Shared some words on Josh Sawyer's Formspring on the bullet crafting mechanics, and it seems he felt that quite a few people didn't respond that positively to it. I personally thought it was a really fucking cool mechanic, and I'd be disappointed if that many people thought it was too "detailed"...

With the last piece of New Vegas DLC out and deciding to do a definitive run of FO: NV before I uninstall it for the time being, I created a character for purposes of role-playing, and one thing led to another, and I had enough to fill a few pages. If the response is positive, then I might...

It seems that Obsidian made a point of addressing a lot of the issues the esteemed members of this forum had with Fallout 3: Playing up the moral ambiguity of the Brotherhood of Steel's motivations, introducing the DT system to make it more RPG-ey, the fact that creatures such as Deathclaws and...

Just listened to both the Giant Bombcast and Rebel FM where the hosts complained about not being able to play the game past the ending, and honestly, I'm a bit perplexed as to why this is such big issue. I'd hate to be called an Obsidian apologist, but given how there's a lot to decide in that...

It seems to me that if Bethesda (the publisher) wanted to play things smart, they'd like to get out Fallout 4 while the iron was still hot. With Bethesda the developer busy into mid-late October and Obsidian being ostensibly done with their current project (Dungeon Siege 3), is it conceivable...

Anyone else here sort of took issue with the character assassination the Overseer suffered in Fallout 2? At the end of Fallout 1, credit to his voice actor, he came off as a sympathetic character who genuinely believed it was to the benefit to everyone in Vault 13 if he gave the Vault Dweller...

At face value, a reticent, repentant former stone-cold killer with a death-wish seems like a pretty troperiffic character (I could name a bunch of characters who fit this arch-type, chief of which, Jack Bauer), but he never strikes me as totally cliched to the point of annoyance.

Topic. I'll go for Small Frame and Trigger Discipline on my first playthrough. On my second, I'll take one of the two above and Wild Wasteland. What are you guys going to take along?

Reason I ask is because I think my university-housing apartment's internet service has a bandwidth limit of around 3gb a day, after which things go at an excruciating 50 kb/s (figured that out when re-downloading Dawn of War 2 from Steam and downloading the DCS: A-10C beta). Seeing as how...
