A convincing illusion of player freedom created by a blend of mechanics on micro level(contextual blurbs, combat, character depth(addiction, etc), item-skill interaction, descriptions) level, middle level (non-linear quest solutions, conflicting quests, only one invulnerable NPC in the entire...

Given how an average female is significantly physically weaker than an average male, I can understand where the mod author was coming from. Temple of Trials is a "physical" test after all. However this doesn't work well in a game where a stat of 7 is a stat of 7, supposedly unaffected by...

As I said years ago, this project could thrive if they made it into a mature MMO with the usual measures taken in a WoW-like game to ensure a) solid PvE content and b) inability to gank unsuspected players at will anytime, anywhere Somehow, they didn't seem to care for that. Did someone...

Somewhere, Todd Howard is scrupulously taking notes.

I made an accurate analogy there, but it flew right over your head. The close-minded scrooge was a sarcastic remark as to how you are framing -me- and other people who hate FO3. I don't particularly enjoy that, nor does it get funny everytime a clone of you tries to project this "cranky...

You're also not the first person in the world who managed to enjoy both Transformers 2 and Terminator. Both are about robots, amirite? And c'mon, is Transformers 2 really --that-- bad? You just gotta be able to enjoy the uh... good things... in it. Stop being such a close-minded scrooge...

You would have trouble not resorting to ad hominem too, if you had to deal with your kind for about the 200th time (and I wish this was a severe exaggeration), spending time and effort on pointing out the obvious, only to have the next guy come in and start with the same garbage. I'll let...

Same thing. You're using an anecdotal segment that does not represent the gross total of the quality of writing in Fallout1, to compare it with the gross total of the quality of writing in Fallout3. This isn't the only example of fallacious defenses you used in your post. In real-life...

You're using fallacies and intellectual dishonesty in order to push a narrative that is not aligned with reality. The prize of your post is the part where you compare Fallout 3 dialogue to Fallout 1 character blurbs that appear above their heads. You do THAT, and expect to be taken seriously...

... When did Jay Carney start visiting these forums? Sorry, I would provide a point by point debunking, but there's so many fallacies to dig through there, and I've done this so many times before... Like the high school girls, Fallout3 fans always remain the same age...

The more hate is expressed toward Fallout 3, the more my faith in humanity grows. It's a litmus test, of sorts.

Not so much embarassing as inevitable. The gameplay programming hasn't evolved for a very long time - only the outer graphics layers.

Despite its apparent simplicity and a number of flaws, Dungeon Keeper actually had some creature AI, and certainly had a lot of thought put into the game's overall design. Games like Impire only serve to highlight its superiority.

Neither developer should be making Fallout games. Sure, Obsidian sucks less at it, but damn, F:NV was a borefest. A game with no passion behind it, no intent of making player give a shit about anything. And yes, FO3 was far, far worse.

Not my thing. I'd like my character to be capable of forming complete sentences instead of one-word grunts.

Fallout 1 was a window into another world. Fallout 2 had a crap lulzy world, but was saved by solid gameplay mechanics. Fallout 3 had has neither. That game has nothing going for it. The game redefines mediocrity as a concept. Terrible dialogue, horrible kinetic feel of movement and...

Bethesda is as Bethesda does.

Too bad the OP will never know the real Fallout.

Nothing good came out of Bethesda since Terminator: Future Shock (except possibly Daggerfall). So... no.

Amazing job. Spot-on color palette, atmosphere, everything.
