Fallout 2 on Fallout New Vegas

Temple of trials serves as a way to make sure you know how to use the interface. Honestly I've been through it about a hundred times and I still can't resist the temptation to disarm all the raised plates.

Haha, me too. Once I get high enough Trap skills, I go back and visit it again.

"Chosen One! What are you doing in here?? Our village is dying! What possible reason do you have to be in here again??"

"I'm disarming the traps!" :D

I started a new game (Fallout 2) last night. Now I'm going to go very slowly and be very careful when picking perks. I tagged SG/STEAL/SPEACH. 5.10.5.5.5.10.7 (special stats respectively). Got Bloody Mess and Gifted. Doing a proper run is important because I need to find how things really are in the inside in NV. Like how the Van Graffs are scumbags from the toe. I'm yet to see how the Khans came in to the drug picture.
Anyway, is it only me that think those world map name lables are poorly designed? I mean, the name lable 'SIERRA ARMY DEPOT' looks so bad (all of them). Like the devs totally rushed that part. The maps and the locations are marked on the pip boy so shouldn't they also be in a single format (font, font size). If I dislike anything, that comes #1..

Oh great! Open the Pipboy 2000 map and click on any button to fast travel somewhere. Yep, look there, right side. Next to the button. What the hell?!
It should be like,
(O) [REDDING]
(O) [VAULT CITY]
(O) [NEW RENO]
not like
(O) [REDDING]
(O) [VAULTCITY]
(O) [NEW RENO]
 
The concept of well designed GUIs didn't come to be until very recently. And it's not even that widespread yet.

I don't know if this is a troll or not, but are you honestly complaining about that? WTF?

-Yep. I guess that's the thing. It kinda look weired when everything else (pipboy, inventory, etc.. GUI is well assigned and they forgot an important part. They Could've just kept some formatted text there.

-Whoa! Cool down bro! I ain't trolling here. I was thinking about it. I may be wrong in my way of thinking compaired to yours but that doesn't make any sense right? I though a mod could fix that and if I could 'retexture' it with a mod, I'd not scream here and go do it myself. Thanks for posting the images. I'm on S40 so it's a negative for me.

Of all the things to criticize...it's the fucking text on the travel screen? What?
 
His criticism is false too. If the text all had the same design and size, almost none of them would be able to fill up the appropriate space. They made them all variable font sizes so that they wouldn't waste any space.
 
You're right, I would have agreed with him and then it would be 2 pages of NMA lampooning us for a minor criticism.
 
Well not much i can add to this fairly complete discussion except this:
-The temple of trials while a big pain for everyone wanting to start the game clean over wasa HUGE boon to this newbie bag in 1999 since it taught me how to use slots and skills etc.
It really does seem designed to do just that, force u to learn the interface.
In 1999 thats exactly what I needed. :)
