I think Yes Man, and the way securitrons in general were handled, is actually a very good object example of the difference between programmed personalities and actual AI, that Bethesda's writers can't seem to figure out. Yes Man has a rudimentary personality, but he has huge flaws that he can't...

well technically I followed that principle with the entire product, not just the features. :)

well we know why they added them in... they think the Fallout setting is cyberpunk whenever it suits their writer's fancy

Well the analogy isn't that bad, if you take into account that the innovation required to get from vacuum tube to iphone did not occur in a.. well.. vacuum. Innovation in the way that the institute is doing it, while they are concealed from the rest of the world and hidden from the economy of...

If anything, I prefer +X to a SKILL on clothing, which would make some sense on things like a mechanic outfit or surgeons scrubs etc. I wish none of the clothing had +X to SPECIAL other than STR or maybe AGL boosts from things like power armor. I'm kinda torn on the +1 Perception on hats from...

7 Years in development, and they couldn't rename a simple array to "weapon enhancement" from "magic" Do perk effects fall into the same array of magical buffs? If so, it would explain a whole lot about their inability to figure out what perks actually are.

I wish the suits would actually listen to the FPS crowd regarding actual FPS games instead of poluting cRPGs with their repetitive boring shooter stuff. As an FPS game dudebro myself, I am incredibly disappointed with the recent offerings in THAT genre. There is no recent AAA game that I think...

they are probably referring to the 128bit memory bus on these cards, vs say the 256bit bus on the 970. You can think of it as akin to the width of the pipe the memory will travel through, so just like with water you can push a much greater volume through a larger pipe in the same amount of...

I skipped the last 2 of their Fallouts as well and only sprung for New Vegas. It's just not worth it to me to pay money to legitimize what they've done to the series, and maybe get a couple hours of actual enjoyment out of the games. I'm not in the camp that claims there is no redeeming value...

If you can swing the extra 50 dollars or so, I'd go with the evga gtx 960 sc 2gb with the acx cooler it seems to benchmark like a 770 or slightly better in some games from personal experience I'd say it will do pretty much every recent game that actually utilizes the gpu well in 1080p with...

I can see it from that side too. If people badger George RR Martin until he is forced to make Jon Snow not dead, I will be pissed. :0

ahh the tried and true "wait till it's out to pass judgement" line. oh how I missed that one.. When will the world learn that seeing something for what it is, and calling it out for being that thing is actually a virtue, while blindly purchasing products so we can see if they are good is not a...

While I understand that angle, I'm talking more specifically about certain canon changes that they can and do make that render the result something inherently un-Fallout. Something like Liberty Prime skirts the edge: his existence is plausible in the universe of Fallout but makes fairly little...

It is a vague term, but if you think of canon like how we treat a living document, ie the US Constitution, you will probably end up in the right vein. If the legislature tried to make stupid amendments to the US constitution that broke it, or added in things that we're obviously diametrically...

There's a reason we use the term retcon, instead of calling everything currently considered canon to be so without qualification. If I don't play Fallout 4 (and never will) it doesn't matter to me in terms of my ability to play and enjoy the actual Fallout games, if they were to change how Jet...

They don't own the canon. They own the intellectual property. Their legal right to use the NAME "Fallout" on their products does not give them the legal right to retroactively redefine what Fallout means, or what previous installments did. If I own the patent to some device like a Toaster, I...

Simple question: If Todd Howard takes a dump and calls it Fallout 5 with the blessing of Bethesda, does that make it the next real Fallout?

There is a noticeable difference between 'Fallout' as a setting and set of concepts for making a cRPG in that setting, and Fallout as a franchise of games of varying quality. Fallout 4 fits in the second type of 'Fallout', but not the first. It tries pitifully to ape the setting without...

They could have put liberty prime in a giant hamster wheel and connected it to the drive shaft via some gearing. Then hang a commie on a string in front of him. That would cover one big vertibird tho.. Guess you'd need more Liberty Primes.

I really can't refute it. :(
