Jeez guys, it's just a "blinged out" Pip-boy. You act like there's never been anything even slightly stupid in a Fallout game before Fallout 3. Look at the LE BB Gun, capable of splitting armoured Super Mutants in half with one pellet.

My problem with it is it's called the "Pip Boy 3 Billion" What. The. Fuck. Better writers pl0x? Obsidian can write, so I have little doubt this was a Bethsoft idea. If it wasn't... SHAME ON YOU OBSIDIAN!

Obsidian"s writing is good ,but not perfect...Alpha Protocol had some wtf writing moments too.

Yeah, Alpha Protocol was the weakest I've seen Obsidian's writing, but it was made by a different team then the one that's making FO:NV. Also something really stupid like "Pip Boy 3 Billion" sounds like something Bethsoft would do, like the Fat Man. "Hey guyz wudnt it b kool if u culd like shoot nukes?" "Hey guyz wudnt it b kool if u culd get 'da pip boy 3 billion'?"
 
Even stupid stuff like that could be turned into something good for fun.

Imagine if the pip-boy had an additional ability, or was some kind of gesture between some of the bosses that run the casinos. Maybe even like forming an alliance, that particular pipboy could be like deal.

Now imagine a quest that in either side you put yourself, or just go purely neutral, you've got the chance to participate in the deal accorded at a certain place, where you could either be siding with one of the bosses, or just go by yourself and steal it. Even more, put a third party that's looking to steal it!

Just letting imagination flow a bit.

He's not protected, you can kill him and some boring lady takes over.

What source of income has Three Dog? How does he survive? People give him caps to thank him because he broadcasts the sparse/non-existent news of a disorganized area that apparently has no connection with the rest of the continent?

BoS is protecting him - it would be safe to assume that they also supply him. I mean how much can he eat?
Click to expand...

I guess he started on his own before the BoS thought of using his places as strongholds. What about then? How was he able to have the whole thing started?

Unless one day TD contacted them and said "give me a radio and feed me and I'll do free ads for you".

But it's not just his survival the problem. Having a radio that doesn't have real news to broadcast is a silly idea in the (supposedly) harsh enviroment of the Capital Wasteland.

People (at least here) bitched not at the lack of humour, but rather it's quality, which was on par with the toilet stall graffiti.

Now now then, no need to degrade toilet graffiti that much.

The stuff on the walls and doors of the toilets in my university library is occasionally pretty good. There are even a few poems inscribed, and if my memory does not forsake me, I think I've seen a bit of Goethe scribbled as well.

As for F:NV, it would perhaps be fair not to blame developers and publishers as much. All they do is create a product which appeals to what costumers want. Judging from the success of F3, that's the kind of game people want nowadays. If dumbing down F3 in F:NV means it'll sell more copies, there is no reason not to do so. It's like vanilla; nobody anymore knows its actually black, and everyone expects it to be yellow. Make a vanilla product which isn't yellow but contains black spots of vanilla fruit, and people start complaining that there's sand or 'some weird black grit' in their food. Make a game which demands people to actually think, and they'll call it 'inaccessible'.

Keyword "joke" that is really all this is.Most people bitched about fo3 not having enough humor,now that it's being added (tranny sm) ...people are still not happy! :crazy:

Fallout 2 become very tiresome with it's many jokes and references, some were quiet funny and some make me fee like "give me a brake...", overall it was too much of them. Fallout 3 just had really crappy ones that could be maybe funny for Todd and his buddies. Like the whole game.

No because we need radio in Fallout or it wouldn't be FALLOUT!

Apparently it's only a voice and she never "physically" appears in the gameworld. I must admit that the most satisfying moment in the whole game was blowing Three-Dog's head off. Even if you could kill his replacement, they'd probably have an endless stream of clones to fill in.
 
The more I think about it, the bling out pipboy doesn't seem so bad. I'm curious about the radio stations though, and hopefully that are used to better effect than in FO3.
 
more accessible to what? the deaf dumb and blind? are people really this spoiled into gratification that fallout 3 needs more accessibleity?
 
Exactly that...not up to using stereotypes, but Bethsy is all about Tommy. They reach the nowadays-pinball-wizards, as a flipper-machine likes to tell you about the curve, where to hit, and what to do for high-scores :lol:


...let´s just hope, for their sakes, and frankly, I would not want to be "them!", that they put as many not-so-cool things in as today allows . Even if they wanted to....video-games indeed are done(meaning:having a realistic chance to be published) for kids, or foolish mid-twenties refusing to make themself as independent as one can be these days, anciently being called "growing-up".
Darth Obsidians´ job is to make a crappy developer-enviroment to something McGyver.
