oh, they do. http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/210828/ (0:44)

isn't it, though? but i don't understand why we can't expect this level of quality. other art/entertainment forms (literature, film, etc) have been invaded by the dumbed-down blockbuster mentality, but masterpieces are still written. you've even got some of them finding mainstream...

You can read the script of that here: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/NhMyron.msg it's so far and above anything that FO3 offers. All the checks. The way he will talk differently to you based on your gender, intelligence, science skill, companions, etc. In F03 we might get an extra...

that's only one reason, and it's not even a major one - as stated, it's not an issue with being realistic, but internal realism. if you don't understand the difference between those two posts, there's no real point in you arguing for or against. more to the point, people rag on the game for...

While I agree with all of your points, this was my biggest pet peeve quest (with the obvious exception of The Family, which... yea). I couldn't believe killing him was a karma hit, and you're actually supposed to help him. I ended up figuring out a way to get magic ant drugs and then...

first off, i agree with the OP. FO3 and Bioshock play themselves. It's actually completely impossible to not win Bioshock given those reincarnation tubes every 5 feet. Since enemies retain damage, you could theoretically kill a big daddy simply with hit/die/hit/die/hit/die. But i don't...

You haven't taken an exact count, yet you know he's wrong? I don't know if he is or isn't, but he sounds about right. Remember that many buildings also have multiple entrances. Also, if I remember correctly, certain areas (like the college/university, and I think Bethseda offices, and the 3...

And who exactly needs more loot? I've got lockers full of loot, and I leave almost everything behind. I dread seeing 'valuable' loot, because it means it's one thing closer to me needing to fast travel back home. And I don't even know why I do this - I've got enough loot to trade for...

So only the actual designers and investors can criticize the game? May brahmin fart in your general direction.

You're missing the point. Obviously you can kill 99% of the people in the game - it's practically an FPS. But to you, it sounds like we're complaining about the other 1%. What's the big deal, you think? Kill the other 99%. But it's not about killing the 99%. It's not even about killing...

I don't enjoy blowing things up in FO3. 1. Too often, this results in an enemy failing physics class and getting stuck on the ceiling, stuck in 'hyper spasm' mode, or otherwise flopping around 2. I don't destroy cars because I hate that they have mini-nuclear explosions. Honestly, i've...

Barely. Certain skills in vanilla FO3 are... simply not important. Sure, Joe might decide it's 'important' to him, but the base gameplay design renders him wrong. Case in point - barter. I'm no packrat, and I leave almost everything behind. I've still got a locker full of valuable junk...

Where in the world did I talk about finding bobbleheads? I think i've got like 4 bobbleheads. I'm level...12 or so. My lockpick is 100, and my science and repair are almost there. There is no way I won't have science, repair, small guns, and lockpick maxed out within a few levels. I have...

There is a huge difference here. FO2 is open ended, so yes, IF you have prior knowledge (ie, played it many times before or read a game faq) you can jump ahead and get some great weapons and armor. But no first time player will do this by chance. This isn't game breaking, it's a facet of...

oh how i hated this elf quest. i made harold grow faster - i decided his effect on the world around him was more important than his well being. of course, he ended up being happy... i like that this is a truly 'gray' moral issue. the options are great - help him die, kill him horribly...
