  1. ^ Seconded There has been other mantras. Nationalism, tribalism (which is responsible for IMHO worst atrocity since WWII, Stalin and Mao, Rwandan Genocide), economy, political ideologies, science (Unit 731 as mere example) etc. and to be all honest, I would not call religion even "winner" here. "Achievements" by Stalin or Mao beats those of Hitler and Pope Alexander II by mile. Also, "Positive Christianity" was NOT big factor in Nazi Ideology
  2. We will eventually, if we don't kill ourselves off or have a mass extinction level accident, be able to learn all the answers through science. Of course that is assuming that we rid ourselves the shackles of religion that is holding us back. Damn you meta, you already brought Heisenberg in this It's kinda funny how quantum physics collapsed whola basis of materialistic worldview. Ironic, actually. Anyway, do you know Sand that "Laws of nature" are nowadays "high propabilities" (or whatever the official english term is). It's really just semantics since highest propabilities tend to happen "quite often", but nonetheless, they're still propabilities
  3. That's always what comes in mind when talking about strenght of humanity and comparing it to strenght of e.g. animals
  4. Pfft. Everyone knows true Asuka would pwn anyone. That must be some sort of Dummy Plug. Oh wait, wrong topic Only FPS I still play actively is Finnwars, mod of BG 1942
  5. I would completely and totally agree with this if and only if Fallout 1 and 2 did this from the beginning, but they did not. The designers decided to use the PnP model and so, being a sequel to Fallout 1 and 2 so should Fallout 3. Now if this was an original IP with no relation to Fallout you would have a strong case and I would agree with it, but Fallout 3 is not an original IP. It is a sequel to an established series. I still don't find anything particularly pnpish in Fallouts :/

  7. Science isn't and will never be omnipotent nor it will give all the answers.
  8. The better objection is that any SP CRPG imitation of PnP is destined to fail because it doesn't include the one thing that makes PnP worthwhile: other people and good gamemastering. Without these elements, the pretense of imitating PnP gameplay is nothing more than an artificial limitation on the CRPG maker's creativity. Sure, it inspires some nostalgia for people with memories of fun PnP experiences, but that's not worth crippling the experience for everyone else. It's better by far when game developers adapt their approach to what works best in a SP CRPG environment instead of importing the limitations of the table-top game. Thanks Enoch, that's what I was thinking about ("sometimes" my communicating sucks). Trying to emulate PnP feeling should never be main goal for CRPG. I never felt Fallout being much like pnp gaming anyway. SPECIAL, Turn-based combat etc... none of it screamed about pen & paper more than any other random crpg like BG2. Well, maybe TB combat did. Most "pnpish" games I can come up with are old Gold Box games and Temple of Elemental Evil.
  9. I never understand why some people want perfect emulations of PnP. That's what PnP is for
