That’s really the crux of what I was going for. I didn’t say it here now, but the intent with me pushing Wizardry 8 design is that if it had to be FPP, it could be done to a somewhat satisfactory manner. Of course a proper sequel should be isometric. The party is under control in Wizardry...

I kinda thought there was potential to make it a Wiz 8 like game since the trappings for combat already existed in Vats. It looks silly, but think about it. :lol:

There were a few, but I really loved Wizball on my C64. The world where the game felt magical and even a bit scary in its weirdness, it was inspiring to the young me and my cousing with whom I played it. It wasn't the best of games, but it's probably one I'll never forget even when I'll probably...

I think he meant the design values of Fallout (and Arcanum, which he has also mentioned). To my recollection he's been speaking about the design values, reactivity and humor with his examples. It would be wise of them to try and cater (at least in part) to the New Vegas audience, since Bethesda...

Voted for Fallout of course, but I wouldn’t want them to make a sequel anymore because it’d have to be a sandbox FPS. Rather an AA level spinoff that allows for different design methods to be explored (even if not going full iso/tb).

No, you wouldn't. I was being a bit hyperbolic with what I said on purpose. Of course you can list the features that all look good on paper, and for what its worth, it works for what New Vegas tries to achieve. But the issue remains that the gameplay is underwhelming for insisting to keep with...

I don't evaluate these games based on singular events or characters. And since you mentioned Caesar... as well written as the major NPC's in NV might've been, they always felt specifically written for the occasion, like being designed as events, as opposed to being organically parts of the...

I did. Overall I'd consider it a tie with the first game. Fallout has better fiction and is tighter and more cohesive as a whole, but there's just more to play in 2 whilst not being substantially different. And while the game has some of the worst ideas in the whole series.... like talking...

I don’t think karma is a waste. I think it just needs to be mechanically more interesting (and perhaps more ’active’ as a mechanic). I always wished karma would be something that guided the PC towards certain kinds of behavior instead of simply being the reaction from the world. It makes more...

Someone back in the day (2008) made a short video comparison on why 'Oblivion with guns'. It of course only touches few surface level things, but it's a good start. The rest comes naturally once one's able to get a grasp on the most obvious.

None of which were ever called for in Fallout. :shrug:

It does look that way, doesn't it? The game gives that impression. But it isn't the case. It's been a heavy point of contention for years that Fallout 3 takes place 200 years after the war and the place is still in the shape it is. Fallout 2 is 36 years earlier in the timeline. Basic dates. And...

No it is not, it can't be. It's too different (in all possible ways) compared to the original material than what Fallout 2 is. There's no (or very very loose at best) continuation of any kind in mechanics, narrative or the experience. Whether you like one or the other better is your business and...

They changed everything that mattered, everything aside from a superficial theme. In hindsight I would wager a low budget studio would have done a better job at making a Fallout game than what Bethesda did regardless of what individual merits Bethesda might've had at the time. And I wouldn't...

It is a bad thing in this context.

Religion teacher obviously takes the golden AR: This is getting so weird... http://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/2135184/church-blesses-ar-15-wielding-couples-wearing-crowns

You haven't noticed the similiarities in mechanics, playability, interfaces, intended core experience, animations, worldbuilding.... that might have led to the moniker (and it is quite accurate.... if you swapped Fallout coat in Fallout 3 to that of TES fantasy, you'd have a genuine TES game)...
