Fallout Dev Profiles files a section8

[Odin]

Our beloved Fallout Developers Profile has now gotten it's 15th Fallout Developer, this time it's Gareth 'Section8' Davies who worked on Fallout Tactics at Micro-Forté. Here's a snibblet:<blockquote>What's your favourite Fallout memory?

Probably just random moments of mania induced by the game dev experience. I'd try to relive them, but most of them are "had to be there" kind of moments. If you stay awake for a couple of days, drink lots of sugar and caffeine and then think about your workmates acting out portions of the game with sock puppets you might get a bit of a chuckle, but to me it was hilarious in the true sense of the word. </blockquote>Sock puppets are kewl!

I enjoyed reading that one. After reading all the FOT profiles I really wonder why they did mess it up, they all sound pretty enthusiastic about Fallout. Well, maybe a FOT 2 would have been really great, we'll never know.

Actually, FOT would have been a lot better if most of the team were as clued-in as Gareth.

sorry for the ignorance, but which aspects of tactics were so lacking?

There's a search function, and it's all over the archived forums at length.

In short, I'm a stubborn, opinionated and mildly fanatical fuckwit that would be a displeasure to deal with.

Heh.

In your opinion, what are the key ingredients that every RPG should have?
Choice and Consequence.

I think that's a brilliant three-word summary of the core of what an RPG is (or at least, should be).
