    This might not be the most blasphemous game anymore...

    The best thing about Fallout 3 is it means I'm no longer an outcast for liking Tactics. I'm not sure we're there yet, but it is inevitable that the decline will continue to the stage where it's okay to like PoS too.

    Which historical era would you choose to set an rpg in.

    Like most gamers of a certain age, I have an RPG in production which may or may not ever see the light of day. The historical era it's set in is...now. Think about it - it doesn't take much in the way of fiction to tip the geopolitical situation of the world today into the perfect...

    RPGs can become much more “radical” but hardcore players are “resistant to change”, says Obsidian

    You know what, if you're right, then I agree with you. But I heard/read Tim's talk/posts differently to you. My interpretation is just him trying to make a game commercially viable, without watering it down for everyone else. The default always has to be the idiot choice - folk who want more...

    Gaping plot holes in New Vegas

    Yeah - though given some of the people who've been posting here lately, I should probably have included a smiley or two to make it clear (is there a Subliminal Marijuana Conspiracy smiley? There should be). The nuke thing was my INT 2 well meaning idiot's reason for directing the bombs to NCR...

    Gaping plot holes in New Vegas

    I put off playing New Vegas for all these years, on the grounds that I'd tried Fallout 3 first, and written off the series as dead. Since you lot didn't stop posting about it, eight years later, I finally gave it a playthrough...and played three times back to back. I don't think it's up there...
