Nice - I bought afterall insanity but didn't actually get round to playing it yet. I'm glad now, as now my first experience of it will be this improved edition.

It is great that you have made this, I look forward to trying it. I really hope that you've got rid of the stupid comments that the NPCs made in the Brotherhood bunkers in the early parts of the game. Biggest thing that needed "fixing", in my opinion! It's a shame that I am currently half...

It would have sucked to have a DLC about a casino heist where you couldn't get any loot at all. But the point is not to be greedy - if you try to walk out of there over-encumbered then you can't actually escape. (At least, you aren't supposed to be able to, and patches have made it harder to use...

Though surely this is cheaper than the Ultimate Edition? I mean, sure it seems silly to buy something now that you don't think you'll play until months later, but if it is more expensive later, then might as well. I took advantage of the sale to buy Courier's Stash. Not because I actually...

I'm skeptical as to whether interplay's Fallout Online will be any good, but I really want Interplay to win this case. It was patently obvious from day 1 that Bethesda were doing everything in their power to ruin Interplay's chances of making the game, and the absurd legal arguments which...

They actually give the option to pay more than one dollar so you can pre-order more than once and give the spares to friends. I've did three dollars. That's about two pounds. I don't mind paying two quid to charity, and in the very unlikely event that this campaign suceeds, I'll have two...

I am definately looking forward to GRA. I haven't killed the Van Graffs simply because they are the only decent energy weapon vendors in the game. Back in Fallout 1 the Gun Runners dealt all kinds of weapons, including laser and plasma. So if GRA makes it so that killing the Van Graffs lets the...

It looks like there might also be some quests/missions associated with the Gun Runners pack, as there achievements for doing stuff other than killing things with the new weapons. So could be some interesting extra content, a few side-quests. The pack with the pre-order content seems a bit...

Well I absolutely love it. You can't have a sci-fi setting with energy weapons and artificial intelligence yet where technology barely developed beyond vacuum tubes without a certain degree of silliness. (I recall the examine text for the computers in the Brotherhood bunker being in awe of...

Because 100% means "complete, entire, whole". 100% should mean that you are the best of the best of the best. What I'd like to see is that increasing a skill beyond 75% would require two skills points per percentage point. That would effectively simulate Fallout 1 and 2 skillpoint behaviour...

I think it is more likely the thinking was this: 1) Interplay couldn't afford to make a decent Fallout 3 (or a decent ANYTHING) 2) Bethesda would be likely to make a succesful game (we may say Fallout 3 "is not really Fallout!" but there's no denying it is successful, and an OK game in its...

Though a webcomic that consists of amazing artwork but zany jokes is in itself quite funny. You would usually think that if someone takes so much time and effort to produce something so impressive looking, that it would have a dark and serious subject matter. (And the post-apocalyptic setting...

I'm guessing the fact that this is done in Japanese and was originally on Fallout 3's Japanese website means that it was just a fun project done by Bethesda's Japanese webmasters.

Yeah it's Fallout 3 rather than Fallout 1. But then there wouldn't be much point in de-making a 2D turn-based RPG into a lower-resolution turn-based RPG. It would just be Fallout 1 with more pixels and worse sprites and no isometric perspective.

Bear in mind that the flamer does more damage than its stats would suggest. The big wide flame can simultaniously damage several body parts - so you are doing 16 to torso, 16 damage to head, 16 damage to an arm, all at once, and then the piddly little -2 flame damage for 5 seconds. Also, the...

I thought The Pitt was excellent. And despite not being a fan of aliens becoming a big part of the Fallout story, I thought that Mothership Zeta was pretty good in terms of "bang for your buck". Point Lookout too, probably - I never got round to finishing it.

Some of them are a bit "hmm", but some of them are definately good, like ED-E given the Light Step perk. Is weird having a robot that floats above your head setting off beartraps and land mines. I think I'll also grab that "Plausible starting outfit" mod for the next time I'll play. I was...

I would take Friday off work (UK release date) except that I've got an important meeting, and a training session. ARSE. But yeah, watching streams online, the 360 version definately has / had a memory leak, solved simply by restarting the console every couple of hours. Might be a day one...

Only applies to game reviewers that were given review copies of the game by the company. Bethesda/Obsidian gives a magazine or website a copy of the game early, on condition that the reviewer doesn't put the review up until release day. If a reviewer disobeys this and does a review early, then...

Here's hoping. The Fallout 3 plasma pistol and plasma rifle didn't have any iron sights either. But at least I think the Plasma Defender does.
