So far the best "minmax" char I had was: STR 5 -> 6 PER 6 -> 7 END 5 -> 6 CHA 1 -> 2 INT 9 -> 10 AGI 9 -> 10 LUK 5 -> 6 Number after the -> is after bobbleheads. This unlocks most of the useful perks. Someone earlier posted a build with low perception. You lose out on...

I think there is some implication of industrial military complex. Remember, that theme is part of the post world war II mindset. There was warning even way back then of government and corporate America hand in hand. That being said, it may be simply more like real life. Corporations controlling...

The 0 weight nuclear warheads added to my immersion. Really ;) Back on topic: I have no problem with FEV being in the capitol wastes - if its explained better. The tie would obviously be the pre-war Enclave which pulled the strings in government AND corporations (if you control govt, you...

Bioshock was developed in the spirit of System Shock System Shock 1 & 2 were actually AMAZING games. Bioshock is just System Shock set in an alternate 50's world. Some of the gameplay elements are almost the same. Personally though, I liked upgrading "my rig" in System Shock 2 better. The...

Duh. The Children are Immortals. The slavers, mercs, muties and raiders would all get pwned :P

MORE importantly - where did all those brats in little lamplight come from?

I haven't seen this yet. Must go find some brahmin when I get home from work. This might make me put down FO1 for a night :shock:

I'm not defending Fallout 3 Canon, but keep in mind the scale of Fallout 3. Fallout 3 would be one square on the Fallout 1 or 2 map. We are playing in basically one "city radius". We don't have the whole picture, which is somewhat disappointing. One thing we do know...

[spoiler:6a6c5439cb]One of the terminals indicates that the Fawkes was a female before she was exposed to FEV. Mutants apparently lose their gender identity as part of the transformation. This is, of course, only canon in FO3. I believe there is a female mutie in FO2...

You actually trashed their bad RPG writing for what it is. "Real Reviewers" wouldn't do that

Bethesda likes to insult its customers. I love them more and more </sarcasm>

Watch the DLC be a "RP Patch" that gives us another town that is more "Fallout-Style". In addition: [spoiler:fa0fc29f00]They change the ending to allow you to send your RADIATION IMMUNE MUTANT BUDDY into project purity. Why the fuck do I need to die when that bitch (yes Fawkes WAS a female)...

Considering that media tends to be: A) Driven by profit B) Biased C) For sale to the highest bidder You can quickly understand how / why Beth gets such good reviews for its games. "Journalists" always need to be taken with a grain of salt. If you see a terrible review or a really...

Bethesda should have made them non-hostile and allowed the player to interact with them. Would have been a fun twist to [spoiler:1212d3cd2f]stealing independence. Imagine if you could have brought the declaration to the communists for heaps of evil karma?[/spoiler:1212d3cd2f] Kinda like how...

LOL! I think we need someone to draw a Pic of that :wink:

Ooh that looked so promising!

Poor marketing and a lack of any sort of DRM probably killed FO sales. Not that I like DRMs, but I do seem to remember Diablo taking a CD key. CD keys, although easily cracked by pirates, are generally not cracked by the general public. I may be wrong, but it is a plausible explanation as to why...

I didn't read this whole thread, so I may be reiterating a point already made. That being said: The main argument against Fallout 3 could possibly lay within your very argument for it. In your original post you claim that via visuals Fallout 3 tells a story in more detail than anything...

I think this nails it on the head for me. FO3 should have been: Fallout: Capitol Wasteland. I was hoping that the first person perspective would have been utilized more as an option than as a redefinition. 3d RPG with optional turn based or real time action, a well rendered 3d world with options...
