    Is Bethesda baiting the console modding community with Remastered Skyrim?

    Of course they are. The thing is, PC players have already had a "remastered" version of Skyrim since 2013, and some of the current builds are almost on parity with FO4 - with some give and take. Models are obviously lower quality, but the textures are far superior. There's really no reason at...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    HyperDimensional Neptunia ReBirth 1 for the PSVita. ... what? Why are you looking at me like that? It's a fun game. Also been playing a lot of the Rise of the Triad remake, MGSV:TPP, and a bunch of various GBA games & Doom/Doom II on my PSP. Probably going to start up Valkyria Profile after...

    Culture of Fallout

    Naw, I'm actually a pretty crass person, so I just tend to have a lot of time alone to think. :vatted: But thanks for the compliment. The name isn't a reference that I know of. The word dookie just always makes me giggle, and it's just what entered my head when I made the account. Probably...

    Culture of Fallout

    I was under the impression that the pre-war culture in Fallout wasn't so much based on mid-20th century culture, but on the utopian visions of a 21st century which were prevalent after WWII and up to mid 60's. A juxtaposition of the dream of a better future, but which hid the nightmares of the...

    Toons Of The Past

    This used to be one of my absolute favorite shows as a kid. I was so used to cheaper Hanna Barbera slapstick kiddie cartoons, that this one absolutely blew me away with it's depth of characters, it's lore, and worldbuilding. Even beat the game for it on Genesis. Exosquad, mentioned earlier, was...

    What faction did you pick in Fallout 4

    Maybe it's because I played as Nora. She would likely have had a much stronger bond with him, even with never having known who he would become as a person, because she carried him for nine months and went through the pain of labor for him. It just strikes me as odd that she wouldn't want to at...

    Your Waifu/Husbando/Best Male/Girl in New Vegas?

    Honestly, I really liked Melissa Lewis. Shame she didn't get more character development, because she makes a great companion. Her voice is cute too, though Zoe's accent is a bit out of place in the Mojave. Other than her, probably Cass. She reminds me of a friend I used to have, but fell out of...

    Why Do You Enjoy Fallout 3

    I'm not sure if I like FO3 insomuch as I just really like that style of Bethesda game. Once I got a handle on it (had gotten a bit too used to JRPGs of the PS1/PS2 era) Morrowind pulled me into it's world hard, and I fell in love with the world and how deeply the engine and story/quests allowed...

    Things you thought will be good (after E3 showcase) but ended up not so

    I thought the gunplay would be improved, and that was correct - it was, but in a classic case of "be careful what you wish for". With the brand new combat mechanic overhaul, came Bethesda's apparent insistence that it be a showcase feature of the game. The whole game feels designed to seemingly...

    Why does it feel like ?

    Lore is a bit tricky, in that you don't want it so rigid that it stifles creativity - but at the same time, you need to keep a handle on it because limitations are what provide definition. A great deal of creativity tends come itself from finding novel solutions around existing limitations. You...

    What faction did you pick in Fallout 4

    Some of us were raised on anime and are used to the idea of robots having "souls". Even so, I still ended up siding with the Institute because of Emil's piss poor forced player characters. I couldn't realistically see either Nate or Nora (if they were actually characters, rather than...
