Interplay, the cockroach of the gaming community, lives on in the Caen brothers' one room shack. To avoid prosecution, they plan on moving operations onto a houseboat. To cover expenses, they plan on floating more stocks and lying to their shareholders. More news as it develops. Rat bastards.

I like the site better. It's not as... busy? maybe? I dunno, but there's a chance that a little change every now and then is a good thing.

heh heh. Interplay spy. I like that one. Briareus is always popping his big bulbous head in here. That's about as much of an Interplay spy as you can get. :mrgreen:

I rather liked super contra. Great game. I'm just interested in getting Fallout 3. If that's still in production, I'm happy. FO:BoS? I'll get it out of curiosity at this point. Like I said at the Iplay board, I don't like using ranged weapons in those games, so I'm looking forward to the...

I rather don't like the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. I still want to give the guy a fair shake, though. Anyhow, he didn't create the setting, he just designed some material for it.

This gives me a very bad feeling about Fallout 3. That's been our prize all along and I guess I just can't see following BIS if I have both Jefferson and Van Buren pulled out from under me one right after another. I love the community, but we're there to discuss RPGs. As interesting as I find...

It could also mean that the number of areas is the same as Fallout 1 but the size of each area is much larger. I can't pin it down, but I seem to remember Sawyer saying something of the sort a while back.

Butch is kind of funny. He's a rather stupid engineer. I can see what they're saying, though. I've known some folks who weren't all that well read but who could work on a car like no-one else. I didn't think they were really "stupid" though. I just thought that they had invested time in...

The only thing with the Swiss Halberdier idea is that... 1) That was a weapon design that said something about the times in which it was made. and, more importantly 2) That it was not a weapon to be used in one on one fighting. Like I said, I agree with you about spears. I think...

You lost me on that one, Azael. Other than spears, pole arms would be less useful in everyday life and it's not exactly a good weapon to use out of formation, is it? A spear is one thing. You can make the argument that it's easier to hunt with it. ...But there's a reason swords were so...

I think there are arguments to be made all the way around. It's not that having swords isn't feasible. Rather, it's that having swords isn't part of the "feel" of the Fallout games. ...And that we wouldn't have swords of the same quality we'd expect in a high fantasy RPG with a tradition of...

It's comments like that which build hype for your game. It also gets you flamed to no end. Look at Bioware and the Neverwinter Nights dealio. Speaking of which, it's a game that appeals to Wastelanders, Fallouters, Morrowinders, and Neverworthit Nighters? Hmm, I just don't trust that...

I think you're better off fighting over different views than having a two minute discussion in which everyone agrees. As for the fires, heh. They've burned down. All of our smoke went into the Arizona and Nevada. Ha ha ha. Now they hate us because they had to live with smoke. It was...

lol. Fallout 2 had a lot of 80s related jokes. I mean, over the top sorts of joking. If we did have swords, I'd like to have functional swords. I wouldn't want katanas simply because that would entail a level of swordsmithing that I doubt we'd see in the wastes. Having short, functional...

Good God, you guys score off me all the time. :D *Eldar grins wryly and looks to see if anyone else saw him acting foolish* I can't believe how often that happens. Ugh. I've got to get over myself around here before I become the laughing stock of the NMA forums. Of course, that presumes I'm...

That's a good point. Maybe they don't have swords because the art of making an effective sword has fallen out of memory. Spears, however, can be something as simple as a fire hardened end on a sharp stick.

Um, I read and write Latin. More importantly, I read and write Attic Greek. Still more important is that I actually did make sure of my statement by checking M-W online beforehand. The point isn't where we get the word. The point is that its accepted use is often quite different from its...

I think it's pretty certain that there won't be swords. I don't agree with the decision, however. A sword is much more efficient than a sledgehammer or knife. In fact, I'd have spears and swords play a dominant part of combat. If ammo is prone to failure, as they've made some hints, then...

Maybe we'll have to kill some main bad guy who happens to have a.... GECK.

I like the setup because, when I'm playing the game the second or third times though, there are some conversations I like to rush through and it helps to know where those responses will be. Hell, even the first time through it's nice to know where the "good-bye" option will be when some dumbass...
