6 Foot Invisible Rabbit

Wow. She kick's major ass. We need more of her type in the Arab nations. Strike that, we need more women like that all over the world.

Barely.

Agreed.

Yep.

Jade Empire's equipment system was very poor.

NWN 1 is DnD 3.0.

NWN is also turn based.

But... but... that would be too reasonable of me. I like to stay in character.

Alan, I only go by what evidence I have. If there was a wider sample of Real time SPECIAL then I would use it but there is only 1 game that uses SPECIAL and real time and well, the combat sucked in it.

You got a point there. Still, lets not be blind to their short comings.

X Men legends was an okay game but I wished I could have made my own mutant main character than all the premades.

There are still quite a number of improvements needed to the KotOR games.

Normally when I run a campaign I end it with the player characters are about 14 to 16th level. The closer one gets to 20th level the more ridiculous the fights get.

Yes they are. I have yet played a game in which I had a godlike character where I had fun playing it. Where is the fun if you character sneezes and 20 enemies die? There is no strategy, no risk of death, nothing. Each and every fight needs to be a life or death situation. Combat and killing should never be taken lightly.

I am not just talking about TES games for their style, but also Sea Dogs, PotC, and their CoC game. Also they have already stated that they are going to use the same styles they feel comfortable with from their previous titles in interviews about the subject. Going by the statements that have been released by Bethesda one can easily come to the conclusion that they have no interest in making Fallout 3 recognizably Fallout. I don't deal with hope. I go by what information Bethesda developers have officially released in interviews and the style of their previous works. Hope in one hand and crap in the other. See which one gets full first.

I think it is the setting that is the problem. Somethings just don't translate well into a game, Console, Computer or otherwise.

No, something original. Franchises of Star Wars and Star Trek are way to overdone.

Godlike characters are boring.

I think we need more games like Wing Commander and Freespace. Its been a while since we had a really good space sim.

Lets stay away from a predefined back story. I want to play my character and not the designers.

The problem with the KotOR series is that in both games the main character is too freaking powerful to be of any use in the next game if you want to maintain any sort of game balance whatsoever. I think the best option is to end the KotOR series with 2 and start a whole new Star Wars CRPG series with the concept of the player using the same character in all three games (design it to be a trilogy from the start) and figure the balance from there. That would be the smartest thing to do. Of course this is Lucas Arts and they are not exactly smart.

If they are such huge fans of Fallout wouldn't they rather have a group of developers who know how to make a proper Fallout game then try to impose their own design style which does not fit in the style of Fallout. Seriously, Bethesda's design philosphies just does not fit in the style of Fallout 1 and 2. I don't see Bethesda changing in what they are comfortable with for Fallout 3 so I don't see how it will even be recognizable as Fallout except in name only.

FO: Craptics, FO:POS, and Lionheart all sucked. I just want to know why the hell did Bethesda wanted the Fallout franchise in the first place. Its not like they need the Fallout name to sell a Post Apocalyptic game of their design. They have a strong enough following without the need to use a name of a game that has been dead years.

I think it is kind of cute that Shadowpaladin and Kirottu thinks that FO: Craptics was real time when it was CTB.

Anyone who says "trust me" should not be trusted.
