Very very cool. Nice job!

I totally see where you're coming from and don't consider it ad hominem. It is probably pointless for me to try too hard here given the general tone about Fallout 3. I just consider this a small step in the right direction rather than a huge leap backwards. As for the shooter thing... Far Cry 2...

See the thing is, UncannyGarlic (and I dig the handle by the way...my grandpa has a garlic and wine festival every October)... as bad as the totally rabid Bethesda types are... and the reviewers who only played a couple hours are (and yes...I agree the beginning is the only decent part of the...

I find the idea that Bethesda bribed the New York Times to give Fallout a 10 to be so ludicrous as to be deeply entertaining. The game is a 7 or 8... not the 1 it is so frequently made out to be here or the 10s you all complain about. For my own part I'm curious how many of the folks with...

I doubt the ESRB would've allowed kid killing with that system. They're another factor that the folks who were hating on this game since before it was released tend to forget.

I think free roaming and doing the sidequests are the best bit about Fallout 3. I started with blowing up Megaton and went from there.

I've been trying several of those at once, Flambo. Great list.

The truth, as previously stated, lies somewhere in between the two bandwagons.

Megaman still gets made...

I think there's a line between 'this game is pure Bethesdan perfection' and 'worst game ever.' Some folks forget there are two sides to it.

After Below the Root, Might and Magic 4/5 and 6 are probably my early RPG 'gaming Grail.' I loved Fallout 1 and 2. I don't particularly have any nostalgia for the systematic parts of Fallout 1 and 2 though. I loved what you could do with the dialogue and I loved the setting. The setting...

I'm pretty damn sure it'll be fun. I'll probably play the hell out of it. Some people will hate on the Havok there too I imagine. I also bet it'll be much better point and click than RPG. What Fallout 3 could absorb from something like that would be smoothness. Even though I don't...

In the end I think you're stuck with a Mac v PC problem, Mikael. You're not going to win. It isn't 1997. I have a hard time finding a tabletop game that isn't D&D idiots. Fallout 3 is clearly very profitable for Bethesda. On the other hand... old school roleplaying (like the Mac in some folks's...

I'm not sure they could have completed Van Buren into a Fallout 3 that would've pleased me or you or 4.7 million fans at that point. I loved Fallout 1 and 2. Tactics was so so and BOS was horrible. Things have shifted. You're working towards making this game better and that's a wonderful...

If Van Buren was commercially viable it would have been developed. Because they thought they could turn it into a huge hit?

Of course they did. They have also brought 'Fallout' to a lot of people that never would have experienced even the slightest touch of the concept in the process. They also released a buggy game with a deeply questionable main quest. My hope is that expansions and modding help complete its...

Andale. Tranquility Lane. The satellite weapons platform tower. The Republic of Dave. Wheaton Armory.

I don't really think of either of those as the competition.

Only in a sense that this game had to be the same type of game as the first two. I didn't go into it with a preconceived negative opinion or the idea that they make games exactly the way they did ten years ago. I agree with folks that the main quest is deeply flawed (and I'd have loved the books...

They could have the Mr. Gutsy ignore armor shots too.
