I actually meant essential as in "immortal", not as story-essential.

Personally, even if Fallout keeps getting worse and worse, I see no reason for new Fallouts to cease existing, or to wish that. The only thing I wish is that eventually there is a newer one that improves upon what it's legacy is, preferably ignoring Fallout 3. But until that happens, I really...

One big trouble I have with essential companions is that it makes it harder for me to relate to them, to care about them. If I know they can't die, there is nothing stopping me from using them as just bullet sponges and put them in the front, because I know that's a winning move. Is it that hard...

Well, I meant exactly as a slavist. Why would you break your own commodity? As an evil character it could make sense, specially for the (admittedly very fun to play) stupid evil or sadist ones. On another note, I found some things that I think could be improved and/or are bugs. I'll explain...

Would killing the slaves make any sense? Aren't they useful alive?

I'm not sure if this was reported already, but there is a really small problem with the installer: it says the folder doesn't exist, when it does. It has no consequence, but it is slightly annoying.

Does anybody here remember if there was a fix to the awfully slow gameplay both Fallout and Fallout 2 have when running on WINE? I really don't want to reboot to Windows to play.

I've seen that happen before, but mostly with Marcus AFAIR. I never got a clue of why that happened, but know you are not alone.

Maybe I already posted this years ago, but I was watching Fallout 3's honest trailer, and got reminded of Harold becoming a tree. I might be bashed for this (?) but I liked that. I don't particularly recall the writing, so the execution might have been poor, but I liked the progression of the...

It is seriously funny how a game is railroaded as fuck because a path is harder than the other, while the alternative is somehow not, when it *literally* makes the player unable to choose a different path. I'm sorry, but if you want to put Fallout 3 in a better light than NV, you just chose a...

I played both Fallout 1 and 2 way after they stopped being "popular", and I enjoyed them far more than the new games. Anyway, is it worth your time telling us what to talk about? Also, if you don't care about the lore, do you actually need it to be Fallout? It could be anything else, you'd have...

This makes me think, in a "wild wasteland" kind, or a similar perk for a mod for previous Fallouts, I'd like to see a random encounter where you find dogs playing poker. Just that. The dog on the turret reminded me of that. Or does it exist and it's just a memory? Sounds like some of the funny...

I'll have to think a bit more about it anyway. Just had some big bad news yesterday and I might not be able to afford money on games :( Also, when I asked I forgot about the customs issues I talked about when you were giving out your Fallout copies, so it might be troublesome to get even if I'm...

TBH, if they do it less apocalyptic, that'd be good karma on Beth IMO. Fallout 3 didn't make any sense because it felt like the bombs fell half an hour ago, nobody acomplished anything. Having no rad-free water was the stupidest of the stupidest. Serious-fucking-ly, do you want to convince me...

I'd agree, but as long as there aren't several voices and 'styles' for the PC, it takes a lot from the actual role-playing. Voice can tell you if someone feels confident, afraid, maniacal, it can hint at you if that person is wimpy or strong, voice does a lot. Having it fixed to a single voice...

How much? EDIT: I wonder why would you want to take your hands off this precious stuff. Why, Sduibek, WHY?

I usually just decide on a character before starting, and then try to improvise what the character would do. Is my character a goody two shoes? Then for the life of him, he won't be helping Vault City destroy Gecko! Is he greedy? Then he might do The Brain's quests, in the hopes of a very...

A functional neuralyzer deleting all memory of what Fallout was as the opening screen, so I might actually be able to enjoy this as I do with GTA, instead of being relentlessly stabbed by Bethesda's rape to Fallout.

We can always start our own and do things right ;)

Shooting legs saved me quite a few times in Fallout 1 and 2. There are a few of this stupid logic bits that apply to the older games, though. The "sleep it off" clause being an obvious example. I mostly never used my precious stimpacks in FO1 and 2, I made the party sleep weeks on a row instead...
