in a nutshell: TB - each combatant is allotted a certain number of actions (or APs) - actions are executed immediately - combatants act in sequence RTwP - number of actions that can be performed depends on time (duration, reactions, etc) -...

Germans like to think the oil price is related to regional school holidays, actually.

As an addendum, the German trailer trash generation tv channel "RTL II" mentioned the GC in their prime time news programme. It even mentioned the sequels being something to watch out for. It did not, not even in a half-sentence, mention Fallout 3, however.

If you cut out the "ZOMG world government conspiracy" / oppression overtones, it's actually pretty factual. Religions are copycats, Christian mythology is based on age-old crap, the banks do follow purely economical interests, etc etc. But the point is moot. There's no conspiracy. Nobody...

Christian Bale is always good news IMO. I don't think the teaser is very telling, though. I liked T3, but I don't think T4 needs Schwarzenegger much. T2 needed him, but by the end of T3 he was pretty much used up. Do you want more "machines don't speak Humanese correctly" jokes? Also, the...

Everyone knows them, everyone loves them. Critical failures are what being Jinxed is all about. But how exactly do they work? Is it a roll based on your luck? If so, how is the chance determined? If not, what is it based on at all? Is it rolled on every attack or only after misses...

If anyone's really wondering why modern developers value vast generic lumps of quests over replayability, just look at modern games! Once the hype wears off and the players have adjusted to the eye candy, what else is left to keep them interested and coming back for more? Nothing. If you put...

The point is that without this kind of "railroading" the games would have become fully generic. Choice and consequence is all about fucking yourself in the long run. Things come back to bite you in the ass. It's a natural effect of the branching nature of the game's gameplay. I bet some...

I assume you're being very relative. No Microsoft OS so far was what I would call "great" on an absolute scale. Most were several different flavours of crap. Also, Win95 was badly broken and Win98 was a major bugfix. Neither was without its quirks. Lessee... 1. Win 3.0 2. Win 3.1 1...

How to do a proper interview Interviewer: Would it be fair to label Fallout 3, “Oblivion with guns”? It seems as if the dialogue seems to be the same, the wide open spaces and there are a lot of similarities. Pete Hines: <evasive> Interviewer: But could it be called "Oblivion with...

"East Germany"? And I thought Germany had been re-united almost two decades ago.

Fallout 2 was BIS, Fallout 1 wasn't. The dev teams mostly matched, though.

The technology doesn't matter, the results do. Beth likes hype and hype lives from technology buzzwords, so it's obvious why they keep on re-inventing the wheel square when plain old scripting could go a long way and yield better results. Even their "demos" were scripted. Why? Because...

Did you try using the door afterwards? You probably did.

There is at least one edited GCD (character) file in the Files section, I think. Read the first reply for further information.

But don't you see? That's the entire problem. It's Oblivion with Fallout elements. It doesn't matter how many elements it has taken from Fallout, it's still not Fallout because the core is not Fallout, but Oblivion. The devs even say so themselves: they took Oblivion and then added bits...

What SuAside said. There is no afterlife. Not in any meaningful way. "Chi", "lifeforce" and "energy" are just ambiguous phrases describing complex concepts like muscle tension, health and neuro-electric signals. They're very much physical and there's nothing magical in it at all. Once...

What the jester said. Also, yes, there are two-handed swords, but that is not the True Way of the Warrior, young padawan. The wakizashi is a side-arm, like a dagger. Even though you COULD use it two-handed, that doesn't make any sense. Much less if you're going for a stab, which requires...

ONE-handed. You can create way more momentum with one hand than using both. Also, it looks better. And to all the fools who say swords are two-handed weapons: read The Book of Five Rings. It's written by a Jap and even HE acknowledges that using two hands is ridiculous.
