Yeah sure, and i agree with you. You were basically saying that it does not have to be a specific mechanic to make a game a RPG. I kinda looked at it from the other side: even if you have mechanics that are associated with RPGs it does not mean it is one. I just went on a bit of a rant...

Stats arent the only way to make a RPG. As you said, good storytelling with lots of different solutions or a complex world with different ways to interact with can do that too. But how many games do that ? Its far easier to do it with stats and different builds. If your sneak skill is high...

Target Audience strikes again. Cool. :roll: There was really too much to worry about in the old games. And who wants to worry while playing? Im still a bit nervous about that worrysome health part. Does it mean my char will die if its depleted? That would worry me. And im not sure i could...

Its a far better Fallout 3. Its what Fallout 3 could have been if Bethesda could be arsed to do a proper job. But its not a better Fallout or Fallout2. Storywise its ok, and most characters are well-written too. Factions range from great to somewhat stupid (Legion). I could actually play it...

Take my guns and make for the hills. There are tons of cool bunkers up there. From small gun emplacements to gigantic subterran hospitals. Most of them are empty, have their own water and power supply and are very remote. I thought of a castle too but once you are inside and a million zeds are...

But everyone knows that good sales mean its a good game! Hell, il go and buy another 200 copies of FO3 so it gets even better. If they only sold another million units even the engine-glitches would be gone! :wtf: Tell me, is my reasoning flawed in some way?

Why? A believable world is not all about the player. Why should a bunch of Brahmintenders or Vault-squatters level up with the Player? NPC's should only have the level needed to make them believable for the role and place they inhabit in the gameworld. So no pussies in the middle of deathclaw...

Or even a parasite attached to a giant beard.

And what about bread? i bet at least 90% of all criminals eat bread. There has to be a connection! I demand a representative survey about the bread eating habits of criminals! Then we will have FACTS (TM) and can act accordingly.

Well, its nice to have a little troll looking in again, was some time since the last showed his face. But apparently you are still in the kindergarten stage of trolling. i give you a 3/10 and this only because of the effort that went into it, as stated by walpknut. The comment about dead forums...

Mostly people argue about what kind of powerplant is the best/safest/cleanest kind. The need for big powerplants could be reduced significantly if we would use wasted energy (mainly heat) efficiently. By using heat-power-coupling on individual buildings heating-system, the wasted heat is...

Neocron and Neocron2 did it first too, so did Fallen Earth. That aside, i will keep an eye on this one. Its just that there is so much that can go horribly wrong trying to combine FPS and RPG in a Multiplayergame. Still hoping for someone to do it right.

Perhaps just some wishreading but: Gersh: It couldn't be anything else. It would be impossible to suggest. The problem is as we suggest Iin our papers is that I think it is ambiguous from this agreement what did we really get? It is why we think that the intent of the parties need to be...

According to Bethesda ghoulification occurs after standing next to a nuclear explosion. Moira proves that ghouls have nothing to do with FEV. And people wonder why some other people wont accept FO3 as canon.

There you are. Not because i dislike the setting, it has potential for good stuff. But since its bethesda doing it and they wont change their "winning formula"... yeah, down the shitter Nr. 3.

Its very similar to Gothic 1 and 2 (From the same guys, after the G3 debacle). The first few chapters are pretty good, it turns a bit into too much of h&s towards the end for my tastes. Apart from that, pretty much what small framed said. Its one of the few fantasy-games where ranged combat is...

There is no such thing as definitely in corporate law. And certainly not in a case involving chaps like beth and interplay. I see another chapter unfold in the neverending story of this farce. The lawyers on both sides certainly struck gold with that one.

They are all wrong, its actually mine! you will see, my lawyer is going to sort it out good and proper. WTS: FO-license (without MMOG, but with assets from FO1, 2 but not FOT and parts of FO3 and different parts from NV. Sound optional except the inon zur stuff that is included in sale as is...

This. At first i thought IP would loose it all, but now i guess they will retain the right to do a mmo(rp)g. I put this at 80%, loosing all at 19% and winning it all at 1%. But IF they win it all, i guess herve will flog the franchise to the next bidder for another ton of cash. EA would be...

At this point in time, yes. If the contract gets cancelled and everything reverts to Interplay and herve starts to sue for the ill gotten money beth made by using a franchise they did not own and demands royalties from the fo3 sales and... Beth will burn and zenimax will sink. Who knows, in...
