I've not played Planescape: Torment. Frankly, your contention that character creation is not important to RPG's is ridicluous and smacks of a desire to be objectionable and disagree with me in any way you can. As Kyuu pointed out, Diablo had no character creation, merely pre-defined character...

With regards to the character creation thing- I said that it's key, not that character creation= RPG. Imagine that Fallouts 1 and 2 had given us exclusively female thief characters and forced us to play through on that. Would that not have been incredibly limiting? If Bethsoft had announced that...

Congratulations! You are the second person to dub me a troll because I hold an opinion different to yours. Perhaps you could hold off on the ad hominem attacks and simply respond to what I'm posting? Agreed on the drinking toilet water. I'm not overly bothered about the nuclear car thing...

I disagree. Creating your own character is KEY in any RPG. If the new incarnation of Fallout didn't feature character creation and gave you a generic Joe Bloggs with a very pre-defined background (yes, I know your character has a father and you leave the vault at nineteen, but it's still fairly...

How so? Yes, the dialogue was non-existent and the main storyline was very linear, but the core of any RPG- character creation- was there, and the number of things that you could do was mind-blowing. You're obviously referring to TES here, but can you give me some examples? You're quite...

I'm not sure that you read my post in its entirety. Let's assume, for argument's sake, that you're right: 1) Bethsoft wants money. They are developing an RPG. 2) "Casual gamers" don't buy RPG's. 3) From a purely pragmatic, money-grabbing perspective, aiming an RPG at the "casual...

All right, point taken. Obviously if Bethsoft shits all over the fundamental precepts of what makes Fallout Fallout, it will be crap. The supermutant thing is a sore point, to be sure, but is it merely an aesthetic change or, as so many people have claimed, will they be reduced to mindless bad...

It's a good question, and one that time will answer. I'm by no means a Bethsoft apologist, I'm just trying to maintain a sense of optimism about this because I really wanna play another decent Fallout game. There will hopefully be enough in this game that it is still recognisably Fallout. I...

I think a lot of people are going way overboard in their negative reactions to what Bethsoft have offered up so far. Fallouts 1 and 2 are my all-time favourite games and I still regularly play both, but I'm mostly just really happy to see a Falllout 3 being made, and I'm happy a decent company...
