    Gameinformer's top 100 RPGs list is so bad...

    Skyrim has aptly been described as like an inch deep ocean. One of the first things I did in the game was to equip a leather skullcap on my frilled Argonian PC; his many seven inch horn/spikes all disappeared from his scalp.

    Gameinformer's top 100 RPGs list is so bad...

    I bought Oblivion CE to see what this new (to me) studio was capable of making. I was impressed! I had high hopes for FO3. The shine wore off after exiting the sewers, and conversing with the city inhabitants. Being impressed wore off with the release of the first FO3 screenshots, and seeing...

    Gameinformer's top 100 RPGs list is so bad...

    I guess I need to play those at some point. I have ME1 & 2 installed, but have never launched them. Witcher 3 I won for free in a contest —day one; never played it past the tutorial area. It is too much like Witcher 2 than 1 for my taste. I quit Witcher 2 sometime after the Kraken fight, and I...

    More mutant wildlife

    As I understood it... they were looking for another big baddie for the Fallout game, and had the ready made (for D&D) maquette on the shelf. This is true for gorillas, and Deathclaws are said to have been created using ape DNA, as well as samples from Jackson's chameleons.

    More mutant wildlife

    The irony (to me) here is that the Deathclaws are based upon a fifty foot tall D&D monster. :smug: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Tarrasque

    More mutant wildlife

    The discussion is about thirteen foot tall pigeons, is it not? The S'lanter were also cut simply for being too much added work, with not enough time to do it. A dev quote mentioned them [loosely] as not really fitting the narrative. Myself, I have no problem with extreme examples of mutated...

    More mutant wildlife

    Only as special encounters IMO. *Recall that the devs had plans for the PC to encounter their S'Lanter, but chose to omit them as too far off; it didn't fit in.

    Unpopular Opinion and Discussion thread

    Do you remember when Amazon erased Orwell's 1984 from everyone's Kindle? (It proved they could do it.) Aside: Local files are great, it's the same argument made for collecting physical media. As far as local PDF's go (like Humble Bundle's fare), they are great, though the source links can be...

    Also can't trust them not to get surreptitiously expurgated.

    Introduce yourself! AKA the "Say hello" thread

    I owned a PC that released six years before Fallout did; it could not recognize drives of more than 40 mb. *Forty megabytes; with 32mb max partition sizes. Speaking of... The first time I needed to upgrade a hard drive to fit a game was with Baldur's Gate; the drive cost $280, and BG1 filled it.

    Fallout 4's Announcement Trailer.(THE BIG REVEAL!)

    I have never played FO4 or F76. FO3 was bad enough, and FO4 looked like it was (in every way) worse off the mark than FO3. FO3 ruined the franchise for me —thanks Todd.:yuck: (I've a similar opinion of FO:NV btw. )

    Fallout 2 mod Fallout et tu - Release v1.12

    I'd assume that vault suits are essentially the PC's underwear, and that they are effectively considered to be wearing nothing; base sprite. I highly doubt that the art exists in the game, to show companion sprites wearing the (nothing) vault suit.

    First Aid usable in combat?

    It isn't Doctor but worse. Doctor is a career path. It requires dedicated skill point expenditures to make it useful. First Aid is open to all, and is improvable by skillbooks; leaving the skillpoints available for use on the other (harder to train) skills. Doctor by itself takes three hours...

    What's wrong with using stimpaks?

    Fallout Easter Eggs

    Not technically an egg in the game, but there are secrets in the PDF manuals. Everywhere there is a pasted note from the overseer, there is a paragraph of text underneath it; text that can be selected, copied, and pasted into an editor to read.

    First Aid usable in combat?

    Aside from not being allowed to use in combat, First Aid costs thirty minutes, Doctor costs an hour; around 360 / 720 combat turns respectively.

    Does anyone have any faith in the future of this franchise at this point?

    No; no chance in hell. The jerks have ruined it. No chance unless it switches studios; and what chance of that?
