All of this time I thought this was about the game Hard Reset.

Encounter maps that match the terrain in the overland display. *Also F2 shipped with a bug that influenced the frequency of encounters on the map based on CPU speed... which made them happen far too often when traveling on the overland map.

Those might only be evidence of pre-war populations. There would be large multi-square mile regions of uninhabited ruins found all over the continent.

Yes.

Welcome aboard.

Bethesda wanted to re-skin Oblivion; they did, and that's it. They bought the IP to strip mine it; tossing out the platinum while looking for fool's gold.

Same here—and I wont. :yuck:

I've never played a Far-Cry title/10.

IIRC, in the unpatched Fallout 2 the overland random encounter rate is affected by CPU speed. So when installed on a modern (IE. blisteringly fast) system... it can mean having encounters every few seconds during travel on the overland map.

The original Fallout overland map tracked the terrain underfoot while traveling. Travel speed was affected, and in the case of encounters (or just choosing to stop and explore), the game would use a terrain appropriate encounter map. Alas this was lost in Fallout 2; perhaps they didn't even...

Having played Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Fallout:Tactics, FO3, FO:New Vegas. I do consider the original first game to be the best of the lot.

I've no qualms with one-click fast travel——provided that the developers account for impassable obstacles along the route, and for the effects of travel time on quests, timers, NPC dispositions, as well as expiring drug & spell effects. Also adjusting the frequency of random encounters to be...

Fallout 2 had the same issue; different render settings on the sprites like Vic and the blonde ring girl.

As I recall, Todd Howard stated that the world was initially a lot bigger (and mostly complete) before he made a call to cut out quite a bit of it as simply not needed. :(

No I do not; what games? Do you mean the Interplay or the Bethesda titles? It's still traveling; a method that pays you for the trip. Same as with traveling by ship (in life, and in many games that have it). What's the point here? People got jobs on trains, planes, and cruise ships—and they...

Again I don't see the significance of this. What does it matter that there more than one means of travel? Aside: The caravans serve as an alternate way to travel and get paid for it, and travel in armed company. I see only a cosmetic distinction between the aforementioned travel events...

How so? [specifically] I don't see the relevance; they each fade away from the gameworld into an abstracted travel UI, and they each resume at the destination (excepting for random encounters along the way in the non-Bethesda games). They also each advance the game clock during travel. It...

Both of which were in Fallout 1. *But also...Welcome to NMA. :ok:

The account owners have that option. It's pretty good as-is when installed. Users can add custom rule/actions. The UI has a power-button icon to enable or disable the filtering per-website.

U-Block Origin I disagree; many times even Youtube videos are blocked where having a decent VPN alleviates that hassle.
