So kind of exactly like Fallout 1 & 2 ai then? /except in Fallout 1 & 2 they just start out by shooting you in the back.

I disagree. Take a look at Darth's work on the M:TW2. It's not that it won't be a lot of work, but doing AI work lends itself a lot more to modding than doing, say, physics engine work. Turn-based, especially, for exactly the reasons you state, is more open to a modded solution. Given that...

Well, it was done in X-Com, and done very well. Of course it's a system that'll allow exploits, but it's nearly impossible-- and undesirable-- to make a game without exploits. One of the ways they did it was to choose you to switch before the battle whether to use turn-based or real-time...

Nimrod, can you think of a game that had a good inventory system? I think I like X-Com Apocalype for this-- both for the graphical layout and for the logic of it. You could even have different AP times for accessing different parts of your inventory. That is, if there were AP.

Hey all. In a conversation in another thread, I stumbled upon a thought. I prefer playing X-Com apocalypse, another wonderful old game, in real-time mode, partially just for the sake of speed, partially for challenge, and partially for the immersion element. I would have loved to have a...

Well, Fan did come from "fanatic". Is my sentence improved if I say, "Someone who liked Fallout better than any other game at the time, or at least on their top 10 list, for any reason?" The point that I'm making is that when people talk about "True", they're mainly talking about people...

Then I'll just apologize. Sorry, resurrecting old threads is a habit of mine; my most frequently posted board is a WWII history research site where posting in old threads is preferred to starting new ones, due to the technical limitations of the search function. My apologies-- and, for the...

I'm sorry, it's my first time finding these boards. Is it uncouth to post in old threads? I didn't notice anything about it in any of the posting guidelines. I think that the attitude represented by that post is rather prevalent and should be pointed out when possible, too. No true...

A good example of the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

The version of Fallout 2 I played had unkillable children. It was kind of hilarious being beaten up by a small child. I didn't feel that it detracted at all. I think this is a lot of kerfluffle about very little.

I'm sorry, in the midst of all of that I thought I caught a reference to Fallout and Fallout 2 being polished. Is someone claiming that?
