No man - if you're doing it properly, a guitar is a lover, not a pet.

I do seasonal work - so very long shifts in summer to make up for the fact that there are no shifts in winter - away from home, which make it impractical to have pets, so I had a GPD XD instead. But I made the damn thing run Fallout whether it liked it or not, so it's better than a real pet anyway.

It all makes perfect sense if you think about it. After the bombs dropped, most people's mother-in-laws were killed. As house proud as everyone likes to pretend they are, we all know we only ever really clean when the in-laws are on the way. Since most in-laws were killed centuries ago, the...

If only you'd met Kerghan at the Divide instead of Ulysses. That would have been the perfect end to the Fallout Trilogy.

I don't know, I just think you're setting your goals a little low. If the worst atrocities humanity can commit are a price you're willing to pay, then why not go the whole hog and join Ulysses? I still haven't finished New Vegas with the NCR ending. I can't bring myself to join them. There...

One might suggest that if crucifixion is okay for the scum of the wasteland, you might take a look at a group who committed genocide multiple times, keep both worker and sex slaves, and go on a murder-rape-pillage spree of the Mojave with brainwashed teenagers abducted as children might be good...

Honestly, too many moving parts for anyone to have any idea how balanced any particular combination of these tweaks would be. The only way to figure this out is try it and see. But instinctively and sounds like it might transform Kansas City from a Tower Defence simulator into a Save Scum...

While I admit it's pretty shit, the combat never bothered me that much. It is kinda weird how badly they managed to fuck it up though, especially considering they followed up Arcanum with ToEE.

Kinda gave up on the wider Retro Gaming world after CPC Zone died. Every so often a community dies, most people migrate somewhere else, but you lose a few people. Then the community they migrated to dies, and most people migrate somewhere else, but you lose a few people. After a couple of...

I like New Vegas, but it's not an RPG - it's the second best spinoff of an RPG. Fallout 4 isn't a game, it's a virus transmitted by big pharma to increase sales of chemotherapy drugs by inducing brain cancer.

If it's Fallout, Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, Arcanum, or Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, it's an RPG. If it's something else, it's not an RPG.

I think your memory is just fuzzy. . I recall no such thing for the robots.

Fallout Tactics had the perfect combat for an RPG, so it's kind of a shame it wasn't an RPG itself. So, that's the obvious change to make - give the RPGs the Tactics combat. Alternatively, make New Reno it's own game. With the possible exception of Tarant, it's far and away the best role...

1 - My last playthrough of Fallout 2 was...right now. I'm nearly finished, just about to head to San Fran. Nostalgia for something you're doing right now is definitely a millennial attention span thing. When I was a lad, you could only have nostalgia for things in the past. 2 - Black Isle...

If you think Bethesda fans respond harshly to criticisms of their games, you obviously never met Roshambo...

Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption was a good game, and the ridiculous plot, stupid purple prose, thou, thees, and therefores only served to make it better. (Though, even I thought making Christof canon in the clan novel saga was a bit of a dick move).

Try asking MCA on Twitter. He's answered stranger questions than this in the past.

Old World Blues is awesome. And shit. The writing mostly worked for me. Presenting everything with the over the top goofy style to distract you from some of the darkest elements in the Fallout universe works really well. It's Fallout 2 to a tee. The Think Tank would be very black and white...

I hate the whole casino thing. The reason I didn't side with House in my first playthrough is he kept strongly implying I'd end up with a casino, which makes siding with him worse than siding with Legion. What the hell is wrong with Obsidian? New Reno is the greatest cRPG location of all...
