wooty woot, i've been thinking of something theoritical to post about fallout, its been on my mind for a few days and now i'd like to get some opinions on it, feel free to flame the fuck out of me =) (that went smoothly didnt it? hehe)
Anywho
When you play fallout what is your character choice?
A: Strong Guy With the Big gun, blows threw shit, doing simple quests every now and then.
B:Strong Thief, sneaking around, doing all the quests you can, killing as much shit as you want, when you find it important to kill, or you just feel like killing something.
C: diplomatic guy, you carry a gun, but you dont really find it that usefull, you do all the quests, know the game in and out, your character is relatively weak, so you go around trying to avoid fights, but kicking plenty of ass when its time to kick ass
Also note: that i never use "company" characters in the fallout games... i like playing games where my character is alone and kickass, now, heres my preference so you can argue against it =)
I like being the strong theif, stealing ammo and stimpacks off of everything, when in battle, i fire, stimpack my health, save, end turn, repeat untill ass has been thourouly kicked.
Now, along with your favorite way of playing the game, i want you to tell me what you think about all these characters
Which is most common? Why is it common, what makes it common, shit like that. Also, i have this to say
Most games find the easy way to get through quests, etc...
1) Quest requires you to get something for someone, or do a task
2) You simply have to eliminate something for somebody, sometimes a part of a task in a quest
(Now, this is the basis of the discussion)
Now, as i see it, most games are based on the killing part, then kinda throw in some stuff to do other than killing. Now, i have to admit fallout is thee best game i have ever played, becuase you can do a lot of shit in a lot of different ways, but sadly... i have tried to go through the game without a gun (or my fist) and cannot seem to do so. maybe its just my impatience to do the game, but there are things, like the alien filled mines in Redding, that require you to kill some strong sons a bitches... there is no other way around this besides killing them yourself...
Also, i would like to see it where if you wanted to kill someone, you could walk into a bar, and say the target you want to kill is sitting at a table with some friends... so you go find the biggist ugliest son of a bitch in the bar, and say that the guy over there said some really bad shit about your mama, like "fill this space with really bad shit" and then the big bad ugly fucker would go do your job for you.
Things like this should be implemented more, for people who like to out-smart the game, i would be one of these people.
what do you think about this? Do you think fallout had enough of this to entertain a diplomatic thief, like me, and if youve seen it in other games, please give examples.
Or do you think most games lack the fighting side? would you like to see more badass weapons and 10 more ways for someone to die. (This also applies to thieves, who want 10 more ways to kill someone instantly, shit like that)
