For what you're working with, that's pretty impressive. Also, always a MINIMUM of 7/10 for Riot Gear, requisite. I'll say 8/10 for this one, as I've always had a soft spot for people showing attachment to their player characters. (For the record, I believe Alpha Promethean is currently rocking...

A devolution in some directions even as the game evolves (perhaps mutates might be more thematically appropriate?) in so, so many others. It's perhaps too easy to make cynical cracks sometimes (seriously, Mr. Hines, I do not think that word means what you think it means), but that doesn't change...

"If you want to look for hidden blocks and collect coins all day, then that's what you're role-playing. If you want to go shoot every goomba in the face with a fire flower, then that's what you're role-playing."

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I get you as far as that first bit goes. As to the rest though: Don't get me wrong, the power armor isn't my biggest gripe, necessarily, and certainly not a big gripe on anything but a very relative scale. It's just that the thread is about canon in the F4 trailer...

I never shoot for Skynet without at least 115%. The brainbot you get from using the next brain down beats out most of the joke NPCs and maybe the NCR cyberdog, but it's not worth much compared to anyone else.

Hmm. I used to run F1 on a 64 bit 7 machine without issue. I even installed it straight to Program Files on c://. I'm not very well-versed on the tech side of things, but you might try just installing it like I did, in the stupid way that everyone tells you not to. Out of curiosity, were...

Bags kind of suck, but if you're the sort that gets meticulous about inventory arrangement or collecting, they can be handy. For roleplaying purposes, I used to have an Action Historian character that kept a survival kit (lighter, rope, edibles, rad chems, first aid kit, nuka, Cat's Paw) in one...

I was in Lexx's boat. I think I must have been about 12 or 13 when I saw my first mutant outside the watershed in Necropolis. That first one is pretty shabbily dressed and not weilding a weapon, so I think my reaction was mild awe and the thought that I could probably take her. Then I met Harry...

There are a good number of quest mods thar add new things for you to see and do, which may help. As for roleplaying, there is, in my opinion, a serious degree of self-denial involved. It's easier in tabletop games, where your options aren't pre-programmed, and sometimes in video games it comes...

Well... not necessarily. The Vault 87 mutants do complicate things and cause no shortage of headaches for canon purists, but if anything, you could build an argument on their presence being one of the factors that's kept the Capitol Wasteland so comparatively fallow and chaotic. It still...

Pretty sure it's the dad (or mom, if you choose to play as a female). I could be wrong, the kid may have just grown up to really, really look like one of the parents. It makes more sense to me that they'd let you play as one of the characters you customized directly instead of making you do both...

It's theoretically possible, though usually outside clothing and non pre-approved items weren't allowed into the vaults, iirc. It still stretches disbelief that three identical 200-year-old leather jackets in near-perfect condition made their way into the gang's hands, and that nothing similar...

I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, honestly. They seem to have come a fair way from 3 and Oblivion, and the cryo thing actually already seems to be a much more sensible, serviceable jumping off point than Fallout 3 (or even Fallout 2) gave us. I'm not expecting the moon and the...

Yes and no. Some people are still sore over the degree of that that went on even for Fallout 2, but it is sort of an accepted truth that any ongoing franchise will experience growing pains. The commoditization inherent here, though, the increasing prioritization of action and lulz over narrative...

I'd graciously ask that comments like "hipster" and "mediocre writer" be left out of this. If you two want to debate on that level, you're better served with AOL Instant Messenger or /v/. I agree with you in that you need to leave yourself a measure of flexibility in an ongoing saga, SMBC, but...

First of all, I agree that you're entitled to your opinion, and there's nothing wrong with enjoying Fallout for the reasons you describe, though I myself continue to play the games while sharing many of Walpknut's reservations. It'd be foolish and elitist to judge someone for how they get their...

I'm no modder or anything, but from what I know, +1 for "it should work fine." You're definitely right about being able to dominate the board without using both sets, too, but a little omnipotence never hurt anyone if that's your style. While we're on the subject, though, you'll probably want...

Awww, we've gone a whole day without any bickering. Let's not pull out the pointy sticks of poking just now. (Seriously.)

In some ways, it's bound to be. In others... well, far be it from an NMA moderator to make cynical predictions or anything.

I think it's going to be unratable, in that my enjoyment of it and the pain it brings me are going to be locked in an eternal quantum flux.
