( wow, i hadn't realized you could enslave LL! That's kind of cool ) Yes, i see what you're saying about NV. Karma in new vegas is broken as a function, for example you can kill people for no karma loss but taking their stuff from their blood stained selves would result in karma loss. But if you...

#Bits and pieces from an old story One of the interesting aspects of fallout 3- that is also one of its weaknesses- is that the real story or stories seem to have taken place in the past. Nothing important is happening to the protagonist or anyone he meets as he roams the wasteland but where...

I'm replaying fallout 3 after chronologically replaying 1 and 2. I've played 3 many times but back then i wasn't familiar with the series and thus never paid attention to it. Also, i'm doing an evil playthrough just to make my experience a little different. So here are some random thoughts...

Thanks for those! full video with slides at 35:30

Wow, someone voted for VB instead of both. We have a winner people.

same i remember reading something about westerns in a film book. It said that westens are interesting because they contain all the history of human civilazation. So you have, for example, railroad and guns and modern settlements as well as tribes, ancient weaponry and even prehistorik-like...

Of course it isn't like f3 but that's beside the point. About the rest of your points, i think you're being too forgiving: The arroyo tribals could have transmitted the memory of vault dwellers and kept contact with other cities, i guess, but there's no indication of that whatsoever. There's...

hehe, nice try. But there's no ambiguity or hidden irony whatsoever in the universe of F4, only black and white morals. There's hardly any transcendency involved. So it doesn't remotely look like a madman's dream in my opinion, and its inconsistencies ( logical or ideological ) are there by...

I have something more to confess actually. I think fallout and fallout 2 looked better than van buren, judging from that footage. It could be just that the 3d graphics of van buren haven't aged well, but i think the classics looked cooler.

This. The idea that if you don't like something that is currently mainstream you "hate" it is probably the most foolish thing and yet it is a very popular argument on the internet. - I don't like Justin Bieber - Shut up, you hater - Haters gonna hate Honestly, what is this travesty? Not...

I'm sympathetic to anarchism generally, but i think anarchy doesn't work that way, it requires a complicated process and a very strong community as a foundation. One cannot simply deny "civilization" and isolate themselves from human communities to reach anarchy. Because if you go there, the...

Still, the lack of muties with female names/behaviour seems a bit weird without an explanation like the one Prone Squanderer suggested in his first comment

Really? So, for all we know lieutenant might have female sexual organs? Somehow i doubt it. All the mutants with names -so all the important ones- look and act male. They even have male names like Harry, Larry etc ( these ones for instance hit on you if you're female ) I did find some more info...

There are some female nightkin in new vegas, though. Mainly Tabitha and Lilly. edit: yeah, you beat me to it

I can't remember any right now, but i do remember that the vault dweller tells the master to ask his female muties if any of them have ever been pregnant. So where are the mutated women? Are some of the lesser mutants in the classics female? Or do female and male mutants look simiral?

Predictably, everyone has voted for the last option, which i probably shouldn't have included for the poll to have any meaning. I mean, realistically only one of them could have been fallout 3, for legal reasons.

Edit because i accidentally posted before i had finished So i recently played Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines by Troika Games and i found them to be intelligent, innovative and brilliant. And though i don't know as much about Fallout and the...

After playing arcanum - even though it is an unbalanced game - i can't agree with that. In Fallout you have the "choice" to tag, for example, thrown science and first aid, to roleplay a doctor who loves grenades or sneak, pickpocket and traps to be a thief, but can you really? I mean, you could...
