1. Beyond concrete explanations, I think that the idea was to present a glimpse of hope in the overall darkness. To show that, even without interference from the old world or a savior, one community, by itself, managed to rise from the ashes, forget about the past and has started to build a new...

The exact same F3 game, only with the words "Necropolis" instead of "Washington DC" could -maybe- have kind of worked, if it took place during the war between the Brotherhood and the Unity's army between F1 and F2, fighting to hold their grip while their master is dead. The water purifier could...

Agreed. The redeeming quality of Fallout 3, in my opinion. Just the mention of Ronto, apparently another industrial power, is enough to suggest life beyond the immediate surrounding, and create a world that feels alive and real, rather than a playfield centered around the player. I hear you. In...

To give credit where it's due, travelling with dogmeat is actually a pretty good experience. I like the way he travels by your side or ahead of you, instead of following you. It's the little things, right, but it actually brings a lot. Nice little ideas, with the dog fetching specific items for...

Of course it's not perfect. Neither is Fallout 1, 2 or tactics. It's not about the game, it's about the world it builds, and how it invites us to it. A world that is believable yet original, beautiful yet brutal, deep yet fun, filled with opportunities and dangers, memories and lies. As long as...

Actually, hairy deathclaws could make sense, considering the fact that they come from California and may have had to cross frozen mountains to get to the midwest. Considering that they mutate super fast -this is the point of their existence, after all- and that mutation usually makes you more...

I didn't play New Vegas for a long time, because stupid as I am, I thought it was a glorified DLC made by Bethesda for Fallout 3, which I really didn't like. Yeah, I know, but bear with me. Fallout 3 provoked such a reaction in me, I just basically considered the franchise dead and stopped...

And let's not forget : -Alliance making with actual impact on the gameplay and storyline (like if you help some of the non-human NPCs along your way or not, with the consequences that can be experienced inside the brotherhood bunkers. I try to keep it as spoiler free as possible, sorry if it's...

My thoughts exactly. I have a game in mind which succeeded in that regard, Tomb Raider (the reboot from 2013). While you actually kill hundreds of people while playing a "fragile young girl", it never feels out of place so to speak, mainly because of Lara's voice actress. The first times you...

The consensus in the modding community is that horseback combat is a pain in the ass to make, because of the NPC specific behaviour, navmesh, road meshes and agression status of the ridden creature. There is a mod that implement agression for horseriders in Skyrim, and while it's technically...

58 gigs of textures, that's simply insane. Just to compare, the biggest retexture pack on the nexus is 4gb. The original textures were in 4K, I think, which is already huge and usually for very expensive, cinematic gaming rigs only. Honestly, who needs 5K textures? On the mid time, the fps drops...

I'll take a look at it, thanks!

I remember playing Resident Evil 2 and 3 with my cousins when we were kiddos, when our parents were away. Good times, and actually pretty solid titles with a great atmosphere. These are games I'd replay anytime with pleasure. Resident Evil 4 had a great, memorable introduction sequence, but...

As opposed to the Fallout live action trailer, or the Assassin's Creed blockbuster? ;) In order to truly give the Dishonored atmosphere in a live action video, it would require a lot, a real lot of money. And I don't think that Arkane Studio is bathing in benjamins for this title ; Bethesda...

The Dishonored franchise nails it 5 points, in my opinion: It doesn't glorifies violence, unlike 99% of its competitors. Sure, you can be absolutely brutal and kill every single one you encounter. You can, the devs let you do it, because they treat you like an adult, not someone they have to...

True indeed. Yet, the conflict in TFA is extremely simple, like in the previous titles : first order is evil, resistance is good. Good defeats evil by being good etc. A child can understand that. So, sure the violence is a little graphic, but I also remember an arm being cut in half, with blood...

Rogue One is actually a pretty risky move, considering that it's the first star wars who doesn't really aims at the children. Which is... surprisingly "brave", coming from Disney. I mean, hell, the movie is brutal and morally grey stories usually don't work with children. I'll try to find out if...

It would make for a very unclimatic confrontation with the Master, that's for sure. Master : Join! Die! Join! Die! Lone Survivor : YES. Master : Yes to what? Join? Join! or die? Die? Lone Survivor : YES. Master : Are you kidding -KIDDING- me, ME ? Lone Survivor : Sarcastic mode engaged. Hey...
