    What the hell? Communist... (spoilers)

    This whole issue was argued over in another thread, but I have huge issues with these guys. A) What were they doing in DC anyway? Canon talks about the physical battle between US and Chinese troops in Alaska, but never mentions it in DC, which is fine, I suppose. Maybe that information was...

    Gripes about the writing

    It's just a big huge "WTF" is what it is.

    Gripes about the writing

    Sometimes it doesn't even have that much, sometimes you get one line and it leaves you going "WTF" like you could have done or said so much more. You sit there feeling like you just missed out on something major by only having one dialogue option with such and such. Take Lucy West for example...

    Favorite Locations

    Ehh, I disagree. Yes, only one way in and out, no way to be snuck up on, but you always need a backup route out of any place. It's easy for them to get pinned in by Super Mutants or Raiders, also they are near a water supply, which means Miralurks are close by. There's a Raider encampment not...

    Hilarious video.

    Very funny vid, the NPC's in this game are such a joke. Speaking of Radiant AI and the magic that it does, I was playing yesterday (before I finally snapped and decided that the game isn't worth playing anymore) and I was running in one of the underground subways. I was playing on Very Hard...

    A genuine, worthy sequel

    But the problem is that the bugs that Fallout 3 are not NEW to Bethesda. Isn't the point of developing new games to fix the mistakes of the past? Not only that, but improve on the system? I would say from an Elder Scrolls point of view, Fallout is a significant improvement on Oblivion, but...

    A genuine, worthy sequel

    I give up on this game. It just froze again on the screen for like, the fifth time since I started playing it, this time seems to be permanently frozen. Plus, people, somewhat important people, keep disappearing. Like the dude who runs the water pump, he's just gone. No idea where he went...

    99 Awesome screenshots from the Wasteland

    Wow, how do you get your pipboy to look like that? That's cool. Nice screens, but I have to agree with alec, I've seen much better.

    So, uh, did anyone like it?

    I agree. As a game on it's own, it's okay. Not great, but not entirely horrible. Flawed, but definitely enjoyable at times, though annoying at others. I hated the dungeon crawling feel to it, for example, but loved exploring the wasteland. As a Fallout game it fails, majorly. As a game in...

    The obligatory Fallout 3 : Radiant AI hilarity thread

    Really? Wow. I will have to keep an eye out for this then, but that's closer to Grayditch you say? Hardly 'fresh' out of the Vault, you'd have to travel a bit to get there. But thanks for the info! I'll keep my eyes peeled for this one. Coincidentally, I think I screwed up. I had Dogmeat with...

    Pic of the day

    Y'see son, it's all about the birds and the bees... *shifts uncomfortably* Y'see, sometimes, a man, and his Yao Guai, well they develop these special... Feelings, for each other. And sometimes these feelings manifest themselves in different ways. Now, sometimes they manifest themselves in the...

    Funny and Stark Example of Beth's Laziness...

    It breaks immersion to have to realize things 'as yourself' rather than have your character learn about them in the game. What's up with the bomb? It assumes you'd seen it. Maybe your character can, indeed, see the bomb down below behind Simms, but what if he can't? Taunts are still in the...

    Students of Fallout

    Wow. Simply wow. Reading the article, I paid special attention to the forum posts by his students. Specifically; That reads like a modern day gamer, for sure. My father's little 13 year old step son would fall directly into that category, as I did the exact same thing with him, and...

    The obligatory Fallout 3 : Radiant AI hilarity thread

    I'm pretty sure that's made up. I have not run into any raiders who can dialogue, they shoot first, talk never. You can talk to regulators and Talon Mercs, though. But you wouldn't have enough karma one way or the other to have either of those groups meeting you at the gates of Vault 101's cave...

    You can even sleep in the West's bed, with Mrs. West still-rotting corpse on it :P

    How are some people maxing out ALL skills?

    I'm not sure what you mean by this statement. You are saying that none of the skills affect how much you see of the game? Or that they, if set to zero, will allow you to see 50-60 percent?

    How are some people maxing out ALL skills?

    Wrong. Medical is necessary for healing certain NPC's, for example, Timebomb - granted, it is not necessary to complete the game, I merely speak on what is necessary to do everything in the game. To pick every lock, hack every computer, and heal every sick npc you can, or gather evidence...

    Dungeon crawler

    Exactly. I have never felt so frustrated as when I just got finished brawling my way through a stupid subway or building, fighting hordes of fire ants, raiders, ghouls, radscorpions, stupid radroaches, and mutants, only to find out that I wasted health and ammo to find... To find.... *looks...

    How are some people maxing out ALL skills?

    Even without maxing out every skill, the game is quite easy. I had very little trouble - most locked doors, for example, have keys. And even still, if you can even get your stats within, say, five or ten points of where they need to be, you can get some items that modify you enough to reach the...
