If all women in the Legion are slaves, so are all of the men (except Caesar himself), as I don't see much difference in being pressed in a military service against your will or being expected to birth children. The men in the Legion have no freedom and no real power either, its not like some...

What if one of the conscripted men doesn't want to be a soldier and wanted to spend time with his children? He'd probably be executed.

I agree with this, gender roles don't necessarily equate sexism. While women of the Legion don't really have much freedom, neither do the men, and the women are at least kept safe, rather than conscripted. Also because women likely make up the large majority of the population at home, some...

I was playing the PSX version on the PS3, I lost my disk, so I downloaded the one from the PSN store. I heard the PSP version updated a few things, so that might be interesting to look at, but I don't have one, although I'm sort of interested in seeing if I can get one cheap to play Persona 2...

After playing the hell out of Alpha Protocol for the last month or so, I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics for the first time in a long time and so far it is actually better than I remember.

I can understand wanting to modernize games some, but even if you do I greatly prefer Bioware style 3rd person to first person. This can even work with games with shooting, just hit the aim button to bring up a first person iron sight view. Being in first person all the the time is a...

It looks like a trade hub to me, it has important branches of the Gun Runners, Crimson Caravan, and Van Graffs, as well the local business and the trade with Zion. As for tourism, the NCR population is large enough and wealthy enough this point that tourism is viable and there aren't a lot of...

Of the drugs in Fallout 2, Psycho is really good (+50 Damage Resistance!). They made it lame in the newer games. Also remember to hide around corners and doorways and pop out to shoot then move back into cover during the same turn, and to go into your inventory to spam healing items when...

Demon's Souls Persona 2, 3, 4 Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne Suikoden (also Suikoden 2, 3, and 5) FF VI FF Tactics Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen, Ogre Battle 64 Shadow Run Then obviously the top multi-platorm western style RPGs: New Vegas, KOTOR and KOTOR 2, DA:O, Alpha Protocol...

House doesn't have any sort of hidden agenda, he tends to be very honest if you talk to him. He mostly wants to create a independent, fairly libertarian, city-state, driven by tourism, commerce and eventually technology and industry while maintaining an alliance with NCR as a valuable trade...

Betraying the treaty with House and having him assassinated is treachery. Outsiders attempting to conquer an area against its will are foreign invaders. So yes, the NCR are treacherous foreign invaders, whether you agree with their motives are not. Plenty of economies survive on trade and...

To me House isn't about ruling though, he's basically just another flavor of independence, basically the Yes-Man ending except with one more capable scientist and business man to help the area. Vegas is developing without him and will continue to do so and he hasn't given any indication he'll...

House isn't remotely evil. He works for his own agenda, but allows everyone else live their lives as well. He gives the people of Vegas some level of security while asking for basically nothing in the return, other than be allowed to run his businesses. Maintaining his power and eventually...

The older Fallout games definitely borrow from a Boy and his Dog. A Canticle for Leibowitz is also a very big inspiration I think. I think New Vegas borrows from McCarthy, but not so much The Road as much as his Neo-Western books like No Country For Old Men or All the Pretty Horses.

Complete Ultima VII w/Serpent Isle.

I recently bought this for $12 and it is great. Couple thoughts related to somethings I've seen posted in this thread long ago and the game in general: The game being relatively short is an advantage, because you can change things so much each time through, its nice not have dedicate tons...

Plasma Defender with Plasma Spaz and Math Wrath and tons of actions points was already a pretty potent combo for tearing enemies apart piece by piece with targeted shots, and it should be even better now.

What I like about the 9mm and 10mm SMGs is that you can run full speed with them drawn (12.7 and .45 don't work like this though, but have massive DPS), which I find really useful in indoor areas like vaults and caves. They aren't great against high DT enemies, but there are really that many...

I'd like to see something like: Charmer, CHR 8: Your fame gains are raised 50% and infamy gains are reduced by 50% (honestly I'd something like this to be a core game mechanic, where each point of CHR modifies it a certain amount) Pardon, CHR 10 For some reason the leaders of an...

I liked Dead Money. The writing was good and I appreciated the difficulty, as I found the main game too easy. Some of the new perks and loot are nice. I love Old World Gourmet, it let me make a character whose primary method of healing was drinking heavily. Light touch and And Stay Back are...
