Numbering installments in a series is to create association with the previous games in the series. It tells fans "if you liked the last one, buy this one". Putting a different name behind a new installment in a series indicates that it will be a departure from the previous game in the series in...

I'm being optimistic. Ideally there should have been an option to fail the quest and definitively "walk away". Maybe its not possible in gamebryo though, since they cut the similar idea of letting you walk out of the Mojave Outpost in New Vegas.

A similar bug happened to me the first time I played the quest. Most of the things are identical, expect phillipe has no dialog.

The best response in the quest is to do nothing, its the only way innocent people don't die. The status quo is maintained, as opposed to lowered, at the very least. Its a good commentary about how the wasteland is more realistic than a high fantasy RPG world, where the PC can and should meddle...

Broken Steel works a bit to fix fallout 3's ending (its still shit though, just slightly less smelly shit). The Pit is also decent story wise and has one of the few examples of a legitimately difficult significant choice in the game. These may be worth checking out. Point Lookout is meh. If you...

I think this is a good idea, but a time trigger may make the quests too hard to find. Maybe 2nd/3rd wave of quests should become available after : 1. completing the first batch of quests 2. entering the strip for the first time instead (with some vague hints dropped at the player to take another...

There's a good balance of how reactive a tutorial can be. For what its worth, its a great deal more reactive than the intro cave in fo1 and temple of trials in fo2. Not as good as goodsprings though. That said, being railroaded isn't nearly as bad when you have options.

Hawaii seems to be a good choice. It's iconic and recognizable to international audiences. Its military nature allows fallout to do a lot with its themes about the Cold War/War in general. It would logically get hit pretty hard, so they could make a more bleak post apocalyptic game without...

I don't mind the action element. The combat in the original games is easily the worst part about them (besides bugs). If you played FOnline, then you can probably understand more about why isometric combat is such utter shite. If you think about it, making a game real time doesn't change the...

Agreed. Honestly, I think the vault is a great piece of game design. It introduces the players to all the mechanics and systems, while offering a good degree of choice with immediate consequences, and opportunities to roleplay. I think what's masterful about the section is just how far the...

Another one: The fallout canon in letter is not very important, and I don't mind at all stuff like retconning jet and such. In my opinion, the spirit and themes of fallout is much more important, both in story and gameplay. For example, in the jet retcon situation, I didn't really mind at all...

Does initiating combat with one person out of a group ganking you automatically initiate combat with the other, or do they still do reduced damage? Also how long did it take groups to whittle you down without you responding? Were they wasting ammo faster than you wasted stims, or is killing...

Maybe overall but imo there are some really good characters in the newer games. 3: Butch, Col Autumn Vegas: Caesar, House, Benny, the King, Hanlon, all 3 DM companions, Mobius, all of the human companions but Arcade, Raul, even EDE kinda 4: Nick (but Nick is great, probably my favorite companion...

1. Fallout 2 has the worst main quest in the mainline franchise (yes worse than 3 and 4). In a game that offers the player so much choice, and consequence to that choice, the ending to the "meat" of the main quest only has one real resolution, and very limited decision making. Frank can't be...

https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSHO1BANG You can find the dev walkthroughs of the first quest on this channel (spoiler warning!). It incorporates plenty of RPG elements and even builds on NV's mechanics with mechanics like hidden skill checks. The RPG elements seem to be there.

Just like how super mutant suicide bombers are part a dying race that will never reproduce and lost a cause to live for, we will soon as the series we loved devolves into rust. It would be an honorable death.

Gameplay looks excellent. Really excited for it. However, the "team" page worries me (cant link because spam flagged). Supposedly the entire writing team has been retired? I don't know if its because that's all done and coding is all that's left. Either a great sign or a terrible one, fingers...
