No, you. Please tell me how a strong character in FO 1 isn't strong in FO 3. Please tell me how a weak one in FO 1 is still just as strong in FO 3. Look, I know. I sat down before beginning my piece and played FO 1 in multiple ways (tried to do 2 but ran out of time) and have been building...

Sorry, I have to strongly disagree. Building a character that was powerful in the originals will be just as powerful in 3. And by the same token, building that flavor build that was fun and challenging in the originals is just as challenging and often in the same way. If anything, some...

Seriously? You try to have a discussion and this is what it comes down to. I'll be done with this thread. I probably should have known better to try and be anything but negative towards the game. Was fun for a bit though.

Yes, because uncontrollable instant death is a fun thing. Sorry, but no. Not to me. I like to have a little control over whether I go from full hp to -100. And the systems are very similar. AGI is very important if you use VATS. But I forget where I am. Yeah, simple game, very easy.. I...

I found it to be quite fleshed out. A handful of terminals and notes scattered about plus the obvious occurences I experienced I could easily imagine what was going on. Did you not find all the medical journals? The terminal data entries? Did you honestly take a step back and objectively try...

Sounds like the one I am playing. If you build a classic Fallout powerhouse build based on your knowledge of the skill system then you will find it pretty easy. I'd wager you could play FO 1/2 without dying more than a few times, barring some unlucky 1-shot crits. But for those fresh to the...

Forcing? See.. that's just it. You aren't FORCED to do anything. And please, let's not get into 'omg how can they survive' debate because you can nitpick the entire franchise to death if you chose. And how do you even know those suriviors are real? I mean.. isn't it full of hallucinogenic...

There are a lot of things that don't show up as quests at all that may have in the originals. I don't think a wiki entry is the be all end all judge of content, especially when one game is only a week old and most people haven't done nearly all there is to do. And if you wanted to be...

And the point still is, no matter how much logic one side brings to the table it can still be dismissed with a simple 'I don't think so'. Honestly, I've seen far more solid logic supporting the current implementation than I have against it. But that doesn't sway people at all. Anyone who...

If only it were so simple. There is no 'logical' way to discuss something so controversial that hinges largely on opinion. 95% of these so-called discussions boil down to: It doesn't fit. Yes it does. No it doesn't. Yes it does. Why? Because A, B and C.. and D isn't out of reach...

No, it does not have DX10 support and never claimed to.

While the head is usually the most logical choice, and I mean.. that's fairly realistic, it's not always the ONLY choice. Crippling the legs of a Deathclaw can be invaluable. Shooting the arm of a Super Mutant Brute with a minigun to make him drop it can be invaluable. Shooting the grenade in...

Being ridiculous is trying to equate Frogger to a splinter cell of the BoS. It's what I would call a strawman. Frogger doesn't make sense so neither does a few BoS soldiers fighting mutants to try and help people!

Wrong. Most new games don't support all the fancy multi-GPU configurations out of the box. A driver update to enable it is not uncommon. In some cases it's as simple as configuring the setup to recognize the .exe being launched so that it kicks into the proper mode. Anyone who has ever...

And it's my opinion that it isn't your place to deny. Not for me. Not for anyone else. Only for yourself. And based on the canon ending of FO 1 which led to the Brotherhood taking a more beneficial role with the surrounding communities, I do not see much 'logic' supporting that Lyon's...

Thank you. It's not decided by anyone. Not by people who love the change and not by those who hate it. And I would say the reasoning behind their existence is quite 'logical' if you are receptive to it. Much moreso than any of the examples given about Fallout 2. But it's going to come down to...

No need to put words in my mouth. If you want to leap to this erroneous conclusion, then by all means. Let me put it plainly. You don't have to like it but not liking it doesn't make it go away. And I'm not sure that 'wut' insult is really called for. I could imagine myself receiving a...

Someone could very easily make the same argument about Fallout 2 compared to Fallout 1. But I guess since it was still published by Interplay it makes it okay? I mean, really. Talking Deathclaws? How is that not any more out of place than a well explained (in game no less) division of BoS...

Obviously you didn't forget it. ;) And some people around the office think it will contend for GOTY, at least in its genre.. albeit a genre that has little competition.

There is no dichotomy. It's not either 'as bad as EA' or 'not at all'. Fallout 2 suffered from more bugs, less consistency and relied less on its powerful setting and more on its zany shock value. As a whole it was still a great game, but I cannot objectively deny the dropoff of quality and...
