If that is really their strategy, its a risky one. If interplay can proof it, or the judge gets the impression that beth does it just to play the superior money and time card, it could backfire horribly. If they are found acting in bad faith now, Interplays claim that the whole contract was...

The change from chainmail to segmented armor was a logistic decision. Chainmail was actually better and more flexible but it is hard and time consuming to produce. WIth the large numbers of legionaries to equip, they switched to something easier to make. In large armies looks, comfort and...

It is a step in that direction. Smaller compressed world. Getting rid of tb combat, because that would be hard to do in a mmorpg. Get rid of stats mattering, makes balance easier. Get rid of complex, meaningful missions and level mainly through killing stuff preparing for the grindfest. Beth is...

I just saw your rant in the other thread vik and i understand that you have issues with interplay, so do i. But this is about legal actions taken. A court does not give a toss about the history of those companies and rightly so. But it will judge the stuff that is happening now, you know, the...

Dear Vault Dweller! Now they complain about the name project V13?! This whole trademark, copyright and licensing stuff is getting out of hand. Soon™ they will be suing each other because they used the letter t, wich is associated with the word vault, wich means Fallout, wich would mean you owe...

It has only an impact in leveldesign in a linear shooter, where you cant choose the time and place of an engagement. A game like FO3 / NV has enough cover and enough freedom of movement to make designed placement of cover obsolete. Of course the player would need to adapt and keep away from wide...

Will there be a nudepatch? I buy only games that support nudepatches.

That is because in postapocalyptia (320) no one smokes anymore. An no one needs money because everything just lies around to be picked up. And that means (321) the commies won.

Thanks. (intelligence) So they award a game that mentions its writers in the credits, no matter how stupid the writing actually is. Not really a trophy i would want to put on the mantlepiece. Its all a bit misdirecting i think. If someone tells me that he got an award from the writers guild...

Of course it does. But they have to choose a setting, and i prefer it if they choose one that they like and are comfortable with, it will make the game better. I prefer PA, Sci-fi or cyberpunk settings more but for a good turnbased game where stats and equipment actually matter, il put up with...

315 (or 314?): How to use FalloutModManager to ease the pain a tiny bit.

I can understand that, but why make awards at all then?

Yeah, in the 50s they thought nuclear power would solve any and all problems. But power is just one silly aspect. My computers tend to live about 4 to 5 years before i have to scrap them. Of course in a sci-fi setting they could make nuclear powered computers that don't wear down and survive for...

I don't know anything about this writers guild, but could it be that they are just mocking videogames with that? something to have a really good laugh about at their annual meeting? Imagine some representative of writers with a pokerface handing over some award to some awed bethestadian or...

Nice. Consider me hyped.

@anarchosyn I never saw a compilation/list of stupid/inconsistent things in FO3. probably its easier to list the stuff that makes sense, it would be a short list. Closest thing to a listing of stupid things would be: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_quests The problem is that...

It depends from wich country you try to pay. Paypal restricts the payment services for some countrys, like switzerland and i think germany. They wont allow recurring payments from accounts that aren't backed by a cc. I don't know why, since if someone has a cc he doesn't need paypal. There...

Cool, then im coming too. 10 hours to go. Happy new year!

Carlin on promotion tour i see :) I gave FE a spin a few months ago and was surprised and very impressed. It comes closest to what i think makes a mmorpg worth playing. Sadly my graphics card died a horrible heat-death and i could not finish my free trial-month. I will return again but am...

Yeah, and using polls to gauge what the "populace at large" wants is ridiculous too. And listening or reading about public opinion is ridiculous too. If a group of people reaches a certain size its not possible to gauge their feelings. So how come that FO3 is widely regarded as a good game if...
