I'll grant you that (from what I've seen and read), Bethesda really did dumb-down Oblivion (and Morrowind) when compared to it's predecessor.

That said,I LIKE FALLOUT. Unless everyone is just plain SCREAMING about how bad it is, I'll probably buy it.

Of course, with the current graphics trend, I'm ...

50's and 60's "programming" is all but non existing and would likely have been "punch card" on mainframes (DOS did not appear for many years), so from a technological apsect you would already have to bend the rules. However, one also has to remember that development in the Fallout universe does ...

Exactly

I've always liked minigames. Especially hacking/computer minigames. I thought they were a lot of fun. But metaknowledge could get in the way, you're right. However, I would like more interactivity.

Well

...I like FO: Tactics, too.

That said, while FO2 was realistic in that your posse did whatever they felt like doing, I'd rather have squad/tactical control of my companions. I like tactical games (as long as they aren't FPS...then there's too many durn controls), and I love Fallout. Now ...

Hey! It's me again. Mods, if I'm spamming, please let me know. I just looking for a few answers...not a massive game spoiler.

I've been to Vault 13, and I know I need a part for the computer. I thought I'd check out the abandoned military base to the west, but I can't figure out where to drop some ...

It just can't be more advanced than DOS. After all, this is Fallout, and computer languages were not terribly sophisticated in the 50's and 60's. Mostly machine-code, IIRC.

Besides, if they used a *real* language, then only the l33t3st of the l33t would be able to interact with the computers ...

I don't get a lot of random encounters, and most of them are wierd.

See, this guy has Luck 10 and Jinxed. Nothing but wierdness happens around him. For cryin' out loud, the Rat God killed HIMSELF.

Anywho, random encouters are rare, and they're usually traders, or people wanting food. I've also ...

Well, I got my Highwayman. Thank the powers that be for trunks. I've got WAY too much loot.

Anywho, I just recharged it with the cells that the mechanic threw in when he fixed the car and sold it to me, but now I can't find any cells for sale anywhere.

Also, will this thing run on laser ammo ...

I downloaded it and it looks quite interesting. Haven't played it yet. But I have a question...how the hell can I attack!? I'm armed, the weapon's in my hand but I simply can't hit any target...

Hold down your left mouse button (LMB) and make a motion with the mouse. This was supposed to ...

I'm seeing good and (IMO) bad ideas...

...but I won't go pointing fingers.

I would like to see FO3 turn into a TES-like first person game. You could even run the guns like in Deus Ex, where the higher your skill goes, the smaller the targeting reticle becomes.

How about some cybernetics? Maybe ...

Think I'll start a thread on this guy...

Mulligan....
Strength: 6
Perception: 6
Endurance: 5
Charisma: 4 (he doesn't talk much)
Intelligence: 6
Agility: 10 (I love AP's and I just found a breakdown of martial arts moves)
Luck: 10

Gifted
Jinxed

The wierdest things I have ever seen happen to this ...

For loads of funny goodness (if you don't mind reading combat text), make a character with 10 Luck and Jinxed. I got this:

Rat God critically missed and bit himself in the head.

Quite the contortionist, wouldn't you say?
Immediately followed by:

Rat God was critically hit in the head for 92 ...

Why not play FO2 again? I'm planning to do so after finishing Fable.

I am. *grin* Hence the question. I still haven't beaten the game, and I need an alternative to Morrowind (spellcasters level awful slow). Besides, there's enough there for quite a few plays.

Want to have some Interesting Times ...

Anyone know where I can get a legitimate (not pirated) unpacker for .rar files (and maybe some others)?

I'd like to get in on the testing of Telvannis, too.

-Loki

Thanks, guys

Ah, good ole mom.

I'd forgotten how much fun Fallout 2 could be.

So, now I'll just wait for 3 (and my new puter so I can play it...) ;-)

-Loki

How about 1st person AND Isometric?

Well. Having played Morrowind (my puter won't run Oblivion) and both Fallouts (though I have yet to beat 2), I can see the benefits of both veiw perspectives.

But what if you could do BOTH? Maybe explore the world in first person, and combat in isometric? Or ...

Patience, Padawan

I, for one, would rather wait, chewing my nails, for Fallout 3 to hit shelves with not even the slightest hint about it, until 2009 (if neccessary), and be assured of getting an excellent, well-tested, well thought-out game, than get Fallout 3 in '07 and have to patch it 9 times ...

Hiya. I'm in Den. I've got a problem. I triggered the ghost girl quest, but I can't remember where her locket is. I remember seeing a twinkle the last time I played (a few years ago), but I can't remember where it was.

Anyone know where the locket is?

Also:

What effect does the Graverobber Karma ...

Hello? Northmarker?

Okay, so I've been reading a guide on Tamriel Rebuilt, and it's fantastic. I accomplished a whole lot more in an hour after reading that than I did in 20 hours on my own.

Now the problem. I drop my northmarker in an interior cell...and it doesn't show up. Double-clicking on ...

Huh?

Another bone:

In the landscaping tutorial, it says, "You'll want to load your plugin for this, so load MyPlugin.esp. (see the World Building Tutorial."

Huh? What world building tutorial? The search function doesn't even get a hit off of "world." I can't find a "world building tutorial ...
