It's not a matter of blame or responsibility. Whoever is responsible matters very little when everyone is dead. The fact is that humans should never be trusted with technology that has the power to wipe the planet clean. Technology is the enabler, for without it such destruction would simply be...

Not sure if I agree here. Speaking of my own experience, my last FO3 playthrough I enjoyed specifically because I had so much options for being an opportunistic SoB. I agree with you if you're talking solely about the main quest (which I thought was kinda weak and boring), but FO3 did a pretty...

Sci-fi settings often feature things like power armor which are capable of absorbing some small-arms fire. That might make super-charged melee weapons feasible again.

The Legion is the only faction that takes steps to avoid the same mistakes that humanity made before the Great War. Caesar recognizes that technology mixed with the human tendency towards conflict is something that makes another Great War inevitable, should humanity go down the same path. By...

Skyrim is one of those paradoxical games where I'll spend hundreds of hours playing it, but never feeling quite satisfied. The eternal feeling of "what might've been". Something that truly hurts Skyrim is that it is very serious from the start, unlike Fallout, and from that point onward...

Fallout 3 got me into the Fallout franchise to begin with and I played the hell out of it. If it weren't so damn unstable on my PC, I'd still be playing it. I have to be honest, I'm not going to watch a vid of 2 hours of long, but I'll atleast say what I liked about Fallout 3: 1. The...

1. Those are all very good reasons why people would dislike Mr. House, but that doesn't change the fact that they dislike Mr. House, which is exactly my point. The indifference of towns like Primm, Goodsprings and Novac doesn't change much. (I get back to Primm/Goodsprings endings at point 4.)...

1. This is false. Mick: {Amused}People say Mr. House hasn't been heard from in a while. Good riddance. Francine Garret: {Cheery}People are saying the Securitrons are acting funny. {Cold}I hope that old Geezer, House, is dead. Might give the locals a chance to take control. Julie Farkas: If House...

Ok. This is turning into one abomination of a discussion, and deciphering what points are being made is getting a real hassle. I'm going to do my best to make things orderly, but if it turns into a clusterfuck again I am going to stop beating the proverbial dead horse. 1. Does House have...

Replace Assaultron with Sentry Bot, Mr. Gutsy, whatever. The bottomline is, RobCo clearly developed weapons for the U.S. military.

Because you're proposing to make him dictator of the Mojave. I'd say his psychological profile is rather relevant. Unless you think any old psychopath should be ruler as long as "it doesn't affect their performance"? You don't consider zero popular support a measure of his performance? Giving...

We'll take this in two steps: 1. House is clearly a narcissist. His ego is through the roof, but he also lacks respect for anyone. Examples of this include his obituary, in which he refers to all inhabitants of the Mojave as "ingrates". And no one with a healthy ego would write such a thing...

In an open field? I'd say it's a coin toss. - Equipment is of roughly the same quality, however the NCR is probably better outfitted for a frontal engagement. - Legionaries are more experienced and better trained, thus would be more capable of carrying out drills and manoeuvring under fire...

This is the logic you need; House acts like a warlord of the same colour as Caesar. He has a personality that can only be described as narcissistic and megalomaniacal. And he has a terrific sales pitch to influence a naive courier. There's nothing in the game that suggests House has the best...

If you don't wish to discuss it again, why bother replying at all? Anyways; The end product when we enter the Mojave as the Courier is: - That House has lost the Platinum Chip to Benny. - The Three Families are scheming against him and he is unaware. - The NCR and the Legion also want him...

Leaving pre-war matters out of the picture, what has he really achieved post-war? He started with a semi-intact pre-war city and in 200 years turned it into a den of vice which does more harm than it does good. It's ran by three mafia families, who profit of other people's misery and financial...

House's ego is even bigger than Caesar's. Have you read the man's obituary? (Which he WROTE HIMSELF)

I know how much we like to rip on Fallout 3 here, but I don't think I've ever played an RPG where the morality system didn't show similar holes.

I think it'd open many avenues of roleplay that F:NV has lacked. Basically, the Raider/Evil side could be made into something interesting, with the Powder Gangers made into a non-pathetic faction, the Khans, the Raider gangs. An alternative to chaos/anarchy could be a truly independent Vegas...

To be honest, it's pretty clear you really dislike Fallout 3, and I think that's why you're not willing to forgive the same sort of flaws that you see in New Vegas.
