UGO interviews Jeff Gardiner on DLC

Doesnt change the fact that Wanamingos were supposed to die off during/short after Fallout 2.

Well, only according to Avellone's retcon in the Fallout Bible, which is not necessarily canon.

Perhaps this would be a better question, do people feel the wanamingos should return?

They're not as 'famous' as the Centaurs or the Floaters.
A new variety of mutant creatures, radiation or FEV based would be more interesting.
 
I wouldn't really mind wanamingos returning, although I wouldn't mind them not returning either.

Floaters would be nice, but I don't know if they'd made sense, since they originated as flatworms subjected to FEV at Mariposa, so they should be a fairly local thing.

Did I mention that CD Projekt sent me high resolution images from their collector's edition artbook for inclusion in the Witcher wiki?
 
I haven't noticed many responses to 4too's posts, but I really enjoyed this last one. Good show sir!

Life gives you lemons, you make good blog posts.

God, you are just like what would happen if Azrael (A guy from BethSoft Boards who does not use paragraphs. Instead, he puts a space between every sentence)) and some weird crazy poet had a baby. I get the god-mode thing, though. But the picture was pretty dumb.

EDIT: Also, god damn, what's with the Bush hate? He wasn't evil. He was just really stupid. I really don't see why you have to bring Bush into this. It's a fucking video game, for Frith's sake.
 
It makes sense with the original Fallouts to class a Gauss Rifle as an energy weapon since the main distinction is the skill associated with maintaining and repairing the weapon. In Fallout 3, I don't see a point to distinguishing Energy and Small Guns at all, except from a metagamey, poorly designed kludge for the system kind of way.

Well I'd imagine that the way a bullet would travel and a beam of light would probably be quite different and therefore aiming one or the other would be as well so skill or experience with one wouldn't necessarily help with the other.
 
Am I the only one that thinks extending the level cap is kind of a moot point? They already made game-breakingly strong level 20 perks that would pretty much annihilate any late game difficulty. That is unless you want to role-play a weak-ass. I love that they painted themselves into a corner and are now trying to paint their way out of it. Stupid.

I always marked it down to recoil and aiming.

If the gun fires a solid projectile (pistols, rifles, gauss/coil guns, etc) you have to worry about recoil throwing you off target, and having to hold the weapon correctly so you don't end up with bruises. There's also the aiming factor (bullets travel in a parabola due to gravity, and having to lead the target). Energy weapons (scorcher, lasers, etc) don't have recoil and travel in a straight line instantly. So you just 'point and click' with no messy target leading or managing recoil. Lead the target as you would with a slug thrower and you'll miss.

Plasma weapons are a problem though - they shoot a projectile (plasma) so should have recoil etc. But are energy weapons. :?
 
4too is a god amongst men. not that I always agree with what he says, but he says it all oh so well.
 
Wanamingos were a bad idea.

What does that have to do with anything?
 
lesseee...

wannamingoes were a local mutant branch of rats or something, and your quest in FO2 was to kill them all including their breeder so that you could sell the cleared out mine.


hellz yea, lets add them to fo3! they were only exterminated what, 20-30 years ago in an isolated mine on the west coast.

They were actually genetically engineered organisms created by the military before the Great War.
 
Soldiers are supposed to die? I think they train not to do that.

Also liberal/conservative needs to be fleshed out, they're pretty meaningless without explanation. I know you don't want to discuss politics on a video game forum. Just putting in two cents.
 
As 4too said, looks like Bethsoft will be selling god-mode come February.

When you already 19 perks in game plus a couple of quest perks, and have the potential to get 6-7 skills at 100%, plus bobbleheads to boost all your SPECIAL stats and skills as well, do you really still need to increase your level further? Hello to master-of-all-trades, Elderscrolls style.

It really annoys me how Bethesda actually take a risk and do something against the mainstream (i.e level cap and proper ending in a sandbox game to distinguish itself from the elderscrolls series) and then courtesy of fan complaints they do a backflip and get rid of it.

And knowing Bethesda the level won't be toggleable. You'll be stuck rising to level 40 or 50 or whatever they increase it to rather than keeping it at level 20.
 
It was hardly "taking a risk", Lingwei. RPG developers do this all the time (Obsidian, Bioware) as an incentive to buy their new expansion packs. People hear "more levels!" and go "wowza!".
