Emil Pagliarulo on the Gauss rifle

Going from writing about elves and magical wands to enhancing (raping) the fallout lore is obviously not something Bethesda exel in (unless it's raping). But I guess that's old news by now.

I wonder what they manage to fuck up next...
 
Hard to say... if they give as much attention to the next Elder Scrolls as they did Fallout, I'm sure it'll be hideous.

The story of Zenimax/Bethesda Softworks is an interesting read, if you're bored. Sad part is, the guy could prove it in court, but got his evidence illegally.

I'm not even mad anymore. I just find the antics of Beth amusing now.

It is both amusing and sad. Bethsoft has literally raped this series for all it's worth while at the same time put in a little effort as possible and people are kissing their asses for it.

Please, oh please, Bryan Fargo... get Wasteland back and show these hacks what the game is supposed to be like.

You know its really fun when everyone starts to complain about GFWL, but no one is really either surprised or really bothered about the fact that Bethesda was it that signed the contract with them for exclusive content. Now I am not saying that its Bethesdas fault completely. But seriously. To sign a contract you always need 2 people. And this GFWL thing seems to be a totally short term thought for fast money from Microsoft.

They'd really like to fix this for us, but they're busy riding a horse with gold armor to the bank while buying the rights to Arcanum and Planescape.

Woot!!. Is this for real?
‘Cause if it is, I’m going seppuku right now. I can’t even imagine the way they’re gonna rape the concepts. Hubris could be a mild word to describe it.

Please, tell me it's a joke.

Ah gott, that sounds like the pyramid scheme from hell. Find one good IP, rape the living hell out of it, videotape it, and use the profits to find another, and do the same.

You know, let's not even talk about it. Planescape, Bethesda? <shudders>
 
I'm pretty sure it was a joke.

Unless you also believe that the Bethesda development team rides around on horses.

You’re right.1-2 more examples like this and you would think that RPG games are heading towards an IDIOCRACY state.
 
Haha, don't worry it was just a joke. I think that my bodily functions would all simultaneously shut down if Bethesda ever got a hold of the rights for those games.
 
Huh, you just scared the shit out of me 'couse I also thought it's true:P

No more this kinda jokes 'couse my pump's gonna give up for sure :crazy:
 
my turn:

Planescape:Bethesda Version

Dak'kon: Endure. In endurance grow strong.

Nameless One: [Intelligence] So you say in endurance I grow strong?
 
:rofl:

On topic, it's a bit disconcerting that the limitations of consoles influence the PC version so strongly. Had it been a major technical problem, it would be understandable. After reading about some of the mods, it seems it's relatively 'easy' to add new ammo and weapon models. Like this, it seems they didn't want to ruffle console players' feathers, releasing an uniformized version of the DLC on every platform.

Talk about 'dumbing down'.
 
2mm EC... doesn't EC mean Energy Charged, meaning that each round has the energy required to be shot?
Hmm...
 
In the normal fallout discussion section I've asked exactly that question, what does EC stand for. Occured to be it could be "Electron Charge", like the Electron Charge Packs used for the gatling laser! I've modded the game so the gauss uses EC Packs instead of microfusion cells.
 
Planescape is not for "sale", at least not separately, since it's part of the D&D license, and thus can only be licensed from Atari. If anyone is going to license a D&D title, it won't be a Planescape one, but rather one of the more popular ones.

Don't know about Arcanum. Dunno who owns it, really.
 
Yeah, Planescape and Arcanum wouldn't be very useful for Bethesda anyway. Bethesda could use a classic sci-fi setting or a supernatural setting. Something like that would have more of a mainstream appeal.

*Sheathes his tanto knife and breaths in relief*

Pfew! That was close. You have to be more thoughtful when making statements like the previous one as some guys might have a weak heart.


@Twinkie
Haha, that was a good one. It summarizes well Beth’s vision about the role of skill checks in the game. *thumbs up*

@ your evil twin

So let me get this straight. Where original developers use some shoddy excuses to justify their choices, modders come in and correct their mistakes. I say, Bravo to you sir!
