again and again about turn based /real time...(long)

[Guest]

Hi everybody, first time i'm here even if i played
fallout 1 & 2 during about 500 hours each ! And I didn't know this site ...

So, here's my idea : reading the flame war about turn based/real time, i remembered of a game i played and which solved the problem : Xcom Apocalypse in which you can choose before each mission if you want to play RT or TB.
The system was really well balanced (for example, you could guard a door, even in TB, as the enemy turn could be interrupted on a success on an initiative test...). I think it would be a good system for Fallout 3 (as i'm a fan of TB games).

But this is not the main thing, I hope the versions other than US of F3 will have a better support : i'm french and french version is really a crap : tons of unique bugs, dialogs messed up, children removal, etc... So for me THIS is the important thing...

Sorry for being so long, if you reply me, please E-mail as well as i can't come back very often.

I most certainly agree. I bought a UK version without kids and although the game was still good the dutch manual that came with it was really crappy. The same goes for the dutch manual that came with Planescape: Torment. I feel that if Interplay is going to support other languages they better do a good job at it or don't do it at all. I for one am going to try to get a US version of FO3 when it comes out.
