Lucky me then. I've only completed one playthough and started a second. I made a mistake selecting a Perk and was going to restart but decided to wait until the patch came out. Of course, the wait was much longer than I had anticiapted, but the new patch and - depending on the reviews - the...

First Impression: Well-designed advert, but very (re: too) action driven. I suppose it would be too difficult to show how all of the skills are relevent to this quest and spoiler-ish to give a hint of the multiple ways of making it through. I'll wait for opinions from others before...

Off topic & way past due, but if you are looking for a FPS-esque game that offers above average exercise for the mind, I would never hesitate recommending you give PORTAL a try. A short game that is available for download on the XBOX or I'm sure it can be found on the cheap. It was part of...

Agreed. Probably the difference between being passionate about your creation and following through with what you believe is a good game vs. promising the world, not delivering and then baffling & bullshitting your way to sales. A designer vs. marketer mindset, if you will.

It was Bill Cosby. I feel that it is quite possible to make everyone happy in a video game. They just have to make the differences between the difficulty modes more severe. First, design the game for Very Hard. Design it in such a way that the playtesters are truly struggling to get...

I believe the book is supposed to be the Necronomicon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necronomicon When you enter the Anchorage Memorial, you can find the Mirelurk King in the lower levels (behind the secret fridge, I think). After you get by the King, you will see a door that leads out to...

Superior marketing trumps superior quality, talent - or even common sense - everytime. Exhibit A: McDonalds. By far not the best hamburger on the market, however easily the most consumed 'meat' sandwich in North America. Exhibit B: Justin Bieber. A low-rent, pretty boy 'singer' that...

Maybe some mild baiting! :lol: No arguement. The Pitt WAS the best part of FO3 - and even then there was some room for improvement and was over way too quickly.

What battle? What is there to fight? Think you could convince me why I *need* to play on a PC anymore than I could enlighten you on the way of the console? OP: Skip FO3 unless you can find it for 50% off. I would suggest passing on all of the DLC except maybe the Pitt. New Vegas is much...

Wasn't really the crux of my post, just an afterhtought. Currently - clothes that give a +1 to Cha grant little more than a 2 point increase in the related skill. Good but not enough to consider carrying a 2 LB set of apparel. If CHA granted a 3 point deduction in the skill check threshold...

I'm 32 and play it on the XBOX 360. I've only had the game freeze on me once***. The only other bug I've seen so far is that the NCR & Primm attack ED-E when he is with me. I've heard a lot less complaining from XBOX users than the other platforms. *** ADD: (in 60 hours of gameplay)

Apologies if this was said a different way, but Charisma could be used to set the initial difficulty on Speech & Barter checks. For each point of Charisma, a skill check in dialogue is reduced (or raised) by 3 rounding up. Examples of what I mean using the ''Ghost Town Gunfight' quest. I need...

My thoughts, too. Also, I would like this to extend to my dialogue choices. I know it (at times) impacts my Faction Rep, but certain options are purely evil/cruel and should be hit with the negative Karma, too. Or the quests that I agreed to complete - but for a price - should not grant...

OJ Simpson has Good Karma. Nice posts, Nalano.

I don't disagree. I am still on the hunt for information about Jagged Alliance 3 as I load up my JA2 1.13 version for its annual playthrough. I would also happily donate money to help fund a remake of X-COM exactly how it was just with a reasonable graphical update and clocked to work on...

Felt the same way about Mario with Mario 3 being my favorite all-time of the series. Then I was playing Galaxy 2 with my son and was pretty blown away by the gameplay. Still incorporated all of the original elements that made them addictive, but put it into a superior format that allowed them...

This is where I have a different perspective. Although FO3 was a poorly written game that stepped pretty heavily on the canon of the originals, it introduced the concept of 'Fallout' to millions of new players. A good number of these players moved on to educate themselves on the lore of...

I suppose the balance comes from the likelihood that the majority of playthroughs would find the player killing enemies while completing a quest.

Nice. I've mentioned on other boards that item descriptions would be a big plus to have returned. Not only for the excellent reasons you presented, but also to give 'Perception' & 'Intelligence' something else to do besides make lines appear on a compass sooner or only being noticed when you...

Haven't finished the game once, so I haven't found a lot of the areas being discussed here. However, I can say already that the best DLC for me would: - expand on the Legion's Quest lines to make them a little more 'grey'. - add more depth to the existing 'secondary' locations. Further...
