Well said, well said, all of it. You bring up some good points too, about the differences between TES games and Fallout. I think the sticking point is that Fallout has always had a much more direct, focussed story than TES, and as such, NEEDED all those personalized NPCs. Morrowind and...

Dude, TES III and IV might not be the TYPE of RPG that you like, but they are pretty incredible games nonetheless. I'm not gonna lay out all the reasons I think they're amazing because it's obvious you've already decided what you think about them, so I'll just stick with my main argument...

But here's the thing that's more worrisome for me than anything else: Neither Morrowind or Oblivion have any real humor to speak of, and Fallout is BUILT on a really cynical, crazy, dark humor that made the series truly unique and wonderful. Bethesda has proven to me they can make quality...

Later still: I've just made a new character in Fallout 2, a smarty-pants babe named Squid with Str 3, Per 3, En 3, Cha 10, Int 10, Ag 6, and Luck 5. My tag skills are Speech, Science, and Outdoorsman, and I took the special attributes of Sex Appeal and Good Natured. I want to have a character...

Okay, thanks for the reply. What are some of the fun characters you have played? Any really good ones come to mind?

What would be involved in a good Diplomat-type? High Charisma and Speech, that's for sure, maybe some serious Science? It's been a while since I played so I can't remember all the details about the way things work...

Hey there, all. I'm a first-time poster, but a long time fan of the Fallout world. I'm sitting here at my desk at my shitty temp job and fantasizing about starting a new game of Fallout 2 and actually finishing it this time, and I'm really intrigued by the thread about finishing the game with a...
