Sorry, been away for a while, real life kinda went crazy and I've been making some changes to how/where I publish my shit. You can find the first post here: http://www.writiosity.uk/2016/02/reconstructing-fallout-3-part-1/ The rest are all there as well, just hit next post. The site's still...

Ah yes, them. Been a while since I was last seriously into this stuff, the brain is weak lol Also, I think my favourite chapter might still be the Howling Griffons, simply because I like their colours, but also because they're a fan-made chapter who were effectively canonised (I remember the WD...

Remember seeing them in White Dwarf issues occasionally, weren't they the deep yellow with a black fist on the pauldron?

"Guys, I don't think we streamlined it enough!" *shudders*

We can but hope that Bethesda learns something from backlash like this. But at the end of the day they know that whatever crap they shit out for the next game will still be hyped to hell, will still sell millions upon millions of copies, will still be lauded with unwarranted GOTY awards... so...

Yeah, Dawn of War is totally worth checking out, you can often grab virtually the entire collection on Steam for a good price during sales.

Mm, delicious Baneblade. Imperial Guard had some nice stuff once GW pulled their fingers out and properly developed them.

Well, I already created my own faction to replace the BoS in Fallout 3, so probably easiest to just link that here: http://www.radkatsu.uk/2016/04/reconstructing-fallout-3-part-12/ Provides power armoured guys without relying on breaking previous lore, and gives a different perspective to the...

JUST AS PLANNED.

Nope, beyond superficial similarities like both having Orks or Chaos. Warhammer is a fantasy realm based on a single world, 40K is a separate entity set across the entire galaxy. Unless they changed things in some recent update anyway. I recall hearing they'd completely reset everything to zero...

Long time ago, like early-mid 90s onwards until maybe 2000. Eldar, some Orks, occasional Chaos (mostly in Battlefleet Gothic). Friend of mine worked at our local GW store, he was also one of the few people who managed to get one of those insanely awesome 40K Thunderhawk Gunship models when they...

No worries, didn't mean it like that either lol It just seemed like you took my post to mean the story would have a specific karmic tint to it when really I meant it'd be one of many possible options depending on how the player decided to do things. On Dune: I need to grab the rest of the books...

Never said it'd be explicit good/evil, you should know my stance on providing options if you've read anything I've written on the subject (my extensive series of posts on my site for example). I just mean you'd have that route available to you if you want to try it. edit since Hass posted at...

Basically, as long as you can engage your brain and think logically and critically, even of things you enjoy, and don't simply lick Bethesda's ass crack every time they shit out a new game, you'll probably get on okay. Maybe.

Another idea is to have the player themselves potentially be the catalyst for Humanity 2.0, by joining forces with the (whoever is doing the synth/cyborg stuff) faction and working with them. All sorts of morally and ethically grey areas could be explored by having the player be complicit in...

What can change the nature of a man? Wait... wrong game, sorry. On that subject, if anyone needs me, I'll be over here playing Planescape :D

Money. Pure and simple. Cashing in on a name (hi Ghostbusters) to make money off nostalgia. Seeing stuff I watched/played as a kid/teen back in the day being ruined by Hollywood (and the game equivalents like Bethesda) for a quick buck is depressing as hell.

Well, others already covered what I'd have said re: chosen one trope, so I'll just say yup, that. Fallout 2 uses the trope but it handles it well, you're not simply the chosen one from birth because you're the player and therefore automatically assumed to be some godlike special snowflake ;p

It's depressing to think of what Bethesda used to be capable of, compared to the dross they put out now :(

Albeit while also making you THE CHOSEN ONE, because lord knows we can't have originality or a character who isn't SPECIAL from the start. Bethesda's overuse of the chosen one trope is really tiresome.
