I stand by my opinion. The UI was a horrible mess in ME1, and the combat, ie gameplay, was not nearly as intuitive and responsive as in 2 or 3. ME2 went with some very shooter oriented mechanics, 3 added back in some more depth. I enjoyed ME1 a great deal, but I do not miss the clunky UI and...

How do you figure? Does an RPG need to have tons of stats and skills to be a RPG?

Yeah. As I like to tell my wife who is the worrying kind, we'll see when we get there, no point in worrying in advance about every potentially bad thing. I for one like Mass Effect, and I will go with a female protagonist in FO4 just in the hope of the voiceover being superior like in ME. Mass...

I guess it all comes down to investment of capital and the need to get maximum return. I know some pretty casual gamers who just game on the consoles. They buy games, but if they can't wrap their heads around some game mechanic or story or get frustrated, they just go and trade in their game...

I believe the stats are per piece, based on what we've seen. EDIT: APA MK2 ie X-01 Mk2 is top dog?

Actually the T-60 torso is superior: EDIT: APA = Advanced Power Armor, what the Enclave has in Fallout 2 and was is called X-01 in the trailer

Well in the military bigger number is not always better, even though it usually is. Concurrent projects, prototypes, competing manufactors.. add to that intentionally misleading names to confuse enemy intelligence. Still the T-60 looks a lot like the T-45, so it will be interesting to see what...

I don't mind the new variants, every single Fallout game has messed around with the power armors, and AFAIK there are no definitive answers about what the US army was issued pre-war. Just references here and there. The military loves it's variants, if you look at any military machine there is...

Wonder if the damage resistance is like FO3, where it removes X percentage of taken damage, or like Damage Threshold in F:NV where you need a powerful enough weapon to punch through, else 0 damage. Hope for the latter actually. Just watched some FO3 let's play videos, in one a lvl2 character...

Haha I thought the exact same thing. It is the most obvious thing to put there. Sort of like cheering for the house to have a roof.

Perhaps there is a proper branching storylines, so you can decide wether to side with BoS or The Institute.. or neither. That would be pretty neat. Say what you will of F:NV, but visually the Legion was pretty damn weak and not at all scary. At least east coast enclave looked dangerous. If at...

Yeah. I hope STR reqs on weapons are back in FO4. It's one of those things that makes your character build important. OTOH in Skyrim you can be the jack of all trade basically from the get-go...

A lot of trailers have weird stuff like that happening. I hope that they are captured with god-mode on and just show things that go boom to cater to the CoD gamers. It might not be what the game will be in the end. I was actually quite pleased at least that power armor is properly powerful and...

Just giving you my experience. But yes, women can be just as bad. It just mostly happens to be men working in the field. Interestingly, game studios from eastern europe and russia do not seem to have this kind of design problems. They are not afraid of realism or complexity. Again, to...

Yeah it's stuff like that that bothers me. The laser musket is not the worst offender, and neither are the over-the-top heavy weapons. I imagine personal powered armor would have been (will be?) a game changer that blurs the line between vehicle-mounted and personal weapons. To generalize a...

That's a good point.

Actually I just rewatched the demo and there was a baynet added to the pipe "rifle", and also an action shot of the PC hitting a raider in the head with the 10mm pistol. So that's good news. Yeah I expect weapon mods will be necessary. I hope Millenia from New Vegas Nexus just ports his entire...

Had to register just to get in on this.. I always check NMA from time to time, but never had the need to comment before. anyways. Short intro, 29 years old guy, first Fallout game was Fallout 2 (which for me still is the best, I was rather young and impressionable mind you) but I went back and...
